The Francophone Factor

In recent years, globalization has been on the rise in this once bucolic quaint country. You can practically buy most Western and Asian products at the local supermarket and shopping malls. Many of the store signs are written in English. And many Cambodians are avid students of English. Yet in various corners of everyday life, you are reminded that this country was once a Protectorat of the French until 1953. 

Getting lost in one of these alleyways faintly left me reminding of the winding alleys of France.
