The capital of Cambodia is apparently a real city: real roads, real people, and way less touristy compared to Siem Reap. We spent here two days walking around, eating at local restaurants (hint: trying to explain what you actually want to eat is not so easy), and visiting the interesting spots.
The main point of interest for us was the Killing Fields and the S-21 prison (now a museum for genocidal crimes). Both commemorate the crimes against humanity that were executed in Cambodia during the Pol Pot's regime between 1975-1979. About 1.7 millions Cambodians were murdered during this time. It was very sad and interesting to learn about this country's horrible history.
