How to dig a hole in Cambodia ?


Some things never get old. For more than a decade I am witnessing the following methods of hole digging in Cambodia:

Variation 1: One guy is in the hole and actually digging. 3 or 4 guys are around the hole watching him.

Variation 2: 5 guys are around an empty hole, peeping into it for 15 minutes not saying one word.

Variation 3: 2 underage girls, 2 guys and 1 hole. 2 underage girls are in the hole digging like crazy and the 2 guys are watching.

Have you witnessed any other variation ?
Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht

In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist

Digging the hole is not the problem ,,For Cambodians it's what to do with it after it's dug.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Well, they leave it as it is for a week. That's esp. interesting in the rainy season when the streets are flooded knee deep and people are just disappearing.
