Was a very good friend of mine joy to the world all across the world haha okay so I have come to discovered that its frog hunting season with a few odd sequence of events ever notice how that seems to happen… so ill take you back a week ago a baby frog escaped in my room I tried to look for him but no such luck however a few days later I found the poor little guy dead. Then while I was sitting studying Khmer a huge frog different species from the baby one as far as I could tell not that im a reptile specialist it was supper good climber but this time I was able to help it to escape which I thought was for the best to only discover… the very next day I see my host siblings with home made what I thought was fishing poles however they were fishing in puddles around the house and im sitting there trying to figure out how in the hell they think they are going to catch fish in puddles until they start to catch frogs. Im still not quite sure as to how they got the frogs to bite onto the hook but they got some big suckers and all I could think was that I should had let that cool little big frog just stay chances are the frog hunters will get him I told my tutor that in America people have frogs as pets he though this was very funny. My host brother made sure I got to see the skinning of the frogs he caught deff creepy but now when I see what looks like home made fishing poles I know its for frogs and most of the kids around town seem to have them so I will refer to oct as frog hunting season not just for humans either snakes have been feasting to. I made a new friend on one of my long walks out into the middle of nowhere my attempt to get to know the community but this guy lived in America but grew up in Cambodia once he got divorced moved back anyways I ended up talking with him for a while and he informed me that this weird sound that I always thought was a mating call or something in the rice fields was the hug bull frogs being eaten by a snake just odd bc the sound goes on for like 30 mins I would thing the snake would eat the frog faster but I guess not. It was also funny talking to this guy bc despite growing up in Cambodia he was telling me how hard it was for him to re adjust when coming back and how he doest like the food makes me feel a little bit better to know that if a native doesn’t like how gamie the meat taste that its not all because im a picky eater.
