Cliff(y) Goes Travelling

Preah Moha Ksatreiyani Kossamak Avenue 106, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Fri-Sun: 5.00pm - 11.00pm Known as Phsar Reatrey among the locals, Phnom Penh Night Market is the only formal night market in the capital city of Cambodia. Size wise, it isn't very big, but you can find all sorts of things from apparels to toys, statues to spices and of course, food and drinks.

Preah Sisowath Quay, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Literally meaning 'large freshwater river', Tonlé Sap river flows from the lake at Siem Reap, which is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 1997. The riverside is a popular place for locals and tourists alike to enjoy the view, along with the gentle breeze of the wind.

Roluos Village, Sangkat Cheung Aek, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Daily: 8.00am - 6.00pm Situated approximately 17 km outside from central Phnom Penh, Choeung Ek used to be the biggest killing field under the Khmer Rouge regime. From the genocide museum, it took us slightly more than an hour to get there by chartered bus due to traffic jam. Over a million people were executed there between 1975 and 1979.

Street 113, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Daily: 7.00am - 5.30pm I recall how disturbing and heart-wrenching it was when I watched a documentary about the Cambodian genocide under the Khmer Rouge regime led by Pol Pot. I finally had the chance to be physically present at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum last December, which name means 'Hill of the Poisonous Trees' in Khmer.

No. 36 Street 232 Corner 115, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Rose Emerald Hotel (3*) situated at central Phnom Penh. From the property, it is 1.1 km to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, the former school-turned-prison that chronicles the genocide carried out by the Khmer Rouge regime, while Wat Langka and Independence Monument are 1.6 km away.  

SIN-PNH (1h 55m) Boeing 737-800 ETD: 4.20pm (GMT + 8)  ETA:  5.15pm (GMT + 7) On 28 November last year, my colleagues and I brought a group of thirty students to Phnom Penh, Cambodia for an Overseas Community Involvement Programme. We began our journey with SilkAir, which is regional wing of Singapore Airlines. It was unfortunate that SilkAir called a few days earlier to notify us regarding the cancellation of the earlier flight, MI606, that we were supposed to take. Thus, we had no choice but to take MI608 and wasted a day that could've been put to good use.

8 Sentosa Gateway, Resorts World Sentosa,  Sentosa Island,  Singapore Daily: 10.00am - 7.00pm First of all, Happy New Year! Pardon me for the hiatus as I've been away in search of materials for future posts. I thought I wouldn't have the time to write about the Pokémon Research Exhibition inside the S.E.A. Aquarium at the point of writing, but apparently it has been extended till 5 March 2017. It's the first time the fun and interactive exhibition is held outside Japan.
