Phnom Penh is a pretty big city. But it feels a bit small too.
This was our very first experience with tuk-tuks. And the drivers who are constantly touting their wares. Even if I say 'no thank you' to 3 dudes in a row, the fourth will always still ask if I need a tuk-tuk.
The Royal Palace was partially closed because the king of Cambodia died in the middle of October. People are able to go visit his remains and pay their respects for 3 months. They were also building a multi-storey pyre for him as well.
ATMs are housed in little huts. It's kind of nice because usually they were air-conditioned. And sometimes had little geckos in them!
There were many street vendors selling all manner of things. This lady is selling what look like shells. They clearly have some sort of protein inside and are served with chilli sauce. Others were selling fried and seasoned cockroaches, large spiders, and snakes.
Everything seems a little not quite legit. Even the gas station looks a little dodgy.
And copyright doesn't seem to be a thing. Here's TJ and a 'Hooters' restaurant.
I'm not sure what kind of safety standards there are either. This loaded up truck seems very unsafe to me.
If you fancy getting your hair cut all you have to do is walk to the sidewalk across the street for a bit of snip!
When we were touring the Killing Fields someone took my shoes and left their shoes in place. They looked the same but did not fit at all. I had to go buy new sandals and the only ones that I could find were pretty Bogan-y. But the strawberries and cherries are pretty cute.
So cool!
