3) The poor neighborhoods
Somewhere in this poor neighborhoods of Phnom Penh I meet Tong he is a taxi driver he buy with a lot of labor one motorbike and he make the tour of Phnom Penh to the tourist that visit he's town, the life is very difficult for Tong he have 3 daughters one son and a blind mother to take care. It was a strange that many of the children they like to touch me but Tong was explain to me that it was really difficult here to see people with white skin some of the children that was younger they never see before. The people here was happy even that they was really poor. The system is killing the human spirit. But here they living  for the moment and is nothing to take this moment a way.

My interest about Phnom Penh was not limited to the poor neighborhoods in the center of the city I discover one of the biggest school that is exist here the school of culture arts. Children's from all ages they come here to learn them on culture by teach in them traditional music and dancing, in every room there are different teachers for a different instrument. This room is the biggest is the place of dancing and theater. For me worth a visit.
