The boy is holding a long string of used cans of beer at wedding tent, where I joined this wedding in Kompong Speur province. That is not odd for Cambodian young boys or girls to collect cans for selling.

I have seen them [children collecting cans at weddings and at the beaches] on many occasions in the past. My empathy is with them that they have to do that for pocket money to help their family.
Even here - the state of welfare, in early hour in the morning, an Asian gentlemen in his late 60 I assumed, [couldn’t verified his nationality] go through bins after bins for cans and plastic bottles. I do believed that is his habit not because he didn’t have any money.

That is the poor children’s life in Cambodia.
the rich is getting rich, the poor is getting poor.

Those poor kids. Speaking of which when I went to the Sihanoukkville beach in Cambodia, there are many of them. They will asks you for the can. I just end up giving them the can plus the drink in the can, because they won’t stop asking and I felt bad. So I ended up buying at least like 16 cans of soda…hahaha It is very sad i think.
