Russian Market
The Russian market, along with the central market, in Phnom Penh is the most interesting and lively of the many markets in the city. Here you will find fruit, vegetables, fish, clothes, furniture etc. and the prices are certainly striking. The mixture of flavours and colours, the variety of products ... I felt sick during my trip in Christmas 2003. Of course you need to haggle, but the poverty encourages the merchants´ generosity.
