Feel the History of Phnom Penh

Is it difficult to spell the name of the Cambodian capital city? Would you say this: Phnom Phen or Phnom Penh? Phnom Penh has its history. That is the most interesting thing to read.

The first place we stayed in in Cambodia was it’s capital, Phnom Phen. This city is just overflowing with history, most of which many aren’t even aware of. From 1975-1979 approximately 3 million educated Cambodian people were killed by the Khmer Rouge Regime. Surprising that this could have went on not so long ago and yet not many people even know about it. We went to the Killing Fields where many of the people (women and children included) were taken to be killed and buried in mass graves.
