Daily Life in Cambodia – Page 21 – Welcome to Cambodia, and…..

What’s Your Head Worth?

A little sidewalk sale in Phnom Penh: $10 motorcycle helmets. How much protection you think they will give you in an accident?

Tastes Good….

“I think he likes it….”

Morning in a wet market

It’s early morning at a wet market in Phnom Penh, pedestrians and motrocycles all mixed together in the narrow lanes.

Going for a ride….

He doesn’t look too concerned but this dog is in a somewhat precarious position. He doesn’t have anywhere to anchor his hind legs and starts sliding around every time the woman starts up.

Atrocity

Can you imagine such an atrocious sign at an intersection? This is what happens when you have no zoning and/or the inspectors are on the take and there is no enforcement.

What’s Cambodia Like #4?

I don’t intend to dwell only on the negative aspects of life and culture in Cambodia but there are so many of them. They certainly can’t be ignored in daily life.

It seems almost every day, literally, there is another story of some government official or military officer or village chief arrested for fraud, selling government land, appropriating land of indigenous peoples, cutting protected forests–you name it.

What’s Cambodia Like #3?

CITA’s proposal notes that the history of the Khmer Rouge regime is not taught in the high school curriculum, along with other important facts that are also omitted. This is what Cambodia children grow up with, a lack of knowledge of even their own country and culture.

Who dat?

Who is that babe peeking out from behind the old inner tubes while the proprietor of this “service station” takes a nap?

A close family….

Children growing up in Cambodia experience a certain closeness to their parents not found in many cultures

What’s Cambodia Like?

People and cattle are routinely killed by lightning every year in Cambodia. That is about one person every five or six days. And thousands of home are destroyed by the thunderstorms. You don’t see numbers like that in more developed countries.
