      I agree, and it seems to be a part of the culture.

    Meeting Chan and becoming so attached to him and his family was one highlight of Cambodia, not to be forgotten. I think Tim was a little jealous when Chan would ask where I was when he came back to the bungalow alone. However, Tim’s friendship grew as he sat outdoors with his laptop and interviewed Chan. The result- one true and amazing story!

    Ok, did you intentionally allude to Iqbal’s opening lines in your first paragraph? We are working on that book right now, and I keep hearing echoes of it in this story. Thank you for the wonderful posts!

      Wow! I didn’t even realize I’d done that. I must be missing the book after reading it so many times. Thanks for reading and commenting!
