I am once again streetside in a wicker chair listening to Wu Tang coming out of the bar behind me and watching befuddled horny Westerners cruising as they walk, excited to be where sex is reputed to be so widely available for so cheap. Of course they are about a decade late but then we live in a world that sees baby-killing terrorist Nelson Mandela to be an icon of peace and reconcilliation...Child molesting homsexual and racist bigot Mahatma Ghandi as the epitome of humanity...Saintly Mother Theresa, the witch who beat Stage 5 cancer patients who requested familial visits...You must get my point by now. People usually accept whatever the media feeds them as if they are blind, deaf and dumb.
Up until 2005 there was a tiny village north of here along the banks of the Tonle Sap River. In the shacks there you could get a gorgeous woman all night for $2 US...or an 8 year old girl...or a 5-year old boy...Me? I have actually never had a prostitute and as for kids? Let us just say that if I saw such things I would probablly be dead cause I have zero doubt that I would flip and start killing. I find it THAT reprehensible. Yet Westerners are still flocking here for such things.
On the other hand there are European-funded and/or based NGOs that are baselessly accusing foreign men of paedophelia. Sometimes it is just overzealousness. They see a white man holding hands with a 5-year old Khmer kid and boom, they plaster the local media with lewid accusations. More times than I can count it has turned out to be a child's father or stepfather. Of course there are no mea culpas despite the fact that such men must immediately leave the country in fear that locals will recognise his face and lynch him.
