Morning traffic in Battambang

Sister Spencer tries to take a walk between 5:30 and 6:30 every morning. It is the coolest time of day, perhaps in more ways than one.  She will always see interesting things and sometimes even gets a picture or two.

 If you look closely at this picture, you will see that passenger on the moto is holding a chicken on the left side.

Even tough it is early, there is already a lot of traffic. None of the intersections have any traffic control devices so it is a free-for-all with the larger vehicles apparently having the right of way.  Once you drive in Cambodia awhile you begin to sense the rhythm of the traffic and you begin to recognize some kind of order.  The great majority of the vehicles in Cambodia are either bicycles or small motorbikes/motorcycles called motos. 

 Here is a dad taking his son to school with a little one coming along. Children are often sitting or standing on the front of the motos just behind the handlebars.  We have seen as many as six on a moto.

This cute little boy sandwiched between the women is waving at me. Some women wear pajamas all day. (I wonder if they come with skirts so I could wear some pjs with my missionary tag.)

 The river is more serene with a single ferry.
