"Phnom Penh is rapidly changing. Grab came, FoodPanda came, Aeon came, ABA is evolving, big condos are everywhere," a Facebook post about the event said.

"Everything is getting more convenient, that is super welcomed! But at the same time, we are losing something. The small conversation or interaction with TukTuk drivers, the small chit chat at old small stores, greens, ponds, lakes, the greetings with neighbours, small negotiations with street food sellers."
