Hot and stuffy but its charm. Dons if the flight (which we lost) in Kuala Lumpur took us to Phnom Penh Cambodia's capital, after queuing the plane on the runway landing because one of the flights had been delayed coming out first. A very nice but you have already had not slept at all the night before, we stood at the airport Cambodian, there after completing the typical report due at customs in other countries as we were denied entry into the country. And unlike other countries in Cambodia that you acquire a visa before moving to Adun at the airport, meaning that after the flight down is that you pay 10 dollars or the equivalent in any currency, and back to fill another report trade us also asks passport photo. Luckily we had photos when aviem renewed trade us visa to immigration office in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and after paying 100 dollars ringuits because we did not have to enter the country. Phnom Penh is the capital trade us of the Kingdom of Cambodia and the city's largest and most populous country. At first glance it seems that you resemblance to Thailand but poorer, although the charm of the people remains or so it seemed in the few moments that we were there, but the tuk-tuks are just as past and you try to defraud everywhere, even talking about scamming the place where it seems to be an Olympic sport This scam is in Manila. Where poor people are always trying to get the money, but people think of good faith can always end up making some friends.
Just leaving the airport we went to look at the map of the lonley planet to decide where we go, but last night we had already read where we could go. But all the alligators and we were waiting bidding trade us tuk tuk and taxi in the end we went for US $ 7 to gues house but we were interested in, before stopping at a discernible change currency change ringuits Malays who had coins premises, the Cambodian trade us rial. 1 euro equals 5400 KHR Cambodian riel. The Cambodian riel currency is very low and therefore changed for example 10 euros you get a wad of cash that seems to be a millionaire, but in reality only bring $ 10 to pay for both a meal in a restaurant you have to disburse a beam Bowling impressive, but that's not all, because local people have seen their currency is not practiced chose to use the US dollar as the currency is more international, but now happens for good times and this has involved more, so all things are prices in dollars, and everywhere it is used interchangeably 2 coins, you can pay in dollars and some Cossa you back change in Riel or the reverse. In addition ATMs give money in dollars, making the local currency is completely useless, I remember the beginning of the euro in our country, if you remember that report the first months of 2000, the euro and the peseta coexisted every day, here is exactly trade us the same but in a permanent state, making're always with the conversion, as for how to pay you back or change in currency variance. Leaving aside the money issue, to reach the Royal Guest House, the venue for hosting trade us us went for a ride and eat something, but the relentless sun made acavesim after walking a few blocks outside terrace a bar where a plate of food and a local beer, Angkor beer, accompanied us. In the afternoon an indispensable nap and then in the evening a beer in a bar, billiards and dinner. Tired we arrived in our room the night or $ 8 will not cost us much sleep, after climbing the stairs up to the 5th floor. Today is a new day, after a marathon day without sleep day and night, airport today were new. As we went to sleep last night dora! Today we had risen early, and went for the tourist to a temple that is located next to the hotel along the river, where we have some pictures but the camera is out of battery mid visit and we stayed half we too, so come back tomorrow trade us to finish taking pictures. The air conditioning was the main reason for our last walk, it was up to the mall on the same street in the guest house where I got the money for the first time in a Cambodian cashier, the cashier has obviously dollars, and as had lost my mobile phone in the Philippines here bought an iphone 4 for a price of $ 100, we did not know if it was original or not, the girl in the shop as he could avoid the question, but the price was too pit, to give me box and instructions I found that was not original, but unlike the first thing we bought in Bangkok this works very well and most of the touch screen is much more accurate
