Everyone has a National Museum

There's no questioning discrimination here. I paid 3 U.S. dollars to gain entry into the museum. While my friend Long paid 500 riel! That is equivalent to 12 cents! We call it "skin tax". Any visiting white friends, bring extra cash.

This is Cambodia's National Museum. Housing some of the country's finest examples of Angkorian and Pre-Angkorian artifacts. Some of these date back to the 8th century. Unfortunately there is no photography allowed. So needless to say we sneaked a few shots here and there. Which is a shame cause there's so much that should be documented photographically.
