THE REAL PHNOM PENH

This morning was a mixture of architecture, history and transport. We had an architectural tour of Phnom Penh by cyclo including the back streets and laneways gaining a real insight into how the locals live. Fascinating.

No longer used churches and temples become home for numerous families.

Check out the Workplace health and Safety certified overhead wires beside and below.

It’s Good Friday but I don’t think that’s why the monks were receiving offerings from the locals.

Contrasting forms of transport.Family transport. No Helmets. No baby seats. And Mom has to ride one handed so she can hold on to the baby.

Anybody want to buy a broom or some fuel?

Motoring here is a spectator sport – great fun to watch but you wouldn’t want to participate.

Wedding day tomorrow. Should be fun.
