She sounds like she'd be a great match for JL - a beautiful half-Japanese elephant trainer who kick-boxes in her spare time.

Many farmers that breed animals, know that the first cross between two different purebreds eg, Friesian and Hereford , produce some very nice animals. I guess that the same thing goes with humans. Looking in our own backyard, you will see some lovely looking kids born to barangs and Cambodian girls, and mostly they are a lot smarter than your average Cambodian.Anchor Moy wrote:She sounds like she'd be a great match for JL - a beautiful half-Japanese elephant trainer who kick-boxes in her spare time.
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.
