In this Just for fun thread, we would like to highlight unconventional customs which make Cambodia stand out. This is a chance, at the same time, to learn about other countries equally interesting traditions.

1. Which country considers cats to be lucky? How about Cambodia?
2. In which country should you not write in red ink?
3. Is there anything like a 15-minute grace period in Cambodia or is showing up on time or earlier a common practice?
4. In which country do people greet each other by rubbing noses?
5. What is one custom associated with Cambodian culture that you have found to be quite unusual?

Thanks for participating,
Diksha

As with the Cambodian folktales, I am very interested to know this stuff but no one seems to be responding. Can you give the info, Diksha? Thanks. Be well, Tenzin
