Playing around with all that sliders in Adobe Lightroom turned some shots presentable that were formerly not properly exposed and that I didn’t wanted to put online. Now here’s some (late) impressions from the streets of Cambodia.

Yesterday I hired a tuk-tuk to have a look at same places near Battambang. I went with an ‘independent’ driver who was recommended to me by the French expats. Independent means that he’s working in the streets like you would expect it and doesn’t hang out in front of the tourist hotels hoping for big money. From what the guy told me he used to run into trouble with the ‘hotel drivers’ as they followed him and beat him up after he ‘stole’ one of their customers.

My guest house organized a bus ticket to Battambang for me and with the usual slight delay I was picked up and transported to the main bus station this morning. The place is basically a big hall with a couple of buses and merchants trying to sell fruit, bread and other stuff. Quite similar to Thailand just the signs are in Khmer instead of Thai script. Our driver made extensive use of the horn, getting everything on two wheels to take flight on the street shoulders.
