Is that Dumbo?
by Etoile2B
While walking along the riverfront we were surprised to find a man taking his elephant out for a stroll. It was quite a surprising site for us. We were expecting that he was using the creature for personal gain and as we drew close we expected he would ask us for money in exchange for the opportunity to feed his elephant or to have our picture taken next to the massive beast. Much to our surprise this was not the case. The two seemed simply to be out for an afternoon stroll along the water. Truly one of our favorites sightings in Cambodia.
Saving Face
by Unknownsu
Like other Asians, the Cambodians attach a great deal of importance to the concept of face, which involves gaining, preserving and enhancing respect and status. Foreigners should avoid actions or words that may cause Cambodians to lose face in public. If criticism or potentially status-damaging actions or words are necessary, try to find a more subtle way of getting your message across. The Cambodians would most likely respond appropriately.
