My take on this? "Please bargaining" has already been accomplished. Powerful hands have been washed, stern lectures given and the snail is off the thorn;. all is right with world. Pretty pennies reigned everywhere.

"I know you asked Jamie but he is not into feathered birds."

Good point. Anyway I thank you for your help. Cheers.

Jamie is trying to prove that birds of a different feather can "flock" together.

"Shit everyone is in this except me and maybe Explorer. I should be more careful."

No credibility for you until Explorer vouches for you. thanks

"Every house in Cambodia is on stilts.."

Every house, really?

There is a song bird in Cambodia that locals call tao wao(or tow wow) assuming tow rhymes with wow. Do either you or your dictionary know the English? Thanks Chamboy.

Nope, that period of time has given me insight to both locals and cape wearing expats.

"There are no doubt, some people who have little idea what really goes on."

I frequently am left with the feeling you may be one of them.

Recently it seems you have become disenchanted with Kampuchia explorer. You're finding evil everywhere among the locals and naivete among the expats. How fortunate tha latter are having you guard their backs and how unfortunate the locals are to have their black side revealed.

"Can anyone stand up and say they meet these criteria , this includes the females as well ( change the word husband to wife)?"

Agreed... All these pulpits and no choir.

"Unfortunately, very few relationships meet this mark, this ideal. The reasons are many, and that is the topic for another post."

Only God and explorer meet such heady criteria.
