For a while, I have been trying to compile some pictures to contrast and back up my case. Finally, last weekend, I had a chance to visit the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh and now I present a series of photographs highlighting the contrasts between the Cambodian Royal Palace and the Vietnamese Reunification Palace, both at one point were the residences of their countries’ leaders.
