She ain't messing with no.....

"Some Cambodian girls, they don't like to marry young men. They like to marry old men. Do you know why?"

"Uh...money?" I said.

"Yes" said my moto driver as we sped along the bumpy dirt roads of Cambodia at uncomfortable speed. Would it kill someone to invent seat belts for motorcycles? "A lot of Cambodia girls like money. They want to date a rich man. So they have nice things and don't have to do too much. Not all of the girls. Just some of them."

"Yeah", I said. "That happens in America too. We call them 'gold-diggers'."

"Goal Diggas?"

"GOLD. Digger. Someone who is digging for gold. Looking to get rich. Gold digger."

"oh. ok. golD Digga"

"Yes. So next time tourists come and you are showing them around, and you want to tell them about Cambodian women, you can tell them that Cambodian women are gold diggers. They will know what you mean. Ok?"

"Ok"

Ahhh...educating the masses.
