It's incredible what you can fit on the back of a moto. These are small loads!
Bicycles too!

The Cambodian People's Party is the current party in power in Cambodia. It's election year so the campaigning is in full swing. The CPP, which is extremely corrupt and robbing Cambodians of every opportunity to leave the past behind and better their lives, will go to outlying villages and hand out T-shirts or rice to get support and to have their posters hung. We even saw a bit on the news where the CPP was in a village handing out 1000riel notes to the villagers. Most people are very quiet about supporting opposition parties, as politics are quite literally a deadly game here. Already several opposition party members have been killed, as well as one Cambodian journalist who wrote a piece giving his opinion on each party. Sam Rainsy is one of the leading opposition party members and many people's hope for Cambodia's future, and his wife recently gave an interview calling the current administration corrupt and broken, outright calling them liars. The piece was published in English, and many of us hope it stays that way, for her safety. So anyway, these signs are all over the place right now. The election is end of July, and I can already predict the outcome-- the current PM Hun Sen and his party take the victory-- no matter what the ballots say. Same same...
