    Cambodian Women's Attitudes and Cultural Differences

    Two personal accounts discuss the attitudes and cultural differences of ordinary Cambodian women. They emphasize that while Cambodian women are easy to get along with, they are not easily pursued due to their conservative nature, strong boundaries, and belief in karma. They observe men's respect towards them before reciprocating, unlike Chinese men who often develop a superiority complex due to their higher income. At work, they expect fair compensation for extra work. Culturally, Cambodians prioritize happiness and living in the moment, unlike Chinese people who tend to delay enjoyment until after work. Their independence is out of necessity due to low male income, and they have strong self-respect.
