Things that are not uncommon in Cambodia...

Things that are not uncommon in Cambodia..

  • 5 or 6 (the most we saw was 7) people on a Moto (the most common mode of transportation for cambodians, essentially a cross between a motorcycle and a scooter) 
  • 10+ people in a tuk-tuk (the most common way for tourists to get around, it's a moto towing a small passenger cab)
  • at least 30 people piled into a van
  • Haggling with Tuk-Tuk drivers
  • Monks on motos, on laptops, on cell phones, on facebook
  • Fish foot massages
  • Paying under $6 for a massage
  • Eating insects (mainly tarantulas) sold on the side of the road
  • Eating frog legs at a restaurant
  • Tiny Bananas
  • Food served in coconuts, banana leaves or pineapples
  • Women chopping meat on the sidewalk
  • Raw meat and fish sitting out all day long in the market in 90 degree heat
  • Market stalls where vendors sit on top of their merchandise because there is no space
  • Children waving at large busses
  • Children wearing no pants and/or no shirt, usually no shoes
  • Children selling nicknacks on the street, outside temples, on the Habitat site, anywhere there are tourists
  • Paying 1/10th what you would pay in the states for just about anything
