Cambodia - Selfies

I've never really seen anything like this before. So many of the tourists in Cambodia seemed to be obsessed with and focussed solely on, taking pictures of themselves, rather than the place they were in. It really smacked of self obsession, vanity and egotism. Very strange. To me, when I'm somewhere on a trip, I'm the least interesting thing there is. What was also particularly noticeable was how so many people were walking around with their faces buried in their phones - all the time I was watching them. I do think that this is something we need to get over. It's not good for us.
