If anybody has seen Bangkok traffic, they'd flip about me driving a motorcycle here. But then again, Phnom Penh is worse! Worse than China even!
In my travels, I always wish that my friends and family could be with me to witness the things that awe and amaze me. Telling stories and showing pictures just doesn't cut it. So...braving the streets of Phnom Penh wasn't enough for me...I had to hold my camera in my left hand at the same time to bring your eyes there! You all better appreciate my life-risking behaviors, I did it for you'all!
Unfortunately this vid doesn't show the crazy drivers. My dad always taught me how to turn. Generally I turn just like everyone else does in the States...except I turn at an even more perpendicular angle than most. My dad always demanded a strict 90 degree angle. He'd go crazy in Cambodia. They turn so early that they're literally driving on the wrong side of the road, making the shape of their turn more like the left side of a "U" instead of an "L".
I saw Tuol Sleng and the Killing Fields. Tuol Sleng was the interrogation camp where prisonerrs were kept before being slaughtered at the Fields.
Sorry I was lazy to rotate the pictures. There's a picture and a movie of 'fire rotators' or whatever they're called. I tried it myself, and escapted unsinged!
At Sihanoukville.
Memorial to the victims.
Driving on my moto to the entrance of the Killing Fields.
My rented moto blew a tire. It cost less than a dollar to fix it.
