Odd Observations Part One: Cambodia

VIETNAM | Sunday, 22 June 2008 | Views [512]

1. Things seen on the back of a scooter:

- A pig

- A child attached to a medical drip

- A family of 6

- 5 large chests of drawers/cupboards

- 8 matresses plus pillows

- A sheet of glass

2. Children driving - motorbikes, scooters, large trucks. On the highway. And not just 15/16 year olds, but also kids of about 12.

3. Lamb chop: I'm not too sure what it means in Khmer, but I'm pretty sure I've heard people saying "lamb chop". reminds me of mum's roast lamb - next time I'm home please mum....

4. Pajamas: Women wearing pajamas. As daytime wear. Maybe its sensible in this weather, but when you see a grown woman dressed in bright purple from head to toe, with Mickey Mouse faces all over her outfit.....! It reminds me of living with the girls in the Pizza Penthouse, when the Colombian used to wander around the house in her pajamas, a full face of makeup (inc. bright red lipstick) and high heels...

5. Moles. Perfectly shaved men, except for their facial moles. Spotted a man earlier with baby smooth face, except for the 7 CEMTIMETRES of hair sprouting from his chin mole.

6. Flem. Caughing it up and spitting. Everywhere.

7. Little black bags on busses. Not entirely sure what they are handed out for, the only thing we could work out was related to the flem spitting (see point 6).
