It was holiday yesterday in celebration of Internation Human Rights Day. I heard that the Cambodian Government requires all companies to pay 300% overtime pay to their employees on this kind of holiday. It order to lessen the labor cost, the management decided to have overtime on Sunday which will cost them only 200%. So I was able to freely left the office at exactly 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I went to Canadia as I want to call my family back home. Here in Canadia you can find internet phones which cost only Riel 200 per minute or USD0.05/min call to Philippines. Unfortunately I was not able to talk to my father but at least I was able to greet my brother who will be celebrating his birthday on the 12th. I was also able to talk to my mother. I tried to call my friend but I guess she already left her office.
After the phone calls, I dropped by in the apartment of on of my colleague and her husband. With two more Filipinos, after dinner we had some beer. I finished off 3 cans of Asahi beer. I feel a little bit dizzy but still able to go home safely. Thank God. Sometimes, you just want to experience new atmosphere and enjoy other peoples company.
