CITY vs City

I arrived in Phnom Penh today. I had forgotten how big it is! In my mind, Cambodia was the villages that I had gotten used to. I forgot their actually was a city! Siem Reap is the second biggest city in Cambodia, so in reality, Cambodia is more of the villages. But, there's a city too! Here are the differences: In Phnom Penh there are mottos, but there are also cars. Lots of cars! Walking anywhere is scary. In Siem Reap, there are cars, but they are the minority. There are a lot of mottos and tuk tuks! In Phnom Penh, there are buildings. Big buidlings! In Siem Reap, there are little shacks, and some hotels. In Phnom Penh, there are stores. In Siem Reap, the sidewalks are covered with people trying to make money, by selling anything from peanuts to soap to ducks to whatever! You can find it on the street. In Phnom Penh, there is barbed wire everywhere. I'm not sure if this is for security or a relic of the time the city was a virtual prison. In Siem Reap, there are ancient relics everywhere. In Phnom Penh, people live in apartments. In Siem Reap, people live in huts and shacks, and a few apartments and houses. In Phnom Penh, the roads have names (not that they are posted anywhere)n and the streets are all paved. In Siem Reap, the main roads have names and are paved. But, a lot are not named and not paved. A lot of bumpy dirt roads in Siem Reap. In Phnom Penh, nobody knows who I am or what I do. In Siem Reap, a lot of people know me. Or at least recognize me and say "hello!"
