Road to Angkor Part 2,Siem Reap, Cambodia

Cycling to Angkor Wat gave me the wonderful opportunity of observing the Cambodian way of life, Here are some snapshots. I'd stop riding the moment I spotted anything interesting.




A no-frills barber shop.I almost wanted to have the experience.


A "shopping mall" by the dirt road. Dust is part and parcel of the shopping experience so don't fret.


A Siem Reap High School.


A busy Cambodian village outside town. Small businesses have mushroomed along the roadsides. A slice of Cambodian life not seen by those on packaged tours. No problem for me to pretend I was a Cambodian as I looked just as scruffy.

  1. That makeshift no-frills barber shop look interesting. The blades and tools....are they sterilized?
