Your Cold!!? Are You Kidding Me?

So I am walking around Poipet Cambodia looking for photographs. The weather in the streets is quite hot, but not melting hot its about 22-26 C. I am lightly sweating wearing my thin shirt and long pants but when I look at the Cambodians I am a surprised by their clothing. Many (most) Cambodians in Poipet are wearing a long sleeved shirt and also a  fall/spring (Canadian) style jacket.  Under a hot sun in 26C weather how the heck can you wear a hat, a long shirt and a heavier jacket like that?

Not all the people were wearing jackets, some were wearing short sleeve shirts and longer type shorts (knee length), I guess some Cambodian people can take the bitter frigid 26C temperatures without dressing up!
