Favorite Sports in Village - Senior Playing Boules | Kids Jumping Rubber Band | Meet up Friend

IMG_20230209_145708_484.jpg
Greetings everyone! My friends asked me if I wanted to join them at the soccer field, and I said yes right away! So, I hopped on my motorcycle and here I am at the meeting place where is located in the army fortress in my village. It's close to 5pm, but players are playing soccer today, so we just decided to hang out on the grass - the temperature is perfect for it.

We sat on the grass together and started talking about our lives, health and what happened yesterday. We had a lot of fun communicating and chatting away with each other. During to the good atmosphere, we continue to sit there and waiting for sunset. But, as long as we wait, it still seems like we didn't witness of any little clue or shadow of sunset.

Happy Girls Jumping Rubber Band

Rubber Band game was one of my childhood game that I play at school with my friends, so fun at that time and my legs work usual and I jumped higher than now.

This rubber game, we have to invite at least three people: one to jump and two to stand. Related to this, I want to share with you how kids in city life enjoy this game. Last months when I visit my friend house in the city, her kids doesn't have many friends so she used the pillar, she find the two pillar in her house and tie the rubber with it and she start to jump from one time to another time. By seeing this, it make me feel like she should have more friends playing with her so that she won't be alone. I think I would spend sometime visiting my friend house again and invited her to visit my village and play with this lovely kids in village which must be the fun things.

Sophea was jumping really high - even higher than my head! It made me think that if she did this regularly, it would make her stronger and perhaps even help her grow taller.

They are a family with each other. As there is a little kid who is the grandson of them, they take care of him everywhere he goes and take his hand towards me because I said to them, "Oh, I actually make a blog, can I get some pictures of you both?" My friend starts to drop the smiles.

Well, his parents hadn't returned home yet, so the grandparents had to wait for them before heading off to the wedding party in the village, which they'd been invited to. To ensure the boy wasn't left alone at home, they have to accompany him.

He was heading over to where some kids were playing on the grass, but his grandma stopped him as he didn't wear any shoes - walking on the grass barefoot could have caused a problem.

His grandpa drove the motorbike around the sides of the roads, exposing his grandson to the people and nature of the environment. This was an opportunity for him to learn more about village life while he is still young.

Senior Man Throwing Boules

Boules was one sport that was commonly played by seniors in my village. The players usually found a good place where there was smooth land with a little grass so that they could throw it easier.

Along the road is land where people grow pandan, and now the pandan has grown a lot, so I guess it might be time to sell and transfer it to the market trader. Obviously, I stop here for a second after seeing some of the men enjoy playing boules.

This place here provided both good land and a great atmosphere; I am actually aware that they also put money down so that the winner will get the money; most of the people playing are the Cambodian army, who are resting from their work and are now enjoying playing boules in their free time.

The dark green shirt is known as the army, and most of them are my childhood friends. He actually gave a thumbs up while seeing me at the back taking photos of them.

As this is a small village, everything seems to be closely connected, and when I accidentally saw him again, I thought that he had already gone back home and was preparing for the party, but he was still here. He said he just continued watching his friends for another five minutes because it was the only day of the week that the army could relax so as not to miss this opportunity.

This game, I could say, also depends on intelligence; the player actually has to prepare himself to stand in the right direction and keep their eyes seriously on the goal to hit the boules.

Playing boules requires people to invite many people to join. But, some of them here don't play but enjoy watching others play instead; as their house is located nearby, they bring a chair and sit there, watching patiently, and their jaws actually drop when someone wins the matches.

It is a pretty cool game, as a kid it is easy to find somebody to play with us like this, but not until we turn older, not anyone of my friends enjoy this anymore. Actually, this jumping game improve the strength, I think everybody will find it as a good game.

Today worlds, I find it rare to see some kind of games like this in the city, but friend if you would like to see those childhood thing, I think you should go to rural area or village, well in my village there are many things involved with my childhood memories.

They usually enjoy boules as a fun sport at the holidays as they are an army, not much time free. At that time, I guess it must be a good time for them. Thanks for stopping by!
