Cambodians don't have a lot compared to almost everyone in Australia, but they are generally happy to share what they have.

Put your phone away, or on silent, grab a pack of cards and play solitaire. It's quite relaxing. I bought a cute pack of cards while I was on holidays and played quite a bit.

I have found Cambodian people to be very polite - they smile, offer friendly greetings, and enthusiastically thank you. Being polite shows that you value and respect others. It doesn't cost you anything to be polite. Here are some ways you can be considerate of others:
- hold the door open for someone
- say hello
- say please and thank you
- let someone go in front of you
- give up your seat on the bus or train
- take your phone call outside
- put your phone away and give people your full attention
- don't interrupt people when they're talking.

One of the greatest lies of the developed world is that the more you have, the happier you'll be. The truth is that having money and stuff doesn't make you happy. I have met people in Cambodia who live in the slums and have very little who are happier than people who live in in mansions and have a lot. We are constantly bombarded with advertisements that tell us we need the latest gadgets and fashions, the fanciest holidays, houses and cars... But when you get those things you don't feel happy or even content. In fact, having too much stuff causes clutter, which makes you unhappy.
