For the past week, I've had a motorcycle driver whose nickname is "Toro". He's a nice guy who laughs a lot and speaks good English. He helps with translation, makes suggestions about Phnom Penh, and drives me around. We talk about our families, the weather, contemporary Cambodian history (he is a big fan of Prince Sihanouk, but not the Thai or Vietnamese). His previous ward was a UN elections guy, possibly of a high rank.
Quite a career progression, from a UN election commissioner to Ben Magarik from Brooklyn.
