Cambodia Vintage B&W Film Footage ~ Phnom Penh in 1965

Phnom Penh is pretty much still the same today – as in what people are doing in the clip – but with a much larger population. 

Somehow it seems like people were more sophisticated then. (A little bit rougher today?). 

At that time Phnom Penh was known as "The Pearl of the Orient", and futuristic compared to its neighboring countries. The fledgling Singapore looked to Phnom Penh as a kind of blue print for its own development and even borrowed their architects and engineers.
