Showing up at work this morning, I was greeted by a giant pig.
Fat, red, (roasted?), and sweating, and facing the buddhist shrine.
The pig is in celebration of Chinese New Year. Almost 10% of Cambodians are ethnic Chinese, and they are an influential group.
It was a quiet day at work. When I came downstairs for lunch, the pig was gone.
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.
