Passsing Through Phnom Penh
We had three meetings yesterday, which kept us zipping through Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh. Zipping is perhaps an exaggeration, since we traveled in an SUV, complete with five people and a load of camera equipment.
But after hours my traveling companion, Misty, and I zipped out to a restaurant 15 minutes away to meet a work colleague. We were told to get Pass App, and so we did. Pass App is Uber for tuk-tuks, the three-wheeled mini-taxis that do plenty of zipping themselves.
Slightly less terrifying than a motorcycle taxi, a tuk-tuk puts a modicum of metal between the passenger and the whirl of traffic. So I hung on and enjoyed the ride as we zoomed through the balmy night to a jewel of a Cambodian fusion restaurant.
Today we shove off for the provinces, where internet connectivity may be iffy and posting may be difficult. But for now, here I am, on the other side of the world, passing through Phnom Penh with Pass App.
