Phnom Penh at Night

I've seen very little of the country so far. An airport, a baggage claim, the visa and immigration counters and then, Phnom Penh at night seen from the back of a car taking us to the hotel.

It was after 11 p.m. and we'd been traveling for more than 24 hours by the time we saw the lights of the city. Though it was only from the car windows, it was a start, a taste of what is to come.

To the left a square,  a long square, a pagoda, trees all lit up. To the right, small cafes with outdoor seating.

Old colonial buildings in the shadows, some with modern stores on the ground floors.

I have a lot to learn and a lot to see ... and my first meeting is in two hours. It will be more than 12 hours until I can see Phnom Penh at night again.
