Hey, all!!
The following post is brought to you by Team VESSELS!!
You know you’re in Cambodia when…
- Clothing is optional for anyone under 5… Everyone else, long shorts and sleeves, please!
- You get change in (and pay for things) in both USD and Riel.
- To cross the street, you wait for a gap in traffic and go (pause occasionally to keep from being run over; motorbikes and tuk tuks won’t necessarily stop). Think frogger.
- Tree trimming is done by a guy climbing the tree with a machete.
- You feel like a rock star walking down the street because most people smile, give high fives or hugs, wave, and say hi because they “love Europeans!!”
- You need to know the name of where you are going and/or how to give directions to get there; street addresses are not enough!!
- Dessert consists of a variety of fruit that may or may not be able to be translated to English.
- Best practice to eat is with your spoon (also true in other Asian countries).
- Everyone argues over the honor of doing the dishes.
- Whenever you feel the need to honk your car horn go for it! No logical reason necessary.
- Your ministry changes 3 times in the first 4 days of being there… Oh, wait… That one is because it’s the World Race! It’s the World Ra-ace!!
That's all for now!!
Until next time!!
