Many Cambodian people eat on the street, especially at a time when many people are traveling, so this woman sees no need to close for the holidays when there's money to be made. | |
 |
Cambodians eat a surprising amount of bread, and when it becomes a staple, then the bakeries have to stay open to maintain the supply. | |
 |
Another group of shops that tend to have more stores open during the holidays is the drinks shops. | |
 |
These enterprising women, probably relatives or neighbors, have put up a table to sell last minute gifts and plants on the road that leads past the airport and on out of town. | |
 |
This shop for automobile wheels and tires probably isn't really open. Most Cambodians live in their shops so since he's already there, the owner figures why not appear open while I shoot the breeze with my friend. Someone may actually stop and buy something. | |
 |
Because fruit is such a popular gift and a large part of the Cambodian diet, the fruit shops tend to be open all the time, every day, even twenty-four hours a day. | |
