Traveling 4-24-11

Traveling around Phom Penh is not at all like driving around in America. The people are crazy on the roads with their tuk-tuks and motos. Unlike your cars and buses. There is a line to separate the roads from one another but they honestly don't follow this line. If their destination is on the right side and their on the left they'll dive right into traffic dodging everything. A bit nerve racking but almost like an amusement park ride. Also, to drive anything you just have to be 18. When you turn 18 you are allowed by the law to do anything drink, smoke, drive, etc... It is so different and doesn't sound that safe but probably even more. Seeing as the roads are insane the drivers have their eyes wide open and aware of every little thing. So to cross or to let your kids play near the sides of the road is ok.There are rarely any accidents especially no one getting hit by a car.Had so much fun with just hanging out and can't wait to go to the orphanage tomorrow.
