Is it Christmas ???


You would not even know that it is almost Christmas here in Happy Buddhist Cambodia…

  • No lights (other than the miles of multicoloured fairy lights on every Khmer beer garden)
  • No Christmas trees, except the sad looking plastic one just inside the ex-pat supermarket (i.e. slightly enlarged corner shop with grossly inflated prices for tins of baked beans)
  • No 24/7 bombardment and besieging of our ears by that git Phil Spectre and his Christmas album
  • Oh, no Slade either
  • No snow, just the sunny but low 30C of the Khmer winter.
  • No houses turned into a mini Disneyland of plastic Santa’s, sponge foam snowmen, or wall mounted reindeer.

However will I survive…

Seasons Whatnots and like Yuletide Thingies

Ho, Ho, Ho
