Seeing 4 groups of tourists victim of emptying their pockets in street 144

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

*knocks on wood *
I don't know why, but in French we do also say "knocks on wood, and touch some monkey's skin" -> "Je touche du bois, et de la peau de singe".

Usually the guy who says that touches your skin, or someone else's skin around, but not to a total stranger though. An acquaintance at least, but better a friend or someone at the same table.

Do you have that line in English, or any other language, of is it just us ?

No idea why wood or monkey's skin are about luck, but that's what we say.

:chin:
If particularly unlucky you could have a "knock on the doorgasm"
