Ponderous Moments In Battambang

I have been here going on a little over a year now and some things here in Cambodia still irks me of how some locals can act. For example, today I went to have a bite to eat at a friends food booth in Phar Thmey. I mean I am pretty use to the stares I get when wondering around Battambang, but I haven't really gotten use to the fact that some that are looking are paying a little to close attention to me which make me at times feel really uncomfortable. Well to make a long story short, after I had my meal, I asked the girl who I consider family because her parents helped me get to know Cambodia when I first arrived, give me ride to my house because I didn't want to walk. So since me being a guy, it would only be right for me to dub her and on the way back, she could ride back there alone. So as I'm driving off,  all the moto dubbs and some folks there starting hollering and whistling  at me and I had to ask the girl I was with what they were hollering about. She told me that it could be because they think me and her are seeing each other as in boyfriend and girlfriend and my only thought was "craziness!"

So the question is this. Why single me out, out of all those that are there to do something like this to me?

Another question is why are they even paying so much attention to me to the point that I feel like their watching my every move.

And another thing is that if I was seeing her ( to which I'm not) what concern should it be to them?

Call me paranoid or whatever, but I really think these type of acts are rude and uncivilized.  Till next time folks, enjoy your day! Please feel free to share your comments below.

This place is one of my favorite spots to grab a beer and chill out. This place is located on Street 1 in between 119th and 121th street. From 3 pm to 7 pm, happy hour is in effect so you can get a glass of ice cold beer for .50 cents. They also have a good selection of good coffee and a menu that can satisfy the most picky.
