Disability Access
Cambodia is a challenging place for people with disabilities. There are no codes for equip-
ping buildings for handicapped access and even the simplest task - such as getting across
town - can be a major challenge. Getting into a tuktuk requires a big step up (or down),
most buildings don't have elevators (we climb 47 steps to our apartment), and there are
no revolving doors or ramps in public buildings. Even the sidewalks possess a challenge -
