That's a Bit Rubbish

Chuck it in a plastic bag and pile it up in the street. That's what most Cambodians do with their rubbish. What is not scavenged is taken away, eventually, by council workers.

With the heat comes the flies, though and it is unsightly. Buying a plastic bin and placing it on the road for the neigbours and us to use seemed the simple solution.

So we did. And it was gone in less than two hours. Two hours!

Stolen? Maybe.

Considered fair game and not wanted because it was out on the street? Probably; the bin cost just $7 but if who ever took it gets a fiver for it, that's two days wages.
