Transportation in Cambodia

For the first couple months of my time in Cambodia, I mainly got around by car or tuk tuk (pictured below)...

It looks like a small motorcycle with a cart on the back because that is EXACTLY what it is. Brittany and I felt like we became professional hagglers when it came to price. The drivers would always start at some ridiculous amount and we would laugh at them and tell them they were crazy...in a very polite, culturally accepted way. We would then work our way to a reasonable amount and hop in.

The second half of the trip, we got brave and began riding the motorcycles around town (and even sometimes on slightly longer trips). There were a few particular people that I would trust with my life on the moto...

And the helmets did nothing to help out the hair situation...

Remember those pictures I promised...

I realize I have been back in the states for something like 6 weeks and have yet to follow through with my promise to post pictures from Cambodia...

Well, here you go, my friend...


It was almost guaranteed that we would be getting paint on lots of other things besides the walls...this is Phally (pronounced Paulee) and I during our first painting service project that we took the class on...and Titi's eye in the background


Vuth and Neth (pronounced Whut and Night) with me at the airport the day I left Cambodia...the smiles are deceptive...


The Harvester's class on the top of a mountain. They thought it would be "fun" to climb up more than 800 steps. The view was beautiful, but my legs were a little shaky by the end of it all.

We fed over 150 kids in the province after leading games and songs and Bible stories

Preparing food for lunch with Pisay (pronounced Pee-sigh). I loved to help and wish that I had mastered a couple of the recipes to make here in the states. I love Cambodian food!
