Say it with dollar bills, rather than flowers
Heard on the campus of the Royal University in Phnom Penh: “If I were the designer of the CPP logo, I would not draw a Tevoda (angel) sowing flowers, but distributing dollar bills instead!” The Tevoda-ATM: a new concept isn’t it?
One is never careful enough…
This scene took place in Siem Reap city. Two friends stop a fried banana street seller for a snack. They paid her, and the old women open her cart drawer where she kept her money to pull out the change. One of the customers noted that among the money bills, there was an identity card. “Why to you keep this ID in your cart?” the man asked. “I’m afraid my house got burnt, and it will take all my belongings along! So, I preciously keep near me all my paper works to be sure that I can go to vote on the 27!” Who says that Cambodians are not interested in the election?
