First Impressions of Sihanoukville (S'ville) 🇰🇭
Pre-trip fantasy: Macau-level glitz, neon-lit nights ✨ Reality check: "Wait… is this a Chinese economic experiment?" 🫠 🔍 The Breakdown: Beyond the casino strip? Feels less developed than Phnom Penh—except for the 24/7 Chinese signage (if not for Khmer script, GPS would’ve sworn we teleported to Fujian). 🏗️ Skyline vibe: "Construction graveyard chic" — half-built towers rotting in the humidity like a crypto investor’s portfolio. 🍜 Food scene: Either we missed the real spots, or the hype was a masterclass in delusion. (Where are the legendary seafood shacks?!) 🌫️ Mood: The economy’s as hazy as today’s air quality—bring your own optimism. Final Verdict: ‘M’ stands for "Maybe Don’t" 😂 #NoRegretsButNoReturn #SihanoukvilleReality #CambodiaTravel #ExpectationVsReality #GhostTowersOfAsia #ChinaTownVibes #TropicalGrit
