left our jobs, went to Asia

Sunday. Time for some time in front of TV. These moments are very rare during the last few years for me. Not because I can't spare a minute, its just that its much more and useful things to do with a laptop and/or internet.

Anyway, television is part of culture, and since we are in different culture each month during our travels, it can be interesting to gaze for a few minutes.

It's only minutes in Cambodia, because the quality of the programs is, at best, at the start up level. It's either talking heads, or karaoke concerts with effects in style of 80-ies videoclips.

But, one can't ask much, knowing the situation of the country. Furthermore, I was even able to find some advanced features like karaoke with Khmer writings and latin alphabet transcriptions at the same time, probably ment for foreigners.

We don't have such a "service" in the country I come from, which is in EU.

Some of the pieces are plain funny, just like the one above. It is some kind of a song, performed by man and a woman. When the woman sings, it fells alright, even meditative. But as soon as she does a break, the man starts to do some strange movements with his hands. He's not singing, and overall he looks like he wants to get off the scene as soon as possible.

Does not seem like he is a good performer at all. In fact, he seems like not knowing what to do. Got to perform because of sponsors or relatives in television?

If the piece is deeply traditional, carries a ceremonial or any other meaning, I apologize in advance. Just my opinion.
