Paying the electric bill in Siem Reap, Cambodia
It was time to pay the electric bill. Unlike back home in Australia, where you can easily pay your electric on the phone, in Siem Reap, Cambodia you go to the electric office to pay your bill.
There is no real queue system. Everyone just stands by the bars and shuffles up closer until they make eye contact with the cashier and are prompted to begin the transaction.
I am not sure why but this time my husband @philippekiene was ushered right to the front and had our bill paid in less than 5 minutes of being there. We were thankful because it is quite the sweaty affair in that office.
What I love about living abroad is the little things, like paying an electric bill or going shopping is will be guaranteed to be a new adventure.

Jeez. This is way worse than Panama, which doesn't seem that bad these days. It really amazes me how little value is placed on people's time in poor countries. The inefficiencies that come with completing even simple tasks in these places are ludicrous.

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes even the simplest tasks can take hours. But we can buy water with an app and have it delivered.... slowly but surely lol.

We aren't so bad here in Malaysia, at least at the post office, and most people will not stand for it. The cutting queue.
Nice that you don't let it frustrate you.

I had to pay my grandma’s bill in Tijuana, Mex before and you pay at a machine that’s located at the grocery store.
I was all baffled talking in Spanish to a machine and using pesos. The people behind me were annoyed cause I took so long...
