Can also steal them off the clothes-lines at a pagoda ; always seems to be a lot of washing out to dry .Barang_doa_slae wrote:Ever tried setting foot into a local market ?Cam Nivag wrote:Where do you buy monk clothes anyway? I've never seen them for sale at Sorya Mall or anything
(Just light a bit of incense and leave $5 and you're sweet.)
JJBTW.

15 years ago I learned and practiced my khmer in the local markets (90% women and all vocabulary on display was a sure bet ). Nowadays I shouldn't blame you as I seldom set foot there myself (too hot being the main reason)Cam Nivag wrote:Once.

A few month back I did an experiment with my wife of buying some pre-chosen articles for our kids. I bargained as much as I could but ended paying way more than she did... So Since then I stick to air con supermarkets

Good that she used to get it cheaper than you. In my experience with girlfriends I always find out I can get things cheaper than the price they pay. I always wonder why and put it down to my good looks , and nothing to do with getting ripped off by my loved one.

My ex-wife (Vietnamese) forbade me going to the market with her. Prices stated were hugely inflated and when she asked why the answer inevitably was "your boyfriend is paying".....

Wearing robes or table cloths & passing ur self off as a monk are entirely different!
WTF is the problem? If that was all this country had to worry over it would be nice.

I am not religious but respect people that are. I believe that in many countries passing yourself off as a person of the cloth is a crime.Luigi wrote:Wearing robes or table cloths & passing ur self off as a monk are entirely different!
