Wedding invitations

If you need your wedding invitation printed, just go to the nearest pagoda and there will be a good selection of shops that will print your invitations. I know their overhead is low but do they ever have any business. I have only seen people in the shops talking to each other, never any customers. 

 

Haircut

In my neighbor hood there are several barber shops. They are air conditioned sort of. This one is closed.

You could call these drive-in. Some have covers and some do not.

Laundry

I take my cloths to a laundry close to home. As I ride around, I see other laundries. They are all similar, they wash cloths by hand and hang them out to dry. Then they iron them with the flatiron.

Below is another large laundry.

This is a home laundry

If you only have a little too dry, you can use a tree or just put it on the ground. 

Frog legs

Walking around my neighborhood is very interesting. After seeing what looked like a Dutch parking lot, I came across frog legs in a wicker tray on top of two plastic stools. I assumed that someone in one of the many phone shops was selling the legs. 

Dutch look

I walked from my apartment toward the central market, on the way I passed a large modern shopping center. Looking at the motos lined up it made me think of the lines of bicycles in the Netherlands. 

Setting up on the sidewalk

Many vendors do not have a permanent shop; they set up on the sidewalk. Here are photos of two restaurants and a shoe shop setting up for the evening on a busy Phnom Penh street. There are many other businesses that use the sidewalk as their business space. A later post will be on barbershops that set up on the sidewalk.

 

Below you can see a family moving their table to their spot on the street.
