Cycling Saigon to Phnom Penh. For western visitors, Phnom Penh can be a rough change. The city is characterized by heat and humidity, very basic infrastructure, rubbish in the dusty streets, risky traffic, blocked sidewalks, harassment from tuk tuk and moto drivers, touts and beggars - most of which can be dealt with using a smile together with a firm "no" and simply walking away. The Ministry of Land Management still allows many architectural horrors to be built, though a determined group of Khmer architects is fighting the trend. Unhappily there are few green spaces.
