Re: Khmers and cobwebs
It's usually the outside bog that's like a haunted house. Especially annoying as the regular users are about a foot shorter and the spiders aren't used to lofty strangers. Not really big on redecorating, either. I don't know whether it's just a British obsession but most long weekends involve some sort of repainting, wallpapering etc etc, whereas here even people with money have some really tatty looking places.

Re: Khmers and cobwebs
Maybe you are taller than her. Or maybe she is scared of spider. As a woman, she doesn't have hundred hands. I've talked with my classmates about our boyfriends. Some girls have Khmer boyfriends, some have barang boyfriends. They asked if barang share housework with his gf? Hehehe... I couldn't help laughing when I heard their question. Told them" man is a king!".

I got lost, you asked your peers the question & there answer was " man is a king!"
If correct what is that age bracket please? How many responded? Curiouser & curiouser.
I do 50% ++ of domestic chores. I do not hand wash her intimates however.

Re: Khmers and cobwebs
I always help with the housework when I'm home, although I do know a few Foreign guys, with local partners, who refuse to do any form of housework as "that is the woman's job", or they just pay for a cleaner to do it all.

"They asked if barang share housework with his gf?"
I think you've got that back to front. "Does gf share housework with her barang?" Well, of course she doesn't! She's rich now. She doesn't have to do that sort of thing anymore. She can just get her younger sister to do it when she comes around. (Wouldn't want to break a fingernail or anything).

That would be disruptive as my gf's sister is only one hour younger & just as foxxy.
I still have to give a long look to be sure who who.
Would cause surprise. I don't need that.

I've also known a lot of families here and been in enough houses to know that it is not uncommon to just scrupulously clean some parts of a house and completely ignore others.
I don't know whether it's just a British obsession but most long weekends involve some sort of repainting, wallpapering etc etc, whereas here even people with money have some really tatty looking places.
I'm with you on that. Home improvement/ maintenance is a big thing back home. I don't feel as comfortable in a place that's unkempt, with dirty walls etc. Especially when it's so easy to fix. I remember being surprised going into a rich friend's villa here years back. The ceiling in one huge room was caved on one side, and when I asked him he said it fell in in the rain a few months before. Where I'm from we'd deal with that sort of shit immediately, no matter how much trouble or cost.
There's also the difference that most peoples back home have tools/ ladders/ etc around and someone can manage because getting an electrician or whatever in is going to cost you too much, like $50 an hour or more. Here its a lot cheaper to call someone to do it - even if they botch it!
Silence, exile, and cunning.
