Those guys are still strangers to Cambodian’s tradition as we can see they don’t have a soft character as Cambodians. Anyway, we’re all have different personalities and identities. And it’s safe though…
I know all these guys except the chap on the left hand side. They are Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development who are voluntarily working in Cambodia. I used to provide Cross-cultural Training to all of them before they departed to Cambodia. The lady in blue sky is Roni. She is a Cambodian Aussie.
Personally, I think these guys are nice though their personalities as Westerners/ Aussies are a bit different from us. I am sure they do like Cambodia and our culture but they are somehow playful as you can see in the photo.
Having a person of a different ethnicity openly accept the beauty of traditional Cambodian wedding attire should be a positive reflection. Indeed, I do agreed that western culture generally clashes with that of the east. However, we should embrace their open mind and stray away from critiquing their appearances. No offense intended, but most of the Cambodian society are generally critical and judgmental of physical appearances. If you do not follow the straight line path, then you are un-pretty so to speak.
I like this photo very much. I would like to thank them for taking picture by wearing Khmer traditonal clothes.
Is he/she getting married? I am confused.
