Ailsa’s travel theme this week is ‘mask’. Here’s her link
On this particular day a couple of years ago, I was about to catch a bus from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, when this masked man appeared at the bus door.
His piecing stare said, “Buy a pair of my glasses…please”.
So I did. I bought a $5 pair of Ray-bans. Although I couldn’t see his mouth behind his mask, his eyes were smiling and I knew that my purchase had made him happy.
Oh and for the record, they lasted almost a week before they broke 🙂
Sometimes it is good to just say yes. I am sure you made him smile a great deal. Wonderful how you can tell if people are smiling even when you can’t see their lips. 🙂

You probably got 3 days more use out of the glasses than you anticipated. 🙂
