Bum Bum?


I milled around the night market, watching and listening for a long time and then made my way back, past all the motorbike and tuk-tuk drivers asking me if I want a ride, then if I want a massage or a “bum-bum”, whatever that is – but it must be naughty or illegal as they all say it surreptitiously under hushed breath.

I later Google the latter and find that it’s an invite to shoot things with old military weapons, including animals – e.g. water buffalo. I am a bit shocked by this, and decide that ‘bum bum’ is not for me.
