On the way to Kampong Thom from Siem Reap we see alot of these poor chickens getting a free ride upside down on their way to be eaten in someone's home!
The round thing on top is called a poke in English. I don't know what it is in Cambodian. You often see the poke on the back of a moto with a couple of pigs in it. Hence the term, A Pig in a Poke comes to life in Cambodia!
As we traveled around Cambodia from the 18th to the 22nd, we sometimes saw some interesting sites and also some beautiful scenery. The pigs were on the road on the way home from our last stop of Kampong Cham. The driver and the one guarding them, looked over and smiled. He took off his helmet, but put it back on when he gave permission for me to take the picture. I hold up the camera, and point to the pigs and him, then the camera, and he nodded his permission.
The one at the top I believe is in Vietnam. It looks like the road to the airport in Hanoi. But I'm not really sure. On the road from Battambang we saw this group of people on back of the truck. The road from Kampong Thom to Kampong Cham is not really crowded and it is beautiful. For the last part of the ride you drive through a huge rubber plantation. I can't believe the bottom pictures almost look panoramic. I'm quite pleased with myself because that was pure accident. I am grateful you can see what I saw from the car window!
