The only one in Cambodia

Peter Chhun, our guide for this trip, pulls up the sidewalk looking like an Asian Peter Fonda. A red 'do-rag atop his head and a scarf tied around his neck. In typical Cambodian style, he parks his motorcycle at the corner near a restaurant where we're eating. Not near the corner, on it. Any open space is a parking space in Phnom Penh.

While most Cambodians get around on scooters and small bikes, Chhun rolls up on his Harley Davidson Sportster 1200.

“It's the only one in the country,” Chhun says with a laugh, or at least it was when he brought it over from the U.S.

Peter Chhun, the Executive Director of Hearts without Boundries, arrives at lunch on his Harley Sportster. Chhun, who has a house, wife and a daughter in Cambodia, bought it in the States and shipped it to his native land. He claims it is the only one in the country.
