A random scene from the streets of Phnom Penh:

APAD 239: The countryside Pajero

One quiet weekend on a farm just outside of Phnom Penh, the stillness of the afternoon was broken by the familiar chug-a-chug-chug sound coming from this vehicle…

It is fondly called the “Pajero” of the rural villages. It transports products and carries people from the innermost part of the village to the town proper where the town market is. It is a great alternative to moto-dops (moto-taxis) most especially during the rainy season.

The moto-dops (motorcycle taxis) is still the king of the road in rural Cambodia. You want tuktuk, ser, madam? Hop on in. Ahh, you have cargo? At panyaha {no problem}. We make room for you and your cargo 🙂

Dangerous? Yes. But that’s just how the people cope with the lack of a safer (and cheaper) mode of transportation.

I was out today so I’m late in posting this. I took the tuk-tuk (local motorised rickshaw) to go home. It was nearly 5pm, the sun was low. As its rays hit the trees that lined Monivong Boulevard, it made the leaves look golden yellow.

The traffic was moderate, but still very chaotic. We were following this vehicle with lots of cargo. I noticed the yellow string right away contrasting sharply against the black plastic packaging.
