Children’s letter: Phnom Penh Beauty and Noisy

Moeun Yin, girl, 11 year old, Phum Tabenn, Srok Svay, Banteay Meanchey province.

It is the first time in my life that I have come to visit Phnom Penh. When I arrived, I felt excited because Phnom Penh is very busy and has a lot of people. What really attracted me were the big building, houses and all the cars and motos traveling in circles all day. Al night, the electric lights make it bright like daytime. There are also many proper roads.

My aunt took me to Phnom Penh to visit the Water Festival. I took a walk along the riverside with my cousin and saw a lot of boat racing and crowds of people. At night, I see eight floats with beautiful colored lights many beautiful fireworks. After the fireworks were finished I went to a concert and looked around in many shops.

The next day I went to Soriya mall with my aunts. I took the escalator up many floors to see the clothing ships, the shoe shops, and then the toys shops. My aunt bought a toy butterfly for me.

I hope I will come to visit Phnom Penh again. I also hope that the roads in my village will be as clean as good as the roads in Phnom Penh.
