Culture and Customs

After 5 years in Cambodia , I would like to share with you some culture  and customs of the country.
Cambodians are very nice and helpful people , always ready to help you . Unfortunately, they do not always know how to say NO, and that you can play a few rounds . If you ask one direction, for example, or you ask him if it is this way , even if he does not know , he will always answer YES!

it has happened to my wife who speaks Khmer …

This can happen when you ask a tuktuk driver if he knows the place where you want to go there ? He will tell you YES , anyway. If he says no , he will not have the job …

Go on , he will do his best, he will ask friends , take your troubles patiently , adopt  » the Khmer attitude  »

It’s the Holidays !

********************************

Cambodians smile all the time , it is in their nature .

They smile to say hello , it is so simple a smile instead of a hello, how are you?

If you have a problem, even if he does not understand or that it can not help you, he smiled to be polite

In any case, THEY make fun of you .

********************************

If you must drive a motorcycle or a car, there is still not a priority right. Cambodian is a very proud people , he will always pass .

Let him go first …

********************************

Time and punctuality are Western concepts , unfortunately in this latitudes all becomes elastic … The person with whom you make an appointment  can come  with an hour late and make you a big smile. This is not rudeness , this is simply NOT LIKE AT HOME !!!

********************************

In Cambodia, when people invite you to eat at home , they try to cook small meals with their meager means . This is often based on fish , more or less big.
It is fashionable not to take the whole fish and put it on his plate.
The dishes are eaten together !

********************************

The monk who walk the streets for alms , do it only in the morning, never after 11am . If you them in the street after this time, go your way.
Please learn to love Our Beautiful Country and adopt  :

 » the Khmer attitude  »

Niclaude & Seng
