atm christmas

From Christmas in Cambodia


I'm not entirely sure why, but all the banks here are absolutely exploding with Christmas cheer. Maybe they want us to be filled with the generosity of the season as we grudgingly take out our ever-dwindling funds.

I am happy, by the way, that Phnom Penh has a bunch of functioning and reasonably safe ATMS. I will always remember with a jaundiced eye that Indian ATM that shocked the snot out of me on a rainy day. I grabbed the front desk guy, took him over, and pointed to the ATM with a damning finger: he touched it, also got BZZAAPPEED, and stared at it for a moment. Then he shrugged. "Oh well, madame," he said. Oh well.
