Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh: A Cultural and Literary History | Milton E. Osborne
2 posts
Long neglected by Western travellers, Phnom Penh became Cambodias permanent capital in 1866. It has been home to Iberian missionaries and French colonialists, with a stunning mix of traditional palaces, Buddhist temples and transplanted French architecture. In the 1960s Phnom Penh deserved its reputation as the most attractive city in Southeast Asia. But after 1970 all this was to change, and a terrible civil war was followed by the Khmer Rouges capture of the city in 1975. Since the defeat of Pol Pot in 1979, Phnom Penh has slowly recovered, once again attracting perceptive travellers.

I never knew Voldemort was an American volunteer in Cambodia in the 1990‘s. Strange the double lives people can lead😜

Heideschrampf WHAT??? Voldemort made HIV happen?! Have you sent this to JKR via twitter? 5y
Purpleness @Heideschrampf Well, technically, he was just there at the time helping set up fair elections. There‘s no evidence that he personally caused HIV to come to Cambodia, but some volunteers and/or NGO employees did. 5y
Heideschrampf I'm sure if we dig deeper there'll be evidence of him in the 1980s ape reserves in the kongo... we've figured out his master plan! Use the muggles carnal instincts to KILL THE ALL! 5y
