9 years ago traffic in the center of Pnom Penh in Cambodia was mainly scooters and motorcycles. The proud owners manage the traffic with excited recklessness. The rule of a maximum of 2 on a motorcycle does not apply here . Helmets are the exception and only for the driver. Some examples…..

My contribution for the topic of the month is a bus shelter. A homeless guy in Vienna has set up his home in the shelter. He sleeps on the bench. His belongings are in the plastic bags. His shoes are neatly set down close to his head.

Note also the text on the commercials. The one above the sleeper “Immer für sie da” (“Always ready to serve you”) is by a Vienna taxi company. I doubt that he will ever be able to use it. The line below the lovely female face outside the shelter reads “Kein “Weiter wie bisher” (“No , “Continue as before”)

Every night, and in the middle of winter, dozens of homeless spend their night in sleeping bags in the streets of Munich.

Especially popular is Sonnenstrasse, where the overhanging parts of the buildings provide shelter for the shop windows of luxury shops and the homeless.
