hi hi... @watusiwoman Thank you very much.. hahaha.. I have learnt a new word.. Tiki tours.. hahaha.. thanks a lot for posting your tortoise videos.. I also do enjoy reading your post a lot.. beautifully shot and written as a reading masterpiece.
Haha tiki tours is a common phrase to use in Australia. What started out as an actual tour company is a phrase now used by everyone when you do your own tour of a place. Thanku for the lovely compliment about my post 😍
There are tons of Aussies in Cambodia, as you probably already know. Well, this reminds me of one of my former lives in Cambodia, where I used my restaurant experience and Khmer language skills to teach English courses to guesthouse/hotel staff, and also improve communication/workflow between foreign managers and Khmer employees.
Some of the best laughs I had were with the staff of an Aussie-owned backpacker guesthouse. The Khmer kitchen crew spoke no English, but when I began teaching kitchen vocabulary, they stared at me with blank eyes. The stove was the cooker, the cooler an eskie, and just about every American English name of anything in the kitchen, they had already learned the OZ name.
Haha, yep us Aussies sure are good with the slang words. You can always pick a foreigner here by the bemused look on their faces when they try and follow a conversation.
