I am now in Cambodia with wifey and two
daughters for a short trip. The city, Phnom Penh with road full of pot holes, lined
with street vendors and overhead electric cables reminds me of what Singapore was
40 years ago. Peoples that we met since our arrival yesterday were mostly friendly.
These include taxi drivers, tuk tuk riders et al.
Halal food is easily
available. Even the KFC is halal. Dinner last night was at a Malaysian
Restaurant at Puncak Hotel. Today we had KFC for lunch and dinner at a
restaurant serving Malay food. The owner of the restaurant is a Champa Malay,
native to Cambodia.
We visited the
Genocide camp where 3 million Cambodian were killed en masse within 3 years
during the reign of Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge. This was all in the name of
LIBERATION. A sad lesson for all. Anyway, we are enjoying the trip and will be doing more visiting tomorrow........ and of course more shopping.
