Cambodia was next. It was just the quickest way to get a Vietnamese visa, as I had been there a couple years ago. Still much, much poorer and less organized than Thailand, but noticeable improvements since I was there last. Traffic lights now, lots of new construction. Traffic starting to pickup, mostly motorcycles, either old Hondas or new Daelims. Drive on the right.

This is actually a one way street, the drivers are going
mostly one-way. No helmet or gear, but the traffic is going pretty slow. The backpack fit in the front of my drivers ancient Honda step-through.
Day trip with Quads into the countryside out of Phnom Penh, Cambodia.At the start, I'm fairly clean at this point.
Sugar cane juice, in the customary plastic bag.
Stopping in a village, all the kids came out from school to see what was going on.
The other four people in the group were all from Edmonton, by some strange chance.
Lots of kids in the villages we drove through, and they thought we were the greatest thing ever. A whole day of being a rock star.
Other then waving at kids and yelling 'Hello' back at them all day we saw sort of a zoo/game preserve.
We were cautioned to stay back from the wire, as with only a single layer of fencing the tigers have figured out extended claws can grab a nice chunk of visitor. The pelican thing warned us itself with its big nasty beak.
Also some Khmer ruins.
For lunch, nice baguettes, and frogs with their stomachs stuffed with curry.
And a coke!
Our Chinese-made quads held together.
And we made it back, at the end of a long day.
