This woman and I spoke no common language when I was visiting her village in Krang Yaw, Cambodia. She spent a few minutes explaining what she was doing and how her day was going, and I understood every word.

Have you been to Cambodia? What did you think? Please share below.
I experienced the “unspoken language” when I was a kid visiting family in Germany. It is pretty amazing how you can communicate in different ways when one is forced to think outside the box. 🙂
Truly! And I think not speaking a common language shouldn’t make us afraid of approaching people.
A lovely photo! I adored Cambodia – I found many of the people so open, so willing to share their lives. This image really sums it up for me 🙂
Thanks! Cambodians are definitely warm and gracious people. Well, all the ones I met at least 🙂
