Our last night in Phnom Penh, we turned on the TV in our luxurious room (AC! Fridge! TV! Free laundry!) and encountered a kung fu movie involving a child monk, an old and wizened master, and a villain with spiky shoulder pads. The action sequences were not great, but the English subtitles were fantastic entertainment:
“The teacher empty senior the big defeats thief’s person greatly and courageously.”
“Higher than that thief’s person’s effort… That why would you be anti- to win. So a should have another to losing a teacher sad BE is not. However I still needed to give public recognition today empty. The is empty you beat today the very brave dozen have to be good.”
“The first teacher can teach me a to recruit extremely. The second teacher can give me adjust a bed. Master’s elder brother’s feet were too smelly.”
“This still doesn’t hurt that on the whole how just hurt on the whole. I have already dashed in to chase little LIN2 SI4 YI2 as flat ground.”
