julietSome bits and pieces I have observed:
* When stopped at a local market/restaurant today (on bus journey), I was offered spiders to eat. Cooked ones. Ewwwwwwww.
* Apparently foreigners on bikes are highly entertaining. Many people say hello as they pass me, and/or giggle.
* They have some truly impressive potholes.
* You can apparently fit up to 4 people on a moped, with bags as well.
* Lots of little shrines etc by the road, in people's gardens/fields, and so on. (Buddhist, I assume, as that's the majority religion - and they look Buddhist.)
* Oh yes: I saw monkeys by Angkor Wat today! (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dogrando & marnameow, no, I am not bringing any home, so hush.).
* Lots of hand-cultivation of fields as the bus went through the countryside today. And much of the place is under water at the moment. Houses are all on stilts (well: what looks like the living area, with walls, is on the first floor; underneath is open and looks like it's for animals), and most of them are wood.
Bother, I'm sure there was more stuff, but I am tired and have forgotten.
