That time I came to a fork in the road, and someone else choose the track most travelled. I felt obliged to choose the other one.
The area in and around Angkor Park and Siem Reap are excellent for off road biking and exploration. It is a healthy and green way to enjoy the marvels of the Khmer Empire, its origin and its later development.
Finding things not seen
I was on my way to find a couple of more secretive temples and old sites. I was trying to do that by a direct route via Bayon and Angkor Thom and north out of the Grand circle. This trip took me into dirt tracks not travelled by many.
Among things I did find were stuff like a river not supposed to be there. Some bridge and road maintenance. And a bunch of locals tending to rice fields, surprised by the pink skin visitor. But politely and smiling returning greetings of hello and well wishes for a good day.
As Khmer so often do.
It is, as always, important to respect the local’s privacy and integrity. Acting as a respectful, polite and responsible good guest in their home area are of the outmost importance. And of course, be a sensible traveller leaving only bike tracks and footprints and take only photos. Including not biking or walking into any private area or destroying any crop.

Wir sind leider nicht an dem Punkt angekommen, wo wir die Potentiale von #Dezentralität wirklich denken wollen, daraus müsste ein Bemühen, viel stärkere Anknüpfungspunkte und #Kompatibilität zu ermöglichen, wachsen. Aktuell sind wir noch dabei, innerhalb der eigenen Systeme zu agieren. #Bluesky interessiert sich für sich selbst, #Mastodon ebenso. Auch die Diskussion „#X ist doof, kommt da weg“ ist keine technische, sondern eine moralische. (1/2)

Interesting how many followers I've amassed on Bluesky when I don't even have an account there! These are all courtesy of the Bridgy Fed bridge (details at https://fed.brid.gy/). Though I assume those 588 followers are included within my 2,680 followers here at Mastodon?

@danabra.mov There are unbridged interactions I cannot follow up with, e.g. ask if and where this goal or plan of decentralized labelers is supported in #atproto, and how that can scale to real decentralization. But anyway, it seems we all agree that this is an academical discussion, and right now #bluesky is basically centralized in practice. Nevertheless interesting discussion about protocols. Ideally all social media users could interact with each other using the same protocol.

It would be interesting to understand why so many people I followed on bsky have almost identical, down to the profile image, accounts on Mastodon that were abandoned without notice ca 2.5 years ago. #mastodon #bluesky
