I just spent three days in Phnom Penh. I do not think that it is necessary to devote so much time to this city. Finally there is not much to see.
The few remarkable monuments can be visited in a single day 
The rest is walking in the streets to apprehend a little the life of the inhabitants but it is a city which is less varied and less interesting than other cities in Asia it seems to me.
I was interested in the difference in the use of Tuk-Tuk here especially compared to Bangkok. 
In Bangkok, they are only used by tourists. Locals use public transport or taxis, which are very numerous and cheaper. Here, almost no taxi and no public transport, the Tuk-Tuk, it is a very usual way of transport for the inhabitants of Phnom Penh.
Finally, what interested me the most was walking along the Mekong River to observe the habits of the Phnom Penhese 
I still made some interesting encounters, notably that of a Quebecer who is really a character as much in his way of dressing as in his way of speaking as in his philosophy. He is someone who seems a bit lost in life, a very lonely man who landed in Cambodia because he had a friend there and who seems to be deeply bored. He’s a former sailor, he’s been around the world a lot and finally he seems to think that Cambodia is the ideal place to spend his retirement. I leave him with this opinion, which I don’t share at the moment, but I hope to change my opinion as I discover the rest of the country.
I’m leaving today for Kampot, a seaside town famous for its pepper (the best in the world) and then to the islands which seem to be a really idyllic place.
