India before Phnom Penh

We had anticipated finding Phnom Penh to be on the overwhelming side. We’d read about the noise, dirt, beggars, and chaos, but honestly, after Delhi, it’s pretty easy. We hadn’t thought about that as a benefit of our schedule. While Phnom Penh would be shocking if we’d come here straight from Seattle (or any other modern, Western city), it’s so much easier than Delhi. There are far fewer beggars and they don’t follow you down the street, and the tuk tuk drivers smile back and nod when you say “no thank you.”
