For me, public markets are one of the best places to soak up the local culture. Psah O’Russei, or O’Russei Market, is a sprawling multi-level market building with a parking area (hotel, restaurant and a spa) on the top floor.

This is where I like spending a little bit more time, just looking at the skyline or at the sight below. It’s amazing that there’s always interesting things you can see from the top floor.

This is where I buy our stocks. It is a relatively small market with dry and wet sections. It does get really busy especially in the mornings when, perhaps, half of the population in our commune, prefer to shop.

It’s a bit dark and dingy but I enjoy the incredible sights, sounds, and smells that I encounter every time I come here. I love going to markets and that’s one thing I make sure I do whenever I’m in another country. If you want to see the culture and meet the locals, this is one of the places to visit!
