Some white people especially the American and the European, they never understand why Cambodian people built a house like that! They think Cambodian people don't have the brain to built a decent house!
There you have it! It is because of the flooding from the heavy rain every year!
I'm a white American living in Cambodia for many years. I know hundreds of Americans and Europeans and have never heard ONE person say anything like that. You just haven't met the right foreigners yet. Don't give up, keep looking! :-)
Comment for American living in Cambodia: are you the new yorker man who travelled from Bangkok to Amman on 15th of june? I am the spanish woman.
