Can you post a picture? I spent a few months in Phnom Penh not that long ago and would be interested to see it.

Sorry, we had an unexpectedly long layover at the airport after a flight from Yangon, waitng for a flight to Siem Reap (the site of Angkor Wat, as you probably remember.). We used left luggage facilities and took a tuk tuk into the city for a quick look round. I had left my camera in the luggage unfortunately. We will be back in Phnom Penh overnight before beginning the long journey back home to Canada but I doubt we will be able to do any more sightseeing.

I think this is the tower that is referred to. I was there two years ago and thought the same thing. It's kind of funny that L tower was about as complete looking then as it still is now.

It.. it climbed 700 feet?

And continuing right along with the OT material, our taxi drove by the Phnom Penh L Tower sibling tonight which which had a lighting display for the Khmer New Year. The display alternated between streaks of light surrounding the giant numerals 2015 and a full colour rendition of the national flag. I hope L Tower will have at least some lighting feature as a possibility.

Sorry, no photos, Ottawan!

That is weird for a racoon to climb up there, for what reason would it possibly make that effort? strange.

Wow, raccoons branching out of the low-rise market and diversifying into condos now too, I see.

When Ivory On Adelaide was under construction a racoon climbed up onto the crane. They had to stop work for a day until it climbed back down. I have a picture of it somewhere.

That is exactly why I love raccoons! Hahahahahahaha what a cute little guy

Perhaps it too came to believe this crane's continued presence is garbage?
