travel

Yesterday we did a Big Brothers and Sisters training in one of the Provinces. We stayed the night in the village. This morning the four of us stood out on the main road at 8:30am to flag down a bus going back to Phnom Penh.

The first six were presumably full. They zoomed right by. The seventh bus stopped but the ticket guy explained, "We only have three seats left." I though that since we had been waving at buses for an hour we should take whatever was offered. We agreed and started to board the bus. The ticket guy told us to wait for a minute. He then opened the storage box under the bus and brought out the remaining three seats- kids' sized, plastic chairs that we could sit on in the aisle!

It wasn't exactly what I had in mind but I did get a seat.
