Traffic here in Cambodia is crazy. I need to express my concern and amazement that I am still alive. There is a yellow line painted in the center and white lines dividing each side of the street, but Khmer people ignore the lines completely. There is a magically middle third lane that both directions of traffic can use at any time. The rule of the road is smaller vechiles give way to larger things which is fine when everyone is going straight, but if you are turning.... anything goes. My motorcycle driver needed to cross a major roadway so he just slowly inches forward ( infront of cars, bikes, trucks). The other vechiles that have the right of way sort of go around or stop (usually). And when making a left hand turn, often motorcycles drive on the wrong side of the road until there is less traffic coming on the onward direction. I don't know if this makes any sense.... I am going to try to film some of it because dude.... all I can do is hold on for dear life and hope the driver knows what he is doing.

I have another rant too. I would like to think I am a tough brave solo traveller, but when it is dark... and I am by myself I am a chicken. Yesterday I changed guesthouse from lakeside to riverside (only a 10mins moto ride, 30-40min walk) and I had to return to the lakeside to get my passport with my vietnam visa so i walked over there from memory ( i didn't open my map once, i was so proud because I had only taken a moto once between the places), but by 6pm when I got my visa the sun had set. I started walking but by the time I got to the first busy road it was completely dark... I gave up and took a moto... its funny I could have just taken a moto from the travel agent place for the same price... but no I wanted to walk.

Ok I am done.

Off to vietnam maybe I will be able to see Jazz and dave again.
