Phnom Penh, Cambodia

I rented a bike to ride around in Phnom Penh, but it was much easier than it looked! The traffice was crazy, and there are no sidewalks to ride on, so I had to ride in the streets with the motorbikes and obey all traffic laws as if I were a car or motorbike! By the time I returned the bike after two days it was definitely time!

This is the street that runs along the river; sunsets were beautiful and everyone was out walking, eating ice cream, chatting; it was really nice.

Here is a small example of the crazy traffic I'm talking about. There are hardly any stop signs or street lights, so if you want to cross a street, you just have to go for it! If you hesitate you're a goner, so you just have to go and everyone else will adjust to you.

This is a typical Cambodian snack: bugs. Considering that I am not exactly a good friend to insects, these have yet to enter my mouth.
