There’s a boy waiting to cross the road.

Driving in Phnom Penh requires all your five senses and ESP. You’ll never predict what’s going to happen. Other vehicles come at you in all directions possible and pedestrians just jump right in front of you.

This boy crossed the road only a few metres away from an oncoming Land Cruiser. Luckily, the driver managed to step on the break just in the nick of time. From where I stood I saw the driver, an expat, raised his hands in exasperation. Ahhh, the what ifs.

One must have the steel of nerves to drive in this country.
