Hands up if you never felt like unplugging those loudspeakers.

"Before the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia was just like any other country," Mol Kagnol, guitarist for Cambodia's first rock & roll band Baksey Cham Krong, says. "We had rock and roll, electric guitars and miniskirts."

Re: Hands up if you never felt like unplugging those loudspeakers.
of coarse they had concerts, amps and speakers 50 years ago
Traditions evolve with the times, just like Coca cola inventing the Red Santa clause and America inventing the use of a Pumpkin "Jock'o'lantern" during Halloween instead of a Turnip, in fact America have done a lot of tweaking to European "Traditions"
another being Christmas lights, in Europe Traditionally they would decorrate their Christmas Tree (German Origin) with edibles and candles, then America brought out fairy lights to decorate their trees, then next thing you know shit like this happens.....
WTF has that got to do with Traditions?!

Re: Hands up if you never felt like unplugging those loudspeakers.
In my experience myanmar is worse than cambodia in that regard.
Many moons ago as I was sleeping in khaiktyo, down the hill where the golden boulder is located I was awaken by deafening loudspeaker pali chants that started at 2am and shut down by breakfast time. Only time in asia that I literally dreamt of owning sailorsman's M16.

In indonesia surely in cambodia clearly not.timmydownawell wrote:Mosques > Pagodas
I have lived next door to SHV mosque for more than 5 years and have only heard them open their amp for the muezzin prier call 2 or 3 times.
I actually found it to be quite a relaxing melody also useful as a time frame, like european churches are with the bells ringing.
But i guess it also depends on the caller's voice. The son of the imam (or some other teenager) was in charge of the afternoon call and that was a hairs rising disaster.

The caller's voice near where I stay when I'm in KL is awful. He's completely tone deaf. Wouldn't make it past the auditions on Malaysian Idol, that's for sure.
And they do it five times a day or whatever too. I couldn't deal with that. Monks are nothing in comparison.

Church bells ringing every hour on the hour (like in Catholic-European countries) can be annoying too. Then you get used to it. (Or move.)timmydownawell wrote:.Barang_doa_slae wrote:In indonesia surely in cambodia clearly not.timmydownawell wrote:Mosques > Pagodas
