Another Siem Reap

The locals' Siem Reap, the Siem Reap for tourists - the Europeans, the Chinese or the Koreans all have different hotels and different routes - the NGOs' Siem Reap - and there again citizenship is a big divide - I discovered a more hidden Siem Reap: a few minutes tuc tuc drive from the touristic night market stands the Muslim neighbourhood with its mosque. Apparently there are one million Muslims in Cambodia out of 14 millions inhabitants. They would originate from the Chams people who migrated from Vietnam. The interesting moment of the day was to strike a conversation with 2 words of Bahasa with one of the brothers near the mosque.
