Straight ahead – another Phnom Penh power pole – cables everywhere, and some mater boxes hanging off it. The power grid was very unreliable post-Khmer Rough, but is now generally quite good, until there’s a storm and the mass of cables makes contact – then there is a blackout for a few hours. No idea how they find where the short is. Note also they don’t actually use the insulators, just hang wires over the arms that hold them.
Liquid and Equinox – two bars across the street that go to all hours.
Looking right – to the base is the garden that surrounds a restaurant with a Balinese hut style atmosphere, and the red thing sticking up just to the right of the 3 palms and in the distance is the top of the independence monument.
Tuk tuks waiting and a processing of peanut-carrying ladies.
Two-basket street vendor – they have a pole with a suspended basket on each end – in this case some bowls and ingredients in the back and more ingredients and possibly a stove in the front. They set up on the side of the road and start cooking if you place an order.
Coconut juice seller – cuts the top off and sticks a straw in for you.
