Virtual tour of Phnom Penh

Taking a look at Cambodian capital Phnom Penh from the space is made possible with Google Earth. A Cambodian blogger in the U.S. posted a series of screenshots of Phnom Penh’s most interesting places to visit: Independence Monument, Wat Phnom, Royal Palace, Chaktomuk Theater, National Museum & Veal Men, Sisowath Quay, Central Market, Senate, Le Royal Hotel, Olympic Stadium, Tuol Sleng Museum, Boeng Kak, Royal University of Phnom Penh, Institute of Foreign Languages, Chroy Changva Bridge, Building and Tonle Bassac Theater, Sorya Shopping Center, Municipal Water Supply Department, and Phnom Penh International Airport.

Via Telegraph Blogs, Online Travel Editor Francisca Kellett wrote ‘Sun and rain in Phnom Penh‘:

Today, though, the skies have darkened and there’s a weird sort of brittle pressure in the air.
We’ve just arrived in Phnom Penh, the sprawling capital, and a hot wind is wafting in off the Tonle Sap river. The rain will be a welcome blessing; maybe the air will loose its cloying stickiness for a few hours. It’s been an incredible six days. We arrived in the staggering city of Siem Reap last Monday.
