A Real Khmer Experience

Khmer individuals keep on impressing me. They're the kindest, most cheerful individuals I've ever met. This is something I keep on seeing increasingly ordinary. 

On an almost betrayed shoreline, 30 km outside of Sihanoukville, in Ream National Park, it happened once more. 

Sunday, we leased motorbikes so we could take off of the populated Sihanoukville to investigate close-by Ream National Park. I truly didn't recognize what's in store with the day, so like most days, I took the path of least resistance. A Finnish person I'd met the prior night was going along with me and we set off on our mopeds, into the obscure. 

Exploring occupied city movement, we were searching the roadway away. Here we could open up the throttle on our bicycles and feel the wind surge against our countenances. After a brief time of riding, we touched base at Ream National Park. 

We rode along a weak soil trail with expectations of discovering more detached shorelines. On a little delta, we discovered something that looked perfect, some place where white sand and delicate waves collided with the shoreline. Gazing upward and down the coastline I understood we were the main nonnatives around. 

A neighborhood family was making the most of their Sunday off work at the same shoreline. We felt a tad bit like gatecrashers, and chose it was best that we take off after we snapped a couple photographs. Exactly when we were going to bounce on our bicycles and discover another shoreline, one of the men from the family came up to us and asked "will you drink brew with me"? Obviously our answer was yes. 

We sat down with him on his covering and delighted in yet another Angkor brew. Like all the Khmer individuals I've met, being social is a colossal piece of their lives. Having a brew with local people implies a ton of "chuol moi", which is what might as well be called here's to you. 

Be cautioned however, it's unquestionably not "choy moi" which is the normal pattern for local people working in the vacationer business to educate unwary voyaging hikers, and is best not said in more amenable groups of friends. Being the lively, lenient individuals that the Khmers are, they'll grin and dismiss it, however you're truly alluding to something much more personal. 

Grins were delighted in alongside heaps of giggling amid our broken English discussion. Indeed, even a couple tears were shed as our new Khmer companion was upset to the point that he couldn't talk more familiar English with us. Obviously this was immediately dismissed with yet another "chuol moi", another beverage was shared, and numerous more snickers were appreciated. 

For those of you who don't have the foggiest idea, Sihanoukville is the gathering center point for nonnatives in Cambodia. The scandalous Serendipity shoreline is a gathering each night, lined with "shoreline clubs", which draw in numerous several voyagers consistently. Hikers, vacationers, ex-taps and even local people can be found in the blend. 

Most local people don't approve the gathering scene on the shoreline, and for some great reasons. So for local people to be so kind to us here was a genuine treat. Khmer individuals, essentially, are the best!
