So yesterday a mystery in my mind was solved. When I first arrived in Phnom Penh, RM and Sok pointed out the National Monument to me. It was beautiful and golden. Over the next few days, I saw another monument exactly the same but a different color. This one was brown. In my mind, they were on two ends of the same long mall or park. I kept trying to photograph them both togehter (you know...one big and one little) but I could never get an angle where I could see both. In the day, I saw the brown one. At night I saw the gold one. You must remember, that tuk tukking does not allow for a lot of geographic understanding.
If you've already solved the mystery, well, bully for you.
There is only ONE National Monument. It is gold at night and brown during the day. I discovered this on my last evening here when I went into Parteatime and the monument was brown and I came out of Parteatime and the monument was gold.
And all of a sudden, the city of Phnom Penh made geographic sense.
