It's interesting that they still use French on their official documents in addition to Khmer. The French left a mark that persists even today, including road and street signs. A lot of them are "Rue <name of street>".
Its the same in parts of Africa that I have been, where the French had their colonies. You see it also where the British, Portuguese had theirs as well. Pretty neat really.
I liked seeing it in parts of Cameroon. The coastal cities were predominantly French and had lots of influence from their architecture and civic layouts, from older buildings, to the way the streets and sides were done. Go further inland to some of the more rustic areas and you can see older colonial plantation houses that are British in origin.
Ghana was one of my favourites. It is one of the least corrupt and well organized countries. It was a British colony, and everyone speaks English (or some semblance LOL). Still many expats living there all around.
