In Cambodia, there really isn't a taxi service, so you just take a car. Our Saturday started out by going to the ACODO farm. They have a farm where they plan to plant food and have a fish pond to help provide food for the children. And, they need it! When I see how much they have to eat, I am surprised they are as healthy as they are! The farm has just been started, so they are just clearing the land. They have planted some banana trees. They put in a water tank, but still need a pump for it. They have made a fish pond. I hope they can develop they land so they get enough produce to benefit them. The farm was 1 1/2 hours from town. So, how did we get back you say? In Cambodia, it is quite normal to stand on the side of the road and flag a car to hitch a ride. We did not do this alone, and it was not our idea. It's just the way transportation is done in this country. The person that picked us up already had a full car. We just squashed in, and someone shared a seat with the driver. I managed to find a seat belt (a rare finding in Cambodia) and put it on. Safe and sound, I made it back to my hotel in one piece.
