    Curiosity in the classroom. Lesson distraction: School may be important, but any break in the regular routine of lessons is always welcome, as proven by the curiosity shown by the young girl “visiting” a primary classroom, and the students within, when a group of visitors drop by their school to donate stationery supplies. by: shiow-chin Views[279] A picture of patience. Hopeful eyes: This young boy waited quietly and patiently on the steps of the tour bus – long after his gang of friends had moved on to other “targets” – for one of us passengers to soften our hearts and give him something. (I caved and gave him a couple of pens, which I sincerely hope he didn’t try to sell to the next group of tourists!) by: shiow-chin Views[173] Working hard at Angkor Wat. Young models: Some of the local children not only sell postcards of the iconic tourist attraction, but are also available to pose for photographs with tourists – for a fee, of course. by: shiow-chin Views[277] Seeking alms on Tonle Sap lake. Boat-to-boat begging: A mother with her baby and young daughter ¬– who seems happily oblivious to her role in drawing sympathy – soliciting donations from tourists who visit the village on the lake. by: shiow-chin Views[245] Posing with snakes on Tonle Sap lake. Tough negotiator: An old hand at bargaining, this young Khmer lady knows precisely how much to charge the group of Malaysian tourists to handle and take photographs with her snake. by: shiow-chin Views[441]
