Japanese Offering Free Hugs Outside Royal Palace

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Japanese aren’t typically the hugging kind, either. It wasn’t that long ago that a bow or a stiff handshake was acceptable. Is this a thing with the younger generation, or just a guy only thing?

At least the Japanese aren’t doing the kissy kissy thing that the French love doing.

What "kissy kissy thing"? You mean the way continental Europeans sometimes greet each other by brushing cheeks and kissing the air?
To me that's a very endearing custom, and I'm happy to see it spreading to other countries. People don't have to be scared of intimacy.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Just because the guy took off his Santa Clause suit and continues giving hugs , everyone thinks [ he ] it's weird.
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.

I have always wondered about how much of that was staged with actors? Let's face it, he tries to kiss some redneck and he'll get blown away on the spot.
