Phnom Penh, Cambodia: day and nightlife

the royal palace shines in the middle of Phnom Pen by the Mekong river
maimed boys live in the streets
mothers beg in the street
bikes are everywhere
this father follows our tuk tuk and holds her daughter hand to say hello
two monks on a vespa...
this woman sells balloons
this young boy too
this old woman keeps her money in her hands at the flower market
just a few blocks away from nightclubs...
a tattoo master talks to a client
a young boy sleeps in a hammock in the street
close to a wounded tuk tuk driver
and to two women on the pavement
a tuk tuk driver
and this one on his motorcycle
at the market, rotten eggs


and fried tarantulas
offered by this charming girl...
who puts one alive on my shirt
to the surprise of this young monk
