More crazy things on the road

Here are some more of the funny things on the road in Cambodia.

Look carefully at/through this car. It is fully air conditioned. If you look carefully you can see the boy's foot sticking out the front door.




Finally a good photo of a person on a motorbike holding their IV drip. Drove right past us as we were having lunch.



This is the main road between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. It takes about 6-8 hours to travel 350km.



People don't have tow ropes here, so they chop a tree down and tie it between cars to tow it along.



Google maps is starting to do street view in Siem Reap.



When the car is full of people (sometimes 9 or so in a sedan) there is always room for people to sit in the boot.



Taking some roofing iron home.



There is a van under these baskets.

Street art in Thailand

Nicole and Stan went on a short visit to Thailand where we enjoyed all the trappings of modern life for a few days. We had air conditioning. We watched a movie in a proper cinema. We went to shopping centers. It was all very nice, but it was also nice to get back to our more primitive life in Siem Reap.

While we were in Thailand, we stumbled across a street art exhibition. These were made up of drawings that would come to life if you stood in a specific spot and could see the painting from the right perspective. To show this, we have tried to take the photos of the street art from different perspectives so you can compare them. The drawings were made with plastic and passers by were encouraged to stand in the drawings.
