I don't get why my father is so hell bent on me visiting there before I leave. Maybe I'll eat some $50.00 hot wings too.<br /><br />Side note: the semantic difference between "third world" and "developing nation" is pretty muddled as is. Trying to rid language of the term "third world" due to its demeaning nature gave way to the more broad use of the term "developing nation," in order to refer to a similar situation. The term LDC (less developed county) is also used (and I'm pretty sure this is where Cambodia falls for the most part), and usually refers to things like GDP and standard of living, although there is no clear definition. I guess there's no sensitive term to use... developing, undeveloped, third world. They all kind of create this hierarchy based on economy and wealth, which is unfair. But yeah, just my two cents, because I find the language used to classify nations really interesting ^^Sydney LeVanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529429176734379768noreply@blogger.com
