was just reading up on the customs in cambodia and came across a few interesting ones:

You must wake up before sunrise or you are lazy.

If you speak with anger or emotion or express feelings, you will not be respected. You are behaving like an immature and uneducated child.

Men can eat a lot but must not eat fast.
Women can eat only a small amount.

All guests must be served water or another drink even if they come for only a short visit. Give a drink rather than ask what they want, which is impolite. If asked, they are obligated to choose the least expensive drink.

Men should not look women directly in the eye. (They may become confused, feel uncomfortable, nervous, shy, and not respected.)

Men should not give "strong" visual attention to other men.

HAHA i love the last one x) from this, i hereby conclude that we are all lazy, immature and uneducated ppl.

leaving for cambodia in a week's time and im so not prepared! there are still quite a number of things to settle for the trip. and there's RCLF bonding camp from sunday to monday (which also requires much preparation).

and the most anti-climax of all, i have GP tuition homework to submit before i leave. AQ, which was due yst (i requested for an extension till today and i hvent even started) and essay which is due next wed.
