Apple underwear

One day on our recent vacation to the seaside town of Kep, Matt and I pulled off to the side of the road to check out a little eating establishment.  This guy was asleep in front of the little shop with his iPhone underwear on display just begging to be photographed.  I quietly approached with my camera and he never woke up.



When we returned from the trip, I showed our housekeeper the pictures I had taken. When we came to this picture, she thought I took it because of an aesthetic appreciate for young men.  I didn't have the right vocabulary to explain that this picture was taken because it struck a cord with my foreign sense of humor.

The same thing had happened before when I showed her the pictures from another trip I had taken to the charming town of Battambong to meet up with Matt who was there for work.

 
I thought this was a great shot of a young Cambodian man talking on his cell phone by the river front, but she thought I was into the guy in the picture.  Hopefully one day soon I'll have the language skills to explain myself better.  It's hard to be convincing when you can barely speak.

For the record, Matt is the only one that makes me swoon.  I'll end this post with a picture of him from our recent trip, taken after we came across some mannequins. When the housekeeper saw this, she laughed and laughed. "He's wearing hair!  He's wearing hair, ha ha ha ha!"
