a cambodian gas station

one of the ways peace corps volunteers attempt to rationalize their new life in a new land is to seek out ways to normalize what they see every day.  typically, i know i see out a way to explain away a variety of amenities i'm used to having and assign said amenity's role to another existing item we encounter in our new country.

in that spirit, please enjoy a minute gazing upon cambodia's version of a gas station.

item one: the gasoline and specialty snacks:

the gasoline is inside those old glass pepsi bottles.

 item two: your cooler full of refreshing drinks:

The orange cooler: the sign to everyone you have semi-cold beer, coca-cola, energy drinks, some fanta and maybe a something special like apple juice.
