I missed the sunrise when I was in Cambodia, so I went to Angkor Wat during sunset instead. It was amazing.
The place was almost empty. I walked around for over an hour while the remaining tourists left and then sat at the entrance and shared a beer with my driver. It was such a great experience. I don't think I took any photos either..
- FroshKiller 11y agoOff topic, but can you unpack "shared a beer with my driver" for me a little? Like, the two of you split a beer? Did you have the beer and offer some to your driver, or did your driver have the beer and offer some to you?
- Cyph0n 11y agoWhat difference does it make? Two people shared a beer, that's all.
- Mtinie 11y ago"Share a beer" is, as I've always used it, a shorthand expression for "shared time, conversation, and company with someone, while drinking beers". It's just a simple expression that takes the place of a bunch of concurrent activities.
- stinkytaco 11y agoIt's funny, because I've got a few pictures that sum up exactly what you said about this single expression. I don't have many, but I greatly value the pictures I've taken that retell the story of a certain event to me.
- derrickdirge 11y agoIn this context it doesn't usually imply that they literally both drank from a single beer. Just that they each drank a beer in one another's company.
- err4nt 11y agoRead as: “shared a beer break” Just like sharing a coffee doesn't literally mean drinking from a communal cup, but means taking a coffee break.
