I traveled 934 miles this week: 188 miles from Kuala Terengganu to Kuala Lumpur, and another 746 miles from Kuala Lumpur to Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Over the course of my journey I have traveled 11,609 miles. Breaking that figure down, I have traveled 8,469 miles from Rhode Island to the Philippines, 2,206 from the Philippines to Kuala Terengganu and 934 miles during my time in Cambodia.
This week I left my bike back at the Universiti and tried other forms of transit, including car, plane and tuk-tuk. My favorite mode of transportation was the tuk-tuk. A modified motorcycle with carriage attachment, the tuk-tuk acts as a sort of open-air cab. Drivers operate independently or with friends and modify their tuk-tuks according to their tastes, resulting in some very ornate and colorful coaches. After arriving at your destination, you may part ways with your driver or request to meet him later, in which case the driver will either return at the specified time or hitch up a hammock in his cab and rest until your return.
