T / from the maddened crowd

I often find myself thriving from the energy others. Crowds are even better. Match that with one of the biggest concerts to hit Cambodia this year (or ever), a couple of top notch artists (one of whom was designed and styled by Cait) and a crowd of young Cambodians just rocking it out, . I’m there like a vampire. So this past Saturday at the Jessie J and Laura Mam concert hosted by SMART mobile, I found myself in the crowds. And in these situations, I can never really stand still. So with my cammy cam in hand, I started wandering, trying to capture some of that energy and all the excitement. When I first arrived in Cambodia eight years ago, an event of this magnitude was unheard of. A Western artist? They could only be pulled in by acts of charity and some noble cause. That happened once. A decade later, the youth of Cambodia, a majority of the population, are emerging as a force in media markets. The record companies are listening. And fun and selfie sticks will be had by all.
