Amazing kindness of two St.51 bargirls.
Amazing kindness of two St.51 bargirls.
On Friday afternoon, I left my wallet and phone in the glove-box of my mates car for safekeeping, while we were at the gym. He dropped me at my apartment honked goodbye...... and straight away I knew I had a problem. He was off to Kep for the weekend, unknowingly with my wallet, cash, ATM cards and phone. My cleaner was still at my apartment so at least I could get in to it.
I usually keep small amounts of cash stashed around the house in various places but after paying the cleaner I counted the princely sum of dollar bills and riel totaling $12 to last me the weekend until my mate gets back to town.
Now, all those who live here know that you can survive on 12 buckeroos for three nights. Rice and pork from Psar Kandal for two dollars, couple of bread rolls at the bakery for 1600 riels, large bottle of water for under a dollar, change my brand of cigs and it's 50 cents so I'm not going to starve. Only problem is that I really wanted to see a band (the GC Riders who are gaining quite a following) that were playing at Sharkeys on Saturday night. The band and a couple of beers idea won over any idea of eating well on Sunday evening.
#Any one ever tried to nurse two beers at Sharkeys for three hours without looking like cheapskate Charlie? At $1.50 a pop I felt just like Charlie...it was embarrassing the amount of times I said to the bar staff..''no, I'm right thanks'.
So come Sunday morning I'm down to a dollar.( I hate asking aquaintances for money...it is not in my nature) I also never cook at home and my fridge is basically there to keep beer cold and support the microwave which sits on top of it. Come 9pm on Sunday evening I'm fricken starving and de-hydrated. I live on Norodom...and the two closest mini marts for me to spend my $1 are either on St.178 or on St 51 opposite where Walkabout used to be. For some reason I chose St 51 waked there and bought a small bottle of water and a half packet of Oreos for my whole stash. I walked over there because my moto was on it's last dregs of fuel...I didn't want the shame of pushing my moto home up St 51.
As I was leaving the mini mart with my ''dinner'' I hear ''Chrees...Chrees.( Khmer for Chris.) It was from two St 51 regulars..ex Walkabout, sometimes Pontoon but always plying their trade on St. 51. They were both eating at the nearby outdoor Khmer restuarant. After the usual, 'where you go, what you do', I'm sure they noticed something in my demeanor. Whether it was my emancipated look or the fact that I was looking at their food rather than them...they asked me..."'you eat yet''?
I explained my situation and expected NOTHING. Instead I got the opposite. These two ladies, (I want to make it clear here that I have never had, or sought sex from these two in that past. I have always said a friendly hello, might have bought them a coke or red bull and perhaps given them a cigarette on occasions. Nothing more!) then became like mother hens. You want this...you want "mee chaa...bai chaaa...saich muon...want beer'?
Sweet Jesus. Within 5 minutes I had fried noodles with chicken and vegetables in front of me, iced tea, a cold can of beer and a cigarette. It was embarrassing and humbling and I was almost speechless with gratitude. They had to leave to go to a new bar where they heard barangs frequent but one of them told me to wait. She came back from the mini mart with 4 cans of beer and a full packet of cigarettes. OMG...it was surreal...they couldn't do enough and I was flabbergasted at their generosity. I bit my tounge at jokingly suggesting a free threesome when they kept asking ''you need something else''? After they left, the restuarant lady owner bought me over a plate of sticky rice with mango that they had also paid for with out my knowledge...and my most amazing experience was complete.
I walked home down crappy, dirty, dark 172 with take-way un-finished noodles, beers and cigarettes...and just thought to myself. Wow..what amazing kindness. I couldn't find them tonight...bargirls...I hope they are busy making a living. I will go back later tonight and repay them them for their kindness with cash. I think that is the best way right?
PS. Authenticity..Sokha and Bou.

This would be an amazing story if you repost in a few days to say the beers were spiked with rohypnol and you are now minus a kidney.
Nice refreshing story. I have seen similar story of Khmer folk helping out when there is a need. Similar to back home it isn't the wealthy who are the most generous.

Are you on holidays here or something?
Unless you boned them, then you should find them and cough up some readies pronto.
Probably better to just offer to buy them a few drinks or a meal than offer cash, even street hos have feelings.I will go back later tonight and repay them them for their kindness with cash. I think that is the best way right

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
I dunno, surely you could have called your mates phone or your own with your cleaner's phone within a few minutes, and slip her a 1000r note if it's off net. Boggles the mind?

Why pay the cleaner? Tell her after the weekend
Why not go to another mate and have him call Kep boy?
Or ask 2nd mate to loan a few bucks till after the weekend?
Or stay in and buy a few tins of tuna and watch tv whilst watching the tins of tuna out of the side of your eye as you don't have enough money to buy a can opener.
Dehydration, seriously? Doesn't everyone have those dollar jugs of water?
Still, practical solutions aren't as romantic as tramping the streets relying on the kindness of strangers. I guess you could have thrown some paint over a singlet, messed up your hair and camped outside the British embassy, regardless of whether you're British or not, and pleaded for succour. Not that they'd have helped. But would have given some lame ass journalists a story for the weekend supplement.

Khmer society is supported by a complex pyramid of favours.
It's good for them to be 'owed one' by a foreigner. At some stage in the future you'll probably be expected to pay back the favour.
However, and here is the kick, you give a favour as per your ability. So they may have spent $10 helping you but in the future it could be a sick mothers hospital fees at $500 or a totalled moto or anything else... could be legit, maybe not.
It may not come to it, but just prepare yourself that some day you may be approached for payback and it could be a corker of a request.
I'd suggest to clear the favour as LL suggests, take them out for dinner and have some drinks.
If you just offer them money then they'll prob refuse.

So your pride is so thick that you would go hungry and dehydrated versus asking a buddy for a $20??? That seems weird AF to me but I'd always want to go bed not hungry versus some sort of perceived weakness from asking another dude who is a friend for a spot of cash.
Honestly- What I find the most fucked up about your lil tale is this- You say that it is not your style to ask a mate for a bit of cash in tough times, I presume because you have some sort of weird sense of machoness and pride. But then you will let 2 skanky st 51 bargirls take pity on you and feed you in front of everyone.
If I were you- I'd feel a lot more weak and embarrassed by having to be fed by 2 prostitutes versus asking a mate for a bit of dough.

Well you are not me DetroitMuscle and thank fuck I'm not you. I met you once...u interupted a conversation at Sundance and told me proudly who you were. "I'm DetroitMuscle....resident asshole of K440". Your exact words!This was at 8pm ish. You were drunk then. At 11pm you were a blubbering, spitting, incoherent slob that 'NO skanky st 51 bargirl' would have fed their big toe in your gob let alone any food.DetroitMuscle wrote:So your pride is so thick that you would go hungry and dehydrated versus asking a buddy for a $20???
