A New Home in Noisy Phnom Penh (93x4)

Air date: Jun 27, 2016

Recently robbed in an overcrowded residential building, American John Munger must quickly find a new home in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. With help from his girlfriend Mai and real estate agent David Murphy, John looks at apartments in three of Phnom Penh's market districts. The sounds of construction and the bustling crowds disguise the unique apartments several stories above the street. Munger has recently taken a cut in pay so budget is a prime concern. Location becomes a conflict with his girlfriend Mai who wants to find a place near her family's home. John wants to be close to work. But layout and interior features can also be a challenge in a market where kitchens don't have ovens, the refrigerator is in the living room and an unexpected gadget sits next to the washing machine.
