RE: The Surname Game--Is Society Ready to Change How We Handle Last Names Upon Marriage?
That is a very interesting story. I had no idea it was like that where you live (Cambodia, right?). What an amazing relationship your culture has with names. Thank you so much for sharing.
My absolute pleasure! As for myself: I live in Europe and I was born here. Both my parents are Khmer and came to Europe as refugees. I have lived in Cambodia for a half a year, but it wasn't really significant culturally :)
Ah, I should have guessed you weren't born there. Your English is perfect. I know some people who were born in India, but moved here when they were only five or six years old, and they still have really thick accents and their English skills are decent, but it's still sometimes hard to understand them.
The culture of Khmer itself sounds really interesting.
