A little romp in an alleyway

A couple of days ago, three of us decided to go take some shots on an old colonial hotel near the National Post Office. Featured in the movie City of Ghosts, it is currently closed to the public. We were able to find out where the owner lived and knocked on their gate to see if we could get permission to take some photographs. Unfortunately, the only person we could talk to was a guy in a KFC shirt who demanded 30 dollars for entry. Not what we expected. So we headed to a crumbling colonial building on the corner of 108 and Norodom.

The building on 108 was actually built around and had a thriving alleyway filled with people playing a game very similar to BINGO.
