A couple more observations of Cambodia. Small children are usually barefoot, and schoolchildren and adults mostly wear thongs. Bare feet are free, and "flip flops" $US 2.00. Those who can afford real shoes seem to wear about two sizes too large and shuffle (perhaps the family all wear the same pair of shoes).
It is astonishing how much it is possible to carry on one motor bike - humans, animals, and products.
We are on the long trek home through Singapore from Phnom Penh to Melbourne.
Nothing special to report today. A long drive from Kep, still raining, an overnight storm which seemed like a hurricane, and now at the Phnom Penh airport.
Got a few photos on the way, nothing special but they show the way of life over here.
The beach at Kep with the tide out, locals looking for seafood etc.
Saturday morning at the local shopping centre
Wet and dreary at this roadside stop
Even the local market continues in the rain.
If it won't fit inside or on the roof, just tie it on the back !
A local taxi taking women to the market.
Hard to see but this guy had at least 20 chickens alive, upside down tied to the back. On his mobile he was trying to sell them anyway he could.
Looks like a big night for this guy, 8 dozen on the back and another dozen wine bottles in between his legs!
A small family off to the city centre for a Saturday outing. Airport in the background.
