One More Image from Phnom Penh

Here’s one more indelible image I took away from Phom Penh. I forgot to mention this in my last post.

I saw four women crammed onto the seat of a small scooter careening down the main riverside boulevard–not an unusual sight in itself, since people here in Asia tend to treat scooters as family vehicles.

But this scene was a little different. One of the women was holding aloft an IV bag for her friend, a lady sitting in front of her who had some sort of drip going and looked green about the gills. I suppose they were headed for the hospital. (Or maybe the woman just needed some hydration.)
