<br />
<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">Phnom Penh's come a million
miles since the Khmer Rouge and Year Zero but it's still a city with an
edge, especially at night. Entire buildings and city blocks are often
dark and unlit, sidewalks and streets in disrepair, piles of garbage are strewn in every direction. A small group of "Big Men" have their Mercedes, Toyota Land Cruisers and Lexus SUV, but
most of the people who inhabit Phnom Penh grind away on almost nothing,
living day to day, no real savings, no prospects, a daily darwinistic struggle for low-level survival .....with just a faint glimmer of hope far, far away, on a distant neon
horizon.....</span><br />
