Walking in the rain

A friend told me today that umbrellas are not common in Cambodia.

She said that people use raincoats, and do not mind getting wet.

People do not use umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun either.

Hmm. This is a potential culture-shock for us, since we try to stay dry even when it rains.

What is your experience about this?

I had a good experience.

It rained heavily when I finished lunch at GT Cafe. The manager of the cafe had a small stock of umbrellas to share. He lent me one, and sent one of his staff with me to take the umbrella back to the shop after seeing me to my destination.
