I like Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It is a city of 1.5 million people. English is a commonly used language.
There are a few tall buildings, but most of the buildings are less than six stories high. This makes the city look more charming.
The climate is quite pleasant. It is not as hot and humid as in Singapore. The temperature appears to be cooler. Perhaps it is further from the equator.
Most people use a motor cycle, which is a more sensible type of transport compared to cars. I do not see many buses. I hope that this will become the next form of transport. They should avoid the mistake of most cities in allowing too many cars on the road.
Although the income level is low, compared to Singapore, the people are able to get by, due to the lower cost of living. However, imported products are expensive. So, they have to live with fewer choices.

ReplyDeleteTraffic move slowly in Phnom Penh. The average speed is 20 kph. Most road junctions do not have any traffic lights or any policeman to control the traffic. Every vehicle gives way to the other vehicles. While taking a journey from one part of the city to another, I observed that there was only 1 traffic light in a very busy boulevard.
ReplyDeleteCambodia is a young nation. 33% of the population is below 15 years. In the case of Singapore, the ratio is 16% only!
