I was pretty whacked after the visit to the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh so I decided to forego the tour to the Killing Fields that had been arranged for the afternoon. This may have been no bad thing according to my fellow guests but I would have liked to visit the central market in Phnom Penh.
I did, however, before dinner enjoy the Folk Music and Dancing presented by children and teenagers from a local school. I was particularly fascinated by a one stringed instrument much like a zither that was played with great skill by a young woman to accompany the dancing. Sadly I don’t have a photo of the instrument but I bought a CD of the music so compelling and enjoyable on the ear were the melodies and harmonies.
