Battambang now and then - transportation

This was taken in one of my early trips from Battambang to Siem Reap. My friend Jennifer was with me. This was also the beginning of my career as a tour guide. I remember the whole countryside was covered with dust and people had to close their face while cycling. The journey in the taxi was like riding a horse because the road was really bad. Pic taken in Feb 2005

If you look carefully, you can see that the background was bare and dusty.

Ti-Jin came and visited us in December 2009

December 2005, Lay Hua and Swea Yen came for Prema's graduation.

In the year 2006, the coal sellers used donkeys to delivered their coals but now you don't see the donkey anymore. they have upgraded their transportation to motorbike.
