Staring at cellphones, a universal disease. These three ladies work at our plastic recycling plant. Good friends, they often hang out together, and sometimes, I tag along so I can be taken to places I wouldn't normally go to. Plus, it's pleasant to be around lovely women.

In Ea Kly, there's a nice café that's often empty because it also houses a tiny hotel, with rooms rentable by the hour. Locals don't want to be suspected of having a sexual fling just because they had a cup of coffee.

Once, I went in there with these three, plus one of their daughters, so I joked, "Tomorrow, they can all say brother Linh went into the hotel with three women!"

"Plus a little girl!" one of them added.

"Yes, what a sick dude!" I laughed. They all laughed.

They're all married, with children.
