On my tour of the lake villages, the guide mentioned that in Cambodia it was traditional for the groom to bring rosy cow, pig and chicken to the affair ( kind of a reverse dowry). I think this is an excellent idea and while too late for my kids, certainly this should become a requirement for all male Kaulbach descendant grandchildren (currently 9). Living on a farm, the Prill boys will have leg up but no excuses for the rest A young woman has a right to expect decent prospects
Angkor Wat sunrise is a “must do” so I got up at 445 and slumped into the Tuk Tuk for the miserable affair-
Somewhere Jim Gallagher is smiling At least I got breakfast (Asian style) on my return this time-
Strangely, the boutique hotel I stayed at was as good a hotel as any I have ever stayed at anywhere Just wonderful and so inexpensive- $62/ night including a robust breakfast
That ends my short sojourn in Cambodia A very friendly and kind people but a bit pitiable from my interactions, which I think is unsurprising given their history with the Khmer Rouge (who murdered approximately 1/4 of the population) and even recent events (border war with Thailand)
