Cambodia's capital

I'm in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital. It is crazy here. Number of motorbikes and traffic is unbelievable. It's a contrast of beautiful French colonial architecture and, just few blocks away, extremely stinking and dirty streets and smelly markets. Asia. You're asking me if I like it here and I don't know what to say. There is no one answer.
Guys, you must be aware that travelling is not only taking beautiful pictures of mysterious temples and green rice fields. Think, that in all these exotic stilt houses there are people living in extreme poverty, with no drinking water, no bathroom, no education. That everyday I see children and disabled begging in the streets and there's 30-40 degrees at 9am. It's hard to say "yes, I love it". Sometimes it's too much...
