"Dollar, dollar"

In a similar vein to my previous post, in retrospect I regret not giving this girl any currency for her effort in rowing out to our boat on Tonle Sap lake, Cambodia, in a ... tub?

 

We were warned by our tour guide not to give money and even though we heeded that advice, sure enough we were soon approached by other craft bearing small children and snakes. It is nevertheless difficult to resist the pleas of a young child for "dollar, dollar".

 

If I had this time again, I would prefer to ignore the guide's advice and pay the dollar(s), rather than feel guilty for the rest of my life that I didn't.
