It's Wintertime in Sunny SihanoukVille. Our favorite time of year!
Boats are flying, people are bent into pretzel shapes doing yoga, boats are speeding to and from the islands, there's Japanese and Italian restaurants on every street corner, and "63 cent" shops all around downtown.
It's also the time to make reservations, if you're thinking of staying around here.
Chinese New Year is coming up, The Angkor Beer Half Marathon, and then Khmer New Year.

2,500 Riel Store - a whole bunch of them downtown. Everything's just 2,500 Riel (63 cents)
