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.

Gecko Cafe In Battambang

(Updated) The Gecko has moved to street #1 and is now called The Kitchen. Food Gecko Cafe is located on the corner of Street 3 and 119. The place sits atop Gecko Moto's. I visit this place lot's of times during my stay in Battambang and when it comes to wanting a little western taste, this is one of my favorite spots. They serve good western food including burgers, pizza, salads and more. They also have Mexican food ranging from tacos to burritos and more. The Taco salad I had last was great and reminded me of home a little. Also, being in Cambodia, you can't forget about the Khmer dishes. I haven't tried alot of Khmer food here but I can say that the fried rice was good. They also serve some alcohol drinks. Besides being a little pricey for the locals, the money you pay for food here is well worth it. So enjoy! Service Ano...

Police Blotter: 14 Nov 2012

It’s a bird, it’s a plane – no, it’s a tuk-tuk driver A quick-thinking tuk-tuk driver turned the tables on a pair of would-be bag snatchers in the wee hours of Monday morning, ending their shenanigans by using his own vehicle as a battering ram. The two villains, 18 and 19, made their move after the driver had picked up a pair of foreign fares at Phnom Penh International Airport. When the teens made their move, the female passenger resisted, giving our tuk-tuk hero the chance to turn his vehicle into the thugs and send them tumbling to the ground. Police have sent the duo to court.
