Well you
either love it or hate it, we absolutely loved being in Phnom
Penh. Gary was there for one year with the Australian Army (UNTAC) United Nations back in 1992-1993 and while he was away I met 3 other wives whose husbands were also in Cambodia with UNTAC.
The four of
us formed a friendship that has been going for nearly 20 years.
We all decided that wherever we lived we would meet somewhere in
Australia every two years for a reunion.
It just so happened that one of the girl’s husband’s was posted to Cambodia, so when it was her turn to choose where we would all meet in 2005 the decision was obvious. We are off to Cambodia. Gary was a bit wary of this as he had not been back in 12 years so we decided we would only stay 5 days. What a time we had, we loved it there and as soon as we came home we booked to go back for three weeks again just over 7 months later.
Now we have
been back 4 times and no doubt will be planning a lot more
visits! |

Our
first trip to Cambodia was very exciting as on our arrival we
were met by our friends and an old mate of Gary’s who he hadn’t
seen since he lived in Cambodia in 1992/93. |

I just loved our first drive through the streets of Phnom Penh with Gary pointing out things and remembering places. The traffic was unbelievable, so many push bikes, motor bikes and cyclos, there seems to be no road rules but more important no road rage. It's a city of young people. Buildings that were once modern and impressive now look old and tired. Then next to them are beautiful renovated grand hotels. It truly is an amazing city.
