Night View

View from my front porch, around 9PM, Phnom Penh

While Phnom Penh starts buzzing with activity early in the morning, even the busiest intersections empty out by 9 PM. From the eerily deserted streets, it's easy to feel like you're stumbling in at 4 AM, while in reality its only 10:30. I find the city particularly pretty at night, especially just after a big rain.

The downside, of course, is that construction noise kicks off at 7 am, and cafés and restaurants close by 8 pm. Not a great place for a night-owl.
