From Saigon to Phnom Penh

Border crossing between Vietnam (from Saigon) and Cambodia (going to Phnom Penh) ... Took a bus from Saigon going to Phnom Penh.

After a few days in Vietnam (south), I was excited to move on to my next destination - Cambodia.  All I can think of about Cambodia are the Angkor temples and Angkor Wat was always in my mind during this trip.   I arrived in Phnom Penh via bus from Ho Chi Minh and decided to spend two days before proceeding to my ultimate destination - Siem Reap for Angkor Wat.

Upon arrival, I lost no time to go around the capital of Cambodia via tuktuk.  Saw the major landmarks of the city.  One interesting moment in my city excursion was when I stopped to a "temple" where there were many monkeys.  Children were selling a type of fruit (forgot the name) as food for the monkeys.  I wanted to try feeding the monkeys but I chickened out!
