Wise up

Those chaps from Pocket Guide Cambodia have now published Phnom Penh's first fully-indexed street map called STREETWiSE, 84 pages in A5 format, containing detailed maps of greater Phnom Penh combined with an index of streets (by name and number), landmarks, government offices, embassies, banks, airline offices, schools, markets and so on. There's also an 18-page briefing on the history of the city and its street system, tips for beating the traffic jams, transport options, rules of the road and a look at what the city planners have in store for the future. STREETWiSE is available for sale (US$5) at Monument Books on Norodom Boulevard or direct from Pocket Guide (call 023 210 407).
