How Cambodians "roll"



Vyda took this picture out of our motorbike pulled carriage (Word on the street is one advantage of motorbike pulled carriages over horse pulled ones is you don't turn into a pumpkin if you stay out past 12:00). It wasn't a bad way to tour the city, as it turned out. And $10 for five hours is hard to beat. I wish Vyda could've gotten a shot that does justice to what rush hour looks like when the street is convoluted with motor bikes, cars, carriages, bicycle powered carts, and even the occasional 'beast of burden,' which included one elephant sighting. Seeing an elephant in person must be what it's like to see Shag in person: blown away by how t.v. doesn't accurately convey the actual hugeness.
