Today, 9th of November, Cambodia’s celebrating the date when they finally achieved independence from France in 1953, they were under them for 90 long years! They are celebrating it with passion and pride, all major street around town was surrounded by their Cambodian flag and Independence Monument is in its best!

The Independence Monument (Vimean Ekareach) was inaugurated in November 9, 1962 to celebrate their independence from foreign rule. Renowned Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann was the architect of the monument. Also serves as a monument to Cambodian’s war dead.
