Phnom Penh, a name that conjures images of unspeakable crimes against humanity, has been the national capital of Cambodia for over 550 years, thriving under French colonialism before losing its luster during the Khmer Rouge occupation. Much has happened since the city was founded about 1400 AD: wars, starvation, regime change, and today…a cultural revival and rebirth of a nation, and her people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe city is now a hub of activity for this Indochina nation of nearly 15 million people.
