Old pictures of Cambodia tagged: 'Share for the next generation'

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

It was blown up twice, in 1972 and 1973, supposedly by Vietnamese PAVN sappers. The first time it was patched up but the second knocked out 2 spans and left it unusable for 20 years.

The white building in the middle is currently being demolished, and the block above the Aeroflot office is in a bad state, pieces of concrete fall of it and then and one impaled a car a few months ago. They are both about 60 years old.
