Your day starts with a short visit to the Olympic Stadium which, while never hosting an Olympic games, is an iconic structure capable of seating 70,000 people.

Continuing on, we visit the Russian Markets, which were named after the 1980s period, when people from Russia were the predominant tourists. This bustling local market is a treasure trove of clothes, art, handicraft, food, and almost anything else you can think of. We move on from here, taking with us a local snack for morning tea, through the bustling streets of downtown Phnom Penh.

It is a somber thought that these bustling streets you are seeing now lead you, like war victims, to the Genocide Museum. Alternatively known as Tuol Sleng Museum, this former school was transformed into a prison and an interrogation center. It now chronicles this dark chapter of Cambodian history, and is a must-see for those wanting an understanding of this period and what the people suffered through.
