Funny times, funny things

It has been an interesting 24 hours or so.
Last night I was out in Phnom Pehn and was going to grab some street food with this Australian guy. A street kid came to ask for money, we straight up refused but offered him food. Few minutes later he was sitting with us enjoying some fresh water clams. Few of his friends came by asking for money also. Same routine, but these two claimed not to be hungry. The first boy told us it's because of the glue they sniff. After we made the first boy order some food from the stall for him ("You eat what you want, we pay!") we told him to tell his friends to come also. After five minutes of resisting we have 3 boys in our table happily drinking some Samurai (local strawberry flavour energy drink) and eating away rice and stuff. Not hungry? I would say that was the first proper meal these boys had in a while.
It felt good to get these boys to eat something and must have looked funny to the locals having 2 western guys and 3 small boys sitting in tiny plastic chairs laughing and eating.
Now already in Kuala Lumpur in my homely Birdnest GH and tummy fully of yummy indian.
Few things has changed here. New stores and guesthouses has popped up, a lot of road and other construction going on and few new Indian Ladymen (because these guys are well past their "boy" age) patrolling the streets in the evening. Even Bakti woodlands had raised prices, but luckily the food was as good as ever.
Tomorrow will be my last day in asia for a while. Lets see if I get as funny feeling as I did when I was leaving PP airport this morning. I got a vivid flashback of the feeling I had when first arriving there. And that felt like ages ago.
