Advantages: Low cost of living relaxed lifestyle

Disadvantages: Stupid people telling you how you live your life while gettting well paid

Phnom Penh has changed a lot since the last reviews were written, it's changed a lot in the last 3 and a half years I've been here.

Since I've been here I haven't heard of a westerner being shot, compare that to Thailand where the police do it when they get angry. Looking around you'll see a vast display of pretentious wealth, much of which is due to corruption, but when compared to western countries is just more obvious and not so well hidden.

Living here is like living anywhere, you've got to get up (sometime), do some work (not too much) and have some fun (7 days a week is acceptable).

Many of the expats you'll meet here are friendly and will spend hours telling you how much they like living here.

The quality of hotels and restaurants is very high, however there is still a limited range of cultural attractions once you've done the touristy things.

Visit Cambodai the next time you come to South East Asia - you won't be dissapointed. If you are in Phnom Penh drop by and say hello.
