I wouldn't feel guilty about not learning and speaking Khmer all those years you have been here. The 99% of the Cambodians that you have been in contact with have probably learnt a lot of English from you, although you haven't realised it.

After several years of living here, I have finally bitten the bullet and will begin my first one-to-one Khmer lesson tomorrow.

I hate to be a spoil sport, but I am in favour of the Prime ministers ban on water splashing and talcum powder being thrown. I had a birds eye view from above as a mid teenage girl in nicely dressed light coloured dress and top walked down the street and was squirted in the face with water then had ...
