    Personal highlights

    1. Royal Palace Phnom Penh: since 1866 the royal residence
    2. Name: Preah Barum Reachea Veang Chaktomuk Serei Mongkol
    3. Kings of Cambodia: monarchs tracked back to the first century BC
    4. Kingdom of Cambodia: an authoritarian, superficial democracy
    5. My journey: exploring Phnom Penh alone on a motorcycle
