You stole religious items. That's really not cool and I'm not even religious!
it's hugely inappropriate and disrespectful to Khmer people, who you claim to love.
Those items should be returned to Sihanoukville with an apology.
But fair enough, not quite the same.

Actually. Even better for Me. Cambodian police stoled My Gold Chain so I snatched something Golden. And even 3 Shot classes and everything.John Bingham wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2017 12:00 amI don't think there's a big deal with you taking them if they were thrown away.RikuPontinen888 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 11:43 pm
So I adopted those items as they were leaved there under the sun and rain and NO ONE to take care of them.
I am very Buddhist and I understood fully.
However, as I tried to say before, they are not Buddhist. So you obviously don't understand. They are ancestral shrines and the figures represent the guardian spirits of the grandfather/ grandmother.

Re: VERY old Buddhist Statues and Mirrors. Help needed.
The prayer house thingy left at my house... I left the guardians in the alley (and someone took them), but the little prayer house thing was too crappy to be redeemable so I trashed it. I am not religious in any way but I still felt kinda bad. I think people leave them outside because they feel it's disrespectful to trash them. I've seen quite a few abandoned this way.rozzieoz wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2017 12:32 pmSpoil sport!John Bingham wrote:It's not even remotely like that.

Re: VERY old Buddhist Statues and Mirrors. Help needed.
yeah you get these depots for spirit house dumping. i always wonder if someone has had a run of bad luck and cleaned house on the fuckers- made them homeless and got some new ones in.
though that is not the subject of this thread which is Very OLD buddhist statues and mirrors, which is not what the OP has anyway so may as well talk about any old crap.

Most interesting are Spiritual wall flags I robbed from the middle of the downtown almost next to the downtown. Red Flag with a Khmer lady with a one eye and all kind of ancient letters locals could not translate. -> Later I went in the old totally abandoned house. Did some rituals like "Susnai can I come in".
It`s old BIG house almost next to the Golden Lion Gym ( I am member, excellent Place btw. ) I went in. Checked whole Place until I went upstairs and did one muscle up movement to transfer myself into the attic / straight under the roof and found it. Other Red "Flag" which was actually like a "apron" or down part to My other Red flag I found from the downtown. It was interesting as FUUUCK. It was truly Un-natural. I found two pieces that belong together just randomly.
I will post pictures of the text`s later about these red flags when get My pc back. Interesting huh? Just randomly. In very random public places. These items mean lot to Me.
I feel like My trip went just how it shoulded to go.

After I found out these. I found a new Ghost house that I robbed properly. There was a graffitis like : "GET PUSSY LIKE THE M DOES, Hoes for free for everybody"
I felt bad vibes. I went all the way inside with My coconut. I checked whole damn Place. It was obvious it was a CRACK HOUSE.
I found out blue flag from the floor. I told old Ladies outside: "Check this out Cambodian Girls" and throwed it outside.
I went one more round, cracked coconut with my elbow meanwhile local old guys were like " YAY YAY " .
I stepped outside and burned blue flag meanwhile Young Cambodian gangsters were making video about it.
It was most maqical moments of My life. IT WAS SUPER SPOOKY YO. Throw all these stories together and add up something. And You understand that spritualism must be
real and I throwed Myself inside COMPLETELY in Cambodia. Can You dear reader say You been doing same things than Me with full support of the locals. Kinda. Not everybody.
I got littlebit "Crazy stamp" from some people. But it was actually okey. I understand.
I went all the way inside. It`s opposite side of the infamous Queen.Co casino & Fabolous Japanese restaurant made By Master Shin.
Almost. I don`t know any other landmarks.

Burning a flag was one of the most magical moments of your life?
