black gun, you will love it there.
First night head to the Cat House (sign at the door says "Leave yor firearms with the secutiry guard") So when you've done that, head inside for a coldie, meal and a chat with one of the lovelies.
Second night head for Heart of Darkness, same deal.
Third night head for Sharkeys, same deal. Maybe you could make it Sharkeys first night, and ..... never mind, you'll do them all in time.
Down along the waterfront there is the Foreign Correspondents' Club and a host of other good places for a beer and meal.
Now, for some digs. Go to number A1 in 1A Street, or it may be 1A in A1 Street (no joke) I can't remember which way around it it. It's a short walk north ofthe central market, the one shaped like a dome, and a 5 minute stroll from the Cat House. Have a talk to Nigel Ghotbi or one of the other names under which he goes, and check out his apartments. You won't find any better in town, or you couldn't a year or so ago, nice finishes, central courtyard pool, etc. Nigel is a nice guy, denies he's Indian even though he looks Indian, proclaiming he's Iranian.
Food is cheap, people very nice in spite of their terrible past and current government, but they're Buddhist and that helps.
Enjoy Phnom Penh. They're still going through the SE Asian equivalent of the wild west.
