- Cambodians think all western nationals are Ba'rang (French, even if they're not!)- Be prepared to speak to the locals if you plan to travel to the countryside in Cambodia: Children will always say hello to you. Be friendly and say hello back to them!
- Cambodians are so excited to hear foreigners speaking Khmer. (They will probably laugh in a friendly way because they are not used to foreigners speaking their language!)
- More than 95% of Cambodians are Buddhist.
- Cambodians eat everything (I mean, most things)
- Remember! 'A'ping' is not considered a spider by Cambodians. (But it is spider! infact it is a tarantula). Many Cambodians enjoy eating them as a snack.
- All items you buy will include an unofficial foreigner tax! You have to pay extra because you are foreigner. End of story ;- )
- People like starring at you (foreigners). It is not impolite but they are just curious. Don't be shy! If you want them to stop starring at you. You should stare back at them !
- Most Cambodians think that all foreigners are Christian, even if they are not.
to be continued!
