Cambodian mindset

I heard two interesting comments this week.

1. "If you have land, wind and water, you are not poor".  Apparently, many Cambodians think that they are needy and ask for help.  However, the person/people who make this comment think that they are more self-sustainable than what they think of themselves.
   
   
2. "Cambodians are coming back to their country but Filipinos are not".  Apparently, many Cambodians left their homeland for "greener pastures".  So did Filipinos.  However, as the country developed, many Cambodians see a reason to go back to their country of origin.

It is interesting to hear these expressed.  Have you any other quips to share about the way the people think?
