Phnom Penh Half-Day Trip

It’s on the second day of Chinese New Year 2009, morning, 8:15-12:00am. I initiated to travel around Phnom Penh on New Year days. We discussed and planned for the day. I invited several friends but most of them still had classes even on Chinese New Year. So at last, there were only four of us to carry the plan out. Our trip started from Royal University of Fine Art where Nith is studying at, and then we went to the National Museum, Royal Palace, and riding around Wat Phnom. Finally, we dropped by a small restaurant somewhere near Sisowath Highschool to have lunch. Although it’s a short and simple trip that is just going around Phnom Penh, we felt that it is marvelous and unforgettable. The following pictures shows about our trip:

This is a building within Royal University of Fine Arts. It’s rather old but still very elegant!

It’s in the National Museum. Cameras are not allowed to use in here. I took this picture before seeing the notice! Shh! No one knows this!

Two hands, a piece of art produced by former graduates of RUFA. It’s a lattice work from wire.

This is our group for this half day trip!

Still in the Museum.

Here is a pond in the National Museum. Many fish are swimming within it!

This is a resembling parade of King Sihakmony when he came to the reign.

Very beautiful! Isn’t it?

We take a seat to relax. A foreigner took this photo for us. We’re really thankful for that!

A water lily in Royal Palace. See! There is a bee inside!

We are thinking of what we should have lunch!

This is my dish—铁板素排面, a kind of fried noodle which is very interesting and delicious!

Another dish of noodle for my friend. I don’t know how it is called. It is in a really really big bowl! We were laughing when it’s served.
