Would you like to buy one? This shop is only one of the hundreds of secondhand car shops all over the city. You’d be surprised at what kinds of cars and brands are available here in Cambodia. It’s like a minefield out here – luxury vehicles, SUVs, and many, many more.

It was built in 1956, just after Cambodia’s independence. I forgot the name of the stupa but I’ll ask my Khmer friends again and update this post.
