I’ve listened and read this thread in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. iPhones are miraculous. The reason I’m here is that 13 years ago I was sitting in a cafe in this same city and a 10 year old girl walked thru selling books. I said ‘no’ to the books and then asked ‘Are you hungry?’ She nodded and looked at the floor. I called the waitress over and she ate.

Yesterday she cooked me a meal in the new house she and her new husband have built in their home village. She said the meal was the same that she ordered 13 years ago. Beyond comprehension.
