Google translate says "French" but that might just mean barang=foreigner.
One of the comments to the video is google translated as "four days into my home." I'm not sure if that means the guy has come every day for four days.

I was in SR last month and eating in a cheapie restaurant near the old market with 2 staff members.
3 foreign guys in their early 20's were going around begging for money. One had a guitar and was singing but they were begging (not busking). They were speaking broken Khmer saying 'don't have money'.
I was sort of hidden behind a pillar so they just saw my two staff sitting at our table and they approached us. When I leant forward to speak to them, they saw I was foreign and just left the restaurant without stopping at another table. They were only targeting Asians.
There were dressed normally - not trampy. They had a guitar and one had a fancy camera case. I dunno if there was a camera inside it or not.
They didn't look like they were short of money. They did look like dickheads - and that was what I was about to tell them.

Did they look like Bec.

I can't imagine why else you'd walk around begging for money in Asia unless you were skint. I can think of some interesting social experiments to be conducted on the expat community in Sihanoukville, however.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:They didn't look like they were short of money.

Last time I was out on the piss in Shitsville, I came across and begging barang.
Come on, its much cheaper than paying a hooker.

My posts are just jokes, maybe they're rude, offensive, and politically incorrect. They're not my opinion, viewpoint, idea, or judgement, but they're just fucking jokes so lighten up.

I was walking along the beach the other day minding my own business trying to avoid human contact when i noticed a group of high spirited khmer's merrily grabbing beers out of a large ice box. They waved so i waved back, then as i was walking by one of them sticks a beer out in front of me. So i politely decline once, then again and again and again, but then i realize the losing face thing and think fuck it, plus like like it was a beer and shit so like fug it right? Right? Right??
So i take the beer, but then whadafug! The dude handing me the beer is actually filming me taking the beer on his fugging smartphone?
Probably on fugging Facebook now.
Is this a new trend i wondered? Charity to barangs on Facebook?

Nope, three guys. Two looked like American college kids. Another looked European (Spanish or Portuguese). But I'm not great at profiling...Alexandra wrote:Did they look like Bec.

I used to regularly receive free beers from Khmer folk. More so outside PP - just interested in chatting with a foreigner and they were happy to share their booze. Never been filmed though... I guess it was just an overenthusiastic smartphone operator.spitthedog wrote:I was walking along the beach the other day minding my own business trying to avoid human contact when i noticed a group of high spirited khmer's merrily grabbing beers out of a large ice box.

That was actually one of the things I wondered. I'm sure they weren't skint. Was it a social experiment or were they just doing it for giggles?Londo wrote:I can't imagine why else you'd walk around begging for money in Asia unless you were skint.

I wonder if it was a social experiment ?
They are all over the net of late!

Cute girl to make quick money the old fashioned and more honorable way? Exactly how? Play the guitar and and an open tips jar? Waitressing? Fashion model for hire? Since I was never a cute girl, I really have no idea.
Don't worry, be happy.
