I've been told by a couple of restaurant owners that "it is wise to have all the [staff] of one nationality". Then again, I seem to remember a drunken conversation on another occasion where a bar owner explained the benefits of having both Khmers and Vietnamese on his staff as they tended to rat each other out.barangdave wrote:Love the 'servants' section.
Thanks for posting this, Barang.

That's definitely the coolest fucking shit I've seen in years. If only I'd had this information before I came here, I could have avoided so many faux pas. Or whatever the fuck they call them.

35 Riel to the $ in 1957. Petrol a snip at $.07/l and a cook from $37/month. Fuel has gone up a lot more than Khmer labour it would seem.
Ch 11 on the home grown communist party was quite chilling.
Good work Barang, where did you find this?

Boyesse? What's wrong with "girl?"No. 1 Boy
1,400-1,800 riels per month. The "boy"is often a girl, in which case she is called a "boyesse"
Good stock.Nightclubs
Le Cambodge is the fanciest and most elaborate of the night spots and is stocked with taxi-girls.

Calling a girl a girl is sexist. That's was as true for 1957 as it is to this very day.hanky wrote:Boyesse? What's wrong with "girl?"No. 1 Boy

You may, however, call them "monsieur sans penis" if you wish.

I haven't read most of the handbook but it seems a pretty fair treatment of a country and its culture, without adding a political veneer.
The summary of Bhuddism is succinct and useful.
Great stuff, Barang. I've downloaded the PDF -- sure is easier to read.
