Phnom Penh

"Since 2016, I have been joining an event called Nerd Night Phnom Penh — nerdy thing. This event has a unique format: in 400 seconds you can speak about whatever you want. The speakers have various topics and different themes. So every time you go there, you can find new people and new topics, and you can make good friends."

"Cyclo is like a cultural icon of Phnom Penh. If you ride on one you can go around Phnom Penh to iconic places like the Independence Monument and the Royal Palace. Riding on a Cyclo and going through the riverside is very comfy. You can learn by just going around Phnom Penh for an hour or two."

"Orussey Market is a super huge local market — I think there are more than 1000 vendors. Around the market there are tiny streets here and there, and every time I go, the streets and the people show me different moments and sceneries."

"Arey Ksat is on the opposite side of the Tonlé Sap river running through Phnom Penh. You can ride on a ferry and arrive there in 15 minutes, and while riding on the ferry you can enjoy the city view of Phnom Penh. You can borrow bikes and go around the island."

"Bassac Lane is kind of a small, community pub street. The area is always changing, but there are so many different types of bars and pubs, restaurants and small clubs. So you can grab some drinks and dance with friends, enjoy music, and taste the Phnom Penh night scene here. Back Street Bar is now a charm there — there are great DJs on weekends; you can enjoy different types of music every week."
