He went on to be a tuk tuk driver, then went to college and nowadays is doing very well as a plantation manager. Anyway, he seemed like a reasonably smart guy so one day I asked him as we were driving through a Cham area what he thought about Chams.

So he said "I don't like them. The Cham are sorcerers. They get the poison tree bark and magically put it in your stomach. Then you are sick in your stomach forever."

"Okay" I replied.

I KNEW IT!

Yeah, that happens.

I was actually really surprised to find out that to a lot of Asians, westerners all look the same.

I worked with two guys who were both very overweight. One was bald and clean-shaven, the other had hair and a goatee. Locals would still get them confused all the time though, apparently all fat foreigners look the same.

It can also be Western on Western:
I had two typically blonde swedish backpackers staying in my one room apartment for a week, and I couldn't tell them apart.
It was never any jealousy.
They were good guys.

Even in the stables back home, it took us a few months before we decided to measure two of the horses, and we realized that the white one was two hands taller than the black one.

If you have lived with a Cambodian woman for a long time, you have learned that the differences in culture are distinct and that only complete silence would be the best possible response to some of what they say. However, it is also part of the mysteries of the female soul, which seem to extend even further into the realms of the non-negotiable by blending two cultures as different as the post-modern Western model of life with many centuries-old traditions, rooted in this society.

But still, it's the spectacle of foreign newcomers on missions that entertains me the most here, albeit with a certain level of caution mixed in with some of their dodgy looking business dealings here.

Last year, a Dentist said, "Open wide."

This did make me stop and think about the possible interpretations of the word "well". Everything is relative.

Mr Chito said Cambodia treated drug suspects well, unlike some countries in the region that simply shot them...
