This is a scenario that is not uncommon in Cambodia: a seamstress who sets up a food and drink service in front of her tailor shop to serve the morning rush-hour crowd going past her on a major street. The International Labor Organization estimates that 84% of Cambodia’s economy is this informal work, although in this case the woman’s tailor shop might actually be registered with the government although that is certainly not a given.
