Big Haired Cambodians At The Outdoor Disco


After a couple of beers, I head off, bidding farewell to the waitress who had too many teeth in her head, but otherwise very pretty, and wander about the night market, passing dozens of souvenir shops, silk stalls, food stalls selling deep fried quail (complete, just without the feathers) and other culinary delights: I haven’t seen any creepy crawlies just yet (unlike Bangkok) and as I was about to head back, the music turned up a notch, and the area in front of a central stage cleared…

This band then got on stage and sang / danced to various local songs – encouraging the crowds to dance local routines, which turned out to be quite good. 

All of a sudden I was surrounded by young, big-haired Cambodians, and appeared to be at an outdoor disco!
