After yesterday's trip, it's just all purely pleasant places to visit today. So after breakfast, we started off to the National Museum. It is a lovely place with lovely architecture. Rather similar to buildings you see in Thailand.
This is the front view of the national museum.
This is the middle section of the museum, there is a lovely garden there
Here is another angle of the garden. They are lots of stone artifacts inside this museum. Besides that, lots of stone carvings of Buddha from historical site. They are also bronze and silver accessories displayeed here. After the museum we zoom off for a drink. We requested for a place where Cambodian normally hang out.
I call this 'yam cha' place cambodian style. There are no chairs but 'hammocks' (i think that's wrongly spelt) hanging at each poles. 
Then, there is a table in the middle. The coke here is definitely way cheaper from the tourist area.
We went to the Japanese bridge, which is nothing great. Just an ordinary concrete bridge.Hahahha. However, what lies after the bridge are seafood restaurant which cost a bomb to eat there. So, we decided to head back to areas near our hotel for dinner instead. Oo, then we went for the massage. after much bargaining, Jia Xin manage to pull the price down to US 5 per person :) It's the Cambodian massage with oil. Very very nice...after such a long lonnngg dayyyy!
Day 4 is basically spent in Central Market, so its a shopping day. Hardly tried any food there coz the locals really charged us with a high price. In this market, they have lots of silver goods, jewelry, spectacles, clothes, bags and any other items you can find. I find it not cheap to shop in Cambodia. After that, we head over to the Russian Market. This place reminds me of the Jatujak market in Bangkok. Except, it is not as huge as the one in Bangkok i think. In the evening, Malina's Cambodian friend brought us to dinner, in the centre of the town. This is the first time I felt that this place has more development in it. It reminds me a bit of Ipoh town. The food in this restaurant is way way better! The best food within this 4 days in Phnom Penh. The food is still slightly sweeter than what I normally expect from curry and tom yam. They have something that is similar to our otak otak, but I cant' remember what it is called..aaargghh. The night was spent listening to Billy Page, singer songwriter performing at the next door cafe. Actually got a copy of his cd, very country rock feel to it. It is our last night here in Phnom Penh. the next day we will be travelling by bus to Siem Reap. A 6 hour journey!
