How Many Cambodians Does It Take...?

How Many Cambodians Does It Take...?

The roads in Cambodia are fucked up beyond belief, but it seems they have no idea how to fix them. These guys are busily digging new potholes in the main street, which they will then fill in with a mixture of broken glass and nails.

I'm kidding, of course, but today I actually saw a guy do just that. I was walking down a side street on the way to the bank when I came upon a guy with a pickup truck shoveling a massive pile of broken tile and bricks onto the middle of the street. Two of his friends were raking it into a nice, unsmooth surface which I expect we'll be driving over for the rest of our time here.
