Sesame
Auto-translated
Cambodia, Siem Reap.
A couple of days ago, a massage parlor opened right across from our modest dwelling. Well, you know, massage parlors seem to be pretty much the same in every country. It opened with a bang, with songs, dances, and a mini-firework display.
Today, for the first time in six months of living in Cambodia, I witnessed a brawl with shouting and, hmm... well, a classic female brawl with hair-pulling and screaming at the top of their lungs.
Too bad I don't know Khmer and can't fully appreciate the depth of the drama unfolding.
But in general, the cultural shock I experienced was primarily due to the shouting. People here are very calm, they never raise their voices, and they react to shouting either with surprise or (as was the case here) with amused attention, as if it were a free circus show.
