Bank trippin'

I went to the bank this morning. It was sweltering at 8am. The phrase "rainy season" implies rain but so far we have seen precious little of it. Anyway the bank - again I went to Foreign Exchange to get the legal currency of Cambodia after the bank gave me dollars. When finished I waited in the car for the other girl and saw a weapons exchange in front of the bank. Two security guards had a few guns between them and exchanged two of them. Then an older man slipped a large bribe into hand of the bank guard. It was quite discrete but I had a vantage point. So I witness one former devastating issue - gun sales - and the current largest issue halting the development of Cambodia - corruption. All early in the morning.
