I love it that it's so made up, women with full makeup harvesting rice :D
Good observation, Nalika! I was so busy staring at the food that I missed the makeup!
Upon further viewing, I also noticed the absence of tobacco! The menfolk would definitely be smoking...
Alright, I was wrong about that last one. There is one quick shot of a couple of guys taking a smoke after they stop working.
hmmm, at 2:00? I can't tell if it's tobacco smoking or chewing fermented tea (mien in Thai).Is it a country-theme popular karaoke, or some government propaganda thing showing "happy, living in harmony" farmers? :-)
oh and I wonder what the phone numbers are for, there's a number for USA!
It looks like a Khmer market in Long Beach.http://tinyurl.com/26qsvz4Maybe a US distributor for the VCDs?Interesting idea on the fermented tea. Could be-- I am not familiar with it and never saw it in Kampong Thom. But then, I did not get out of the village very often!
