Photos taken from my ride out on the tuk-tuk

Quiz time:
It is time to guess how many packets of noodles & cake one can fit in a bus...

and what fruit is this?
Not a great picture but this was taken from a moving Tuk Tuk - on the other side of the Mekong from Kampong Cham the land is flooded for a few miles in land. This is one of the floating fishing rafts that they make and live on in the wet season - off the front they have these great big fishing nets that go in and catch all the fish - I will try and get some better pictures as they are amazing constructions.
View of Kampong Cham from the bridge - I live in the long white building to the right of the picture, just before the land drops back a bit. No high rises in Kampong Cham.

Typical roadside stall - shrine to the right of the photo - to ward off evil spirits and to bring good fortune to the place, coconuts for sale along with some other food which you can just take away in a banana leaf. In the background you can see the arches of the net from another fishing boat.
