Ms. Money Bags

Cambodia Day One
Wide eyed Cambodian child: "Lady, lady, lady! Postcard one dollar. I give you good price."
Me: "No, thank you"
Where are you from?"
"Canada"
"Capital of Canada is Ottawa, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, major cities Vancouver and Toronto, you buy braclets $1."
"No, thank you"
"Lady, lady, look many different color,"
"No, thank you"
I give you good price 5 for $1"
"No, thank you"
"You buy for your friend"
"No, thank you"
"You buy for your sister"
"This is my sister"
"You buy for your friend"
"No, thank you"
"Postcard one dollar."
This conversation continues for the whole duration of each of the over one hundred watts in Camboria or until my heart breaks and I give her a dollar, or I give the child candy that we bought them in hopes to get them to stop (which consistantly fails to work) or when I give them thai baht after I have no more american money left because of the begging they respond... "Lady this not a lot of money".

Cambodia Day Two:
Cambodian man: "Lady, lady lady. Tuk, tuk!"
Me: "No, thank you"
"How about tomorrow?"
"No, thank you"
"Where are you from, let me guess Canada?"
I laugh, "How did you know that?"
"Because you are little. I wait right here for you, tuk tuk."
(Everything is walking distance from our guesthouse).
"Lady, lady lady. Tuk, tuk!"
