May palasyo pa yata si Sihanouk si Pyongyang. In fact, lahat ng bodyguard niya, North Koreans. Maganda ang relasyon ng Cambodia at North Korea.Toehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05760646741792242833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015032357539449473.post-4713893991467324342008-02-20T09:02:00.000+08:002008-02-20T09:02:00.000+08:00Hi Toe!great trivia. i've always wondered what was...<B>Hi Toe!</B><BR/>great trivia. i've always wondered what was the Royal Palace was like during the Khmer Rouge regime. i've read somewhere that, the King left the palace during the dark regime? i don't if it's true but if i were him, i would have fled too. such majestic place would only look phony with all those killings happening around a country in chaos and your people dying here and there.<BR/><BR/>alam mo, tuwang-tuwa ako dyan sa mga sapatos na yan. ang totoo'y hindi na ako pumasok sa loob kase ayaw kong iwan ang rubber shoes ko, mahirap kayang magsintas tapos madudumihan pa ang medyas ko, hehe. sinilip ko na lang para wala naman akong ma-miss. saka bawal mag-picture sa loob. tapos pinagtitingnan ko na lang yung iba't ibang uri ng sapatos na nakahalera sa labas. nakakatuwa. nahiya lang akong tumambay ng matagal kase madaming nakapila. pero, isa sa pinakapaborito ko ang Royal Palace. Hamak na maganda siya kesa Grand Palace ng Thailand sa Bangkok. Ang ganda talaga ng Royal Palace. Sobra. At saka tipong lahat ng kuha ko maganda, kase napaka-photogenic ng lugar!<BR/><BR/><B>Mike!</B><BR/>as always, thanks for appreciating!<BR/><BR/><B>Redbaron!</B><BR/>so silly of me to assume that those are Cambodia's flags well in fact I knew so well what it looks like. ahh, bummer! <BR/><BR/>YES, it is the North Korean flag. Why is it there? I am not sure but, I remember <I>Toe</I> told us that the PM of North Korea paid an official visit to Cambodia when we were there so that probably explains it. But I have to check with Toe. Right now, that is the only explanation I could think of why the flags of North Korea are hanging in the Royal Palace. You are such an observant. Of course you know it's the flag of North Korea!<BR/><BR/><B>Peter</B>,<BR/>don't you find the sky a bit too dull? I was a bit frustrated with that and i thought you might point it out. getting the white balance is quite difficult so i tried to concentrate getting the right exposure on the structure rather than work on with getting the right contrast of the sky. that is the reason why i also posted the Chanchaya Pavillon shot, because I really like the exposure there (blue sky and nice structure). the place is so photogenic, it's hard not get the exposure right.my gulchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04502155278528048782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015032357539449473.post-61569272860532850752008-02-20T04:27:00.000+08:002008-02-20T04:27:00.000+08:00I'll tell you one thing: it is very different from...I'll tell you one thing: it is very different from our royal palace. That Throne Hall looks like a large seafaring vessel.<BR/>Pretty amazing, looks like a place well worth visiting.

Haha... but I've never seen photos of all those shoes before... iba ka talaga. :)<BR/><BR/>BTW, some trivia for you... when King Sihamoni was under house arrest by the Khmer Rouge, he was the one cleaning the Throne Hall. About thirty years later, that was where he was crowned king of Cambodia. :)Toehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05760646741792242833noreply@blogger.com
