Beggars, Everywhere

Everywhere we go, kids and adults too actually, hassle us. They try to sell us tuk-tuk rides, scarves, books, t-shirts, fruit, food etc. On top of this, beggars are on every corner, most have been injured from land mines - so are blind, have missing limbs and some are even quadraplegic. Its hard to say no at times.

The little kid pictured worked the busy food strip of Siem Reap. His main strategy was to run around shirt-less and literally attach himself to any western looking tourist. Everyone would fall for his cute looks, and stop to give him a little lift or hug. Jeremy went so far as to buy him a tin of powdered milk, which we assume will be used to feed his siblings.
