Wordless Wednesday #38 Drunken stupor?

drunken stupor


No, he's not really drunk.
He borrowed the whiskey bottle from another table and gamely posed for this shot :)
He is Long Dimanche, our Coordinator in the Prey Veng Pilot Project site. Being the head of the team on this part of Cambodia, he does all the preparations making sure everything is ready when I arrive to conduct workshops and meetings. After days of working in and with the community, we, locals and ex-pat staff alike, share what the locals call a solidarity dinner. Everyone gets cleaned up, all dust washed away, puts on new clothes, and wear our best smiles looking forward to a fun night. Dinner is usually accompanied by loads of karaoke singing (all Khmer songs), dancing, and drinks.

    Hey ZJ, I'm with Carletta. If I didn't know he was making like being drunk, I would have said he is saying, "Mmmm, Good."

    Happy WW! Thank you for the visit, I said in the first comment that this is my friend's car and dog. My Mustang is older and black, my dog is a beagle. We were visiting the vet and met him there doing vet things also.

    Haha, I agree with both of you. The smile gave it away :)
    Jim, my dog is a half-breed Keeshond and he loves being in the car, too. What's with dogs and cars, eh?

    Long dimanche = Long Sunday... his name reminds me of an audrey toutou film:)... i think the way he holds his mug of beer( i doubt it's whisky because the liquid is light-colored) gave it away... i think someone who has drunk almost half of that red label bottle won't be able to hold the mug that way *grins*... glad you have those solidarity dinner... one of the best way to forget about work at least for the night:)

    I'm glad the photo came with a story cause I was about to say... Step away from the bottle. Back away from the table. Now stay in one spot while I call you a cab.

    Excellent though... I'm loving the moment that you have captured.
