      Gabriel, the Russian Market is an early market. Closes around 4pm iirc. The journey from there to Bassac Lane costs about 5000Riel ($1.25) so, yes, you are being overcharged. Haven't been to PP since last November but the prices you are paying for food are up to twice what I would normally pay on st 172 or Kampot.

      00:17 — Gabriel, anywhere whose “Happy Hour” begins at 07:00 is a winner with me. Got a big kick out of seeing that sign!
      * Pork anything is a winner with me!
      * 95F, in April yet, does not bode well for the heating up that will take place during the rest of the Summer.
      * Malis looks brilliant! Maybe eat yoyr last meal there if you have not left Cambodia already, Gabe!
      * 05:45 — Avo Toast is all the rage everywhere!
      * 06:28 — Shout out to Grace Slick who so marvellously sung “White Rabbit” with The Airplane (Jefferson, that is!) ❤
      Man,could that Broad belt!
      * 07:50 — I recommend waiting until you get to Greece to order Greek food, knowing you will get the real deal, there and cooked to perfection (hopefully, too). But, you know that,G., too.
      * 17:35 — Dragonfruit is fruit of the Gods! I wish we had the ones with the beautiful purple-y, magenta flesh here for they TRULY are instagram- photo worthy.
      * 18:11 — Russian Market is still called such, oddly enough, because there was a large Russian expat population living in that city in the ‘80s
      * 21:28 — Gabriel, aren’t you accustomed to extreme heat and humidity by now, having been in India during the summers or … wasn’t it humid at that time? You are a hearty Soul, with great presence of mind, I dare add.
      25:30 — Gabe you are in Cambodia and you are eating a cheeseburger and fries? Suit yourself, of course but, I would try to eat more local delicacies because when are you going to get to eat Cambodia food stateside, much? Or, elsewhere, much?
      25:15 — Coda: Ever tried Tiger beer? I did once. It is not too shabby. Then again, I like me sone Heinys (NOT big butts) and you do not, so …
      Heinys are Heinekens btw.

      I noticed most ya videos Ur not very friendly with people too serious sense of humour helps . And part of travel is meeting people and mixing in with the culture

      Great video. Really in depth look at Phnom Penh. The backstreet neighbourhoods, local markets and the beautiful temple, all contrasting parts of this living thriving city. What a great ending with a rickshaw ride at sunset, and a mojito to finish off the journey. Loved the music.❤ Cheers!🍸

      That was funny when you said " Atleast dogs are all napping …" and one of them heard you and said "Sorry buddy , not me !!".
      Looks like this one followed you all the way from Jaisalmer !! 😂😂

      You're getting ripped off. Airport Taxi is the most expensive and abusive kind of taxi rates you can find. You are being charged double what the actual cost is, why not try to negotiate it first? The airport taxi can't be negotiated, but the rickshaw can

      Great look at Cambodia so far. Love it. PS, maybe in 10 years, you will be living in Cambodia or Thailand, and visiting the exotic and 3rd world of the U.S. where we make t-shirts and ear buds as our primary industry and can get a rickshaw ride through the various downtowns.
