Thanks, Aunt Denise, for reminding me to explain what a tuk-tuk is! Basically, a tuk-tuk is what we would call a moped pulling a cart with a cover over it. By our standards, they hold 2-4 people, but we've seen as many as 9 Cambodians piled into them! They are used the same way we'd use a taxi at home. They are relatively expensive, as compared to everything else. A ride across town and back costs about $5. Quite a lot in a country where a mid-range professional salary is about $250/month!
Today, we had some errands to run for TG, so we were out and about with our driver Polo. Most of these shots are from today, with a couple from earlier in the week.
Market/carnival? Note the ferris wheel in the background
Really young kids, floating on a tire, fishing for who knows what in the open sewer
This building is an infamous brothel with a terrible history
Cambodian barbershop. They use shoepolish to hide grey hair!
