At Dusk

Despite the fact that the dust and the gas emission will probably kill my lungs, for the vibrance and energy that I feel from the rush hour here is quite something. There's something oddly soothing watching women driving one handed with big bags of groceries in the other and small children clinging on their parents or other siblings for dear life on the back of a motorcycle. It's certainly much better than the overly congested trains in Tokyo full of of inebriated, crass, tepid people squished in together like a can of sardines.

夕暮れ時のシェムリアップ。通勤ラッシュは場所を問わず苦手だけど、エネルギーと活気で道が溢れていてなんとなく落ち着くというか懐かしく感じるというか不思議な感覚。さてさて、市場に立ち寄って野菜を買わねば。
