I am not sure if this thread would fit in which section. It is a bit out of topic to put it in Cambodian Culture and Language, however i couldn't find a better place to put it

Since most of Cambodia TVs show only propaganda and left behind a lot of fact about Cambodia and especially the life of unfortunate Cambodians. I wonder if people do believe Cambodia TVs saying Cambodians are becoming wealthier and living in better condition and better life while you could see many people especially children begging for money along the roads, many homeless people in the capital city, many people work so hard but still can't earn enough money to live in an acceptable lifestyle, people committed suicide for being poor.

I will start this thread with this picture i took when i was on the way from Orussey Market. An old guy was having his lunch on the sidewalk. I am not sure if he was only eating rice without foods as i couldn't see. This kinda of thing i will never see on Cambodia recent TVs.



Please feel free to add pictures you took indicating Cambodia and the life of Cambodian and it would be wonder if you could add anecdotes you heard from these unfortunate people.

I took these pictures last year on Water festival. It was about 2pm, they were having their lunch, carrying a plastic of rice and dry fish with a bottle of water.

If someone is born poor they don't know any different. It's only "unfortunate" in our western eyes.

most of em have been through hell and back but still have a laugh and a smile glued to there face.
