Phnom Penh

I was born in Kampong Cham Province and I have go to live in Phnom Penh since I finished my high up school. When I first came here in Phnom Penh, I felt truly surprise and scare. The building and populate were far different from my hometown. I got around Phnom Penh by motorbike for a first few days. I saw many high rise buildings in particular the citys French colonial buildings were beautiful. I saw some different kind of transportation that running on the road such as modern car, Motorbikes, Motorbike-taxis (motodops), Taxis were on tap(predicate) at a few locations, Tuk-tuks, and Cyclos.There transportations were in the great amount if compared to my province and it sometimes caused a very serious traffic jam and accidents. I also went to the Royal Palace which no photography was allowed inside the Silver Pagoda and some of the Palace buildings. You were expected to dress decently (no bare legs or shoulders). Beside this, I went to Wat Phnom. I liked the park there. It was a pleasant green space and a everyday gathering place for locals.A few monkeys kept billet there as well and will helped themselves to any drinks you leave unattended. After that I went to Independence and Liberation memorials. Impressive Buddhist-style Independence Memorial, commemorating the departure of the French in 1953, dominated the centre of the city. Nearby was the very ugly Stalin-style Liberation Memorial, marking the Vietnamese capture of the city in 1979. The area was especially popular on weekend nights with locals when the multi-colored fountains were activated and communal music was played.I took several pictures there and got some rest. I also went to Sorya shopping center which located at the south of the Central Market. Its on a North-South Street on the west side. It is currently Phnom Penhs main Western-style mall. It is air-conditioned and contains a range of cheap fast-food outlets as well as a well-stocked supermarket named Lucky Supermarket. You can do sho pping, eating, drinking, playing game and whatsoever. Everything is served here.After I live in Phnom Penh for many years, I feel that it is all in all different from my province. Phnom Penh is developing very fast. Many high buildings were built, many companies were established and the whole citys infrastructures are constructing rapidly. One I feel very anxious about is people here are competing for each other very aggressively. If you are not smart enough and you dont high education, you will be jobless, isolate and demise from the society.
