Today we visited the Royal palace in the heart of Phnom Penh. Each day the staff wears a different color, I forgot  the colors but i will post them later. We also went to a cooking class and a movie.

In the time that the french had colinies in Cambodia there was a lot of conflict and when the french returned to there country the government gave Cambodia a entire house imported on a ship all the way from France. That is so amazing and crazy. They took it apart and sent it peace by paece to here.

There is a temple there at the palace that it floors are covered with pure silver. the call it the silver pagoda but all the locals call it the emerald pagoda because it has a pure emerand Buddha in it. They also had a statue of Buddha made of pure gold and it way 180 pound mined right here in Cambodia.
