Corner St 5 and St 130. This building had been neglected since the mid seventies, like numerous other colonial buildings in the city, renovating often being more costly than a new build. Several historic buildings were allowed to be pulled down. Many have now been renovated including this one with a restaurant on the ground floor. Photo taken 1998

Stung Meanchey Municipal garbage dump. Many families lived in ramshackle huts and worked on the dump gathering whatever they could sell for recycling. It was a precarious existence for hundreds of children. A pungent garbage city, knee-high with flies. The site was closed in 2009. Photo taken 1998
