Driving laws and signs totally ignored , are not aware even on which side of the street to drive( motivate) themselves , most sidewalks etc are plugged with them , you endanger your life to walk in the street . Housing for another 150,000 residents , so add about 5,000 more vehicles and there will be total mayhem . My wife and i are seriously considering moving out of here before that happens , tourists on the internet advising to give this city a miss , they refer to it these days as the 'Wild West' using motos instead of 6 shooters to run the unwary down .Was a good place to live when i first came here , se-la-vie !! Angor Wat , with all the millions spent by tourist , bumpy , pot holed dirt roads to drive on , outside of town the poor have swollen , living in hovels and poluting everything with thier garbage , still living in the jungle .
