PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA: REALITY CHECKS (continued…)
Reality Check No. 1: Gem Shopping
After looking at stone temples and stone carvings for several days, I decided to look at other stones. That is, gem stones.
While waiting for Padma’s plane to arrive, Toe took me to the Russian Market. According to Toe, tourists and foreigners living in Phnom Penh shop at the Russian Market because the vendors speak English. Other than gem stones, export overruns clothing, silverworks, wood carvings and other Khmer products are also sold in the Russian Market.
