Beggam
When I was in Laos, people on the street kept saying a word to me that I didn’t recognize … it sounded something like “beggam”. Because I had only learned the words “hello” and “thank you”, I had no idea what they were saying, so I just smiled and kept walking.
Strangely, though, I have been having the same experience here in Cambodia … people keep walking up to me on the street and saying, in a completely different language, “beggam”. Perplexed, I decided that I had to figure out what on earth they were saying!
Then, as I looked in the mirror this morning, I realized what the word was … Beckham. I guess that’s what I get for traveling around Asia looking like this!

I am happy to know that you’ve got your things back.

This photo was taken as I was entering Laos over a week before a left it in Siem Reap, Cambodia. But yes, I did get my things back. Thanks for worrying for me, I guess.
