So all the ladies in Phnom Penh ride side-saddle on the mopeds. And they also wear elbow length gloves to protect their skin from sun damage and ageing, along with the visor down on their helmets.Very glamorous really.
Today at lunchtime I had a few errands to run, to the pharmacy and to the shoe-maker. When I went to get on the moped I realsied that I was wearing a skirt and would have to go side saddle, rather than hitching it up. So I did it. It's quite tough, strong stomach muscles are required to prevent wobbling and falling off. It was great fun! Except that the shoes I wanted the cobbler to make for me were copies of a pair of Fendi E800 heels, which they said they could not do. What kind of shoemakers are they?!
