Transportation
• The main source of transportation in Cambodia is a “moto”.
• Many people will walk to their destination.
• It is rare to see a car.
• In America we would call a “moto” a moped.
Cambodians eat with their spoon in their right hand
and their fork in their left hand. They use the fork as a shovel to put food on the
spoon. They only put the spoon in their
mouth.
