Thanks for featuring my article of disdain for the restaurants here.
Before I even opened this post I was thinking that a water buffalo is far more appropriate in this country than a bull would be. I've never seen a bull here but at least where I lived in Thailand the water buffalos were all over the place.
Ever seen the water-buffalo fights? They jokingly refer to it as "Muay Quai" in Thailand after the martial art of Muay Thai. "Quai" just means buffalo in Thai.

My pleasure of course. I haven't had much time to post or engage lately because we've been dealing with visa issues and a host of other things, but life goes on. I need to catch up on all of your blog posts because I've only had time to read one here and there.
I have never heard of buffalo fights, can't even imagine them exerting any unnecessary effort. Gonna keep this in mind next time I dive into the rabbit hole on YouTube.
I think these particular buffalo are goaded into it. They just lock horns or bump heads over and over again until one of them gives up. It seems rather inhumane but at least both of the animals survive. It isn't like the running of the bulls where they slowly exhaust a bull and stab it over and over again killing it over the course of several hours.
Geez, that's intense. Here in Cambodia when "water buffalo" is used as slang, it's generally a teacher talking down to a slow student. Nobody wants to get called a water buffalo by the teacher.
