Cambodia wrap-up

- when using transport in Cambodia steer clear of the minibuses. In a car with 10 seats at least 15 people "have space". But this sounds easier than it actually is. When travelling from Koh Kong we asked like 7 times if it we will get a big bus...aaaaaand we got a minibus. And there is just nothing you can do ;)

- they theoretically drive on the right side but that is even more just a guideline than in the countries we visited before. Wanna turn left and you can't find a whole in the traffic to get to the right side of through road? No worries, just drive on the left side for a while until a hole opens up. Also, the rules for the right of way we technically the same as in non-UK Europe. But de facto it is the right of the stronger vehicle...or whoever makes it into the junction first.

- wearing a full pyjama on the street for women in the morning and evening is something usual

- karaoke-style videos in the bus is a thing. But nobody sings...

- there is landscape to be seen on bus rides between cities! Whereas in other countries along the roads it looks like the whole country is "urban" sprawl, there are green areas with nothing else to be watched from the bus which makes the rides somewhat more enjoyable if it weren't for the stuff described above

- having a wedding? Just put up a big tent on the street where you can seat your guests

- grilled spiders and snakes are not so common, opposite to white larvae sold as peanuts

- the whole covering up on motorbikes for women is not happening here

- this is dragonfly country!!

- overall impression: we really, really enjoyed our time here!Leer más
