Asia Trip Part 3: Phnom Penh, Cambodia


A tuk-tuk: a taxi pulled by motorbike. This is a common means of travel
around the city and not a bad ride!


The motorbike; the most common means of transportation.
We saw as many as 5, yes FIVE people on a motorbike at a time!
Beware, however; motorbike drivers help to make the traffic chaotic
and dangerous, and rarely do they wear helmets!


A nearby market for fruit, vegetables, herbs, meat, fish, desserts, toys...
you name it.


Three older ladies at the entrance to the market, all selling ingredients
for "betel nut", which is a popular tobacco-like thing that one chews
and spits juice from. It stains the teeth and lips quite red after years of use!
