I need to find an image of a family and couple to use in a project that raises awareness about domestic violence. Is there any way you would be willing to assist me with this? Do you have any photos? Could you help me find one? I can pay you for the right image. Thanks/ Hi, I found your blog randomly searching for photos of cambodian families online.

A few years ago, I went to visit Cambodia (family) for the first time with my mother, and I saw nothing but moto bikes on the streets of Phnom Phen. It was worst than some cities here in the states, I couldnt cross the street without running, ducking and dodging the bikers. But yes none had a helmet on, and with the speed that they're going, they need to be wearing helmets (drivers and passengers). I saw a moto bike with more than 3 people on there and the women was holding their babies in their hands just sitting at the back relaxing..i didn't get used to sitting on the moto bike until almost the day i had to come back home. But I hope with new laws, and maybe in the future, stricter police enforced control as well that the country can grow and prosper from what it was before with the war torn buildings and community.
