Another new shopping center
Re: Another new shopping center

បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Re: Another new shopping center
No, no, no....you should take it seriously because actually there is a BIG difference between "supermarket" and "mall" . Take it easy....I'm just trying to confuse you on purpose, BUT yes, there is indeed a significant difference. .......now it's your term to choose.

Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht
In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht
In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser

Honestly i lied you at the moment, i did took English language so seriously, especially when it came to Idioms, Expressions and proverbs. Yes there are some differences between mall and super market. I did some research after she told me.

Does it have dinning tables? Or bad room furniture. Actually every khmer shop had bad room furniture. These people have the same tastes as Italian peasants in Australia. The awful balustrades, the blue glass and the shockingly ugly furniture.Oh and the lions outside.

Yea, much better when there are monkeys outside.
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.
