Now the horror news, “Raju has had a $1450 hair cut”. The real story is now revealed along with Raju’s new head sans hair.
Recently Alan 'nearly bald' Dennes of Moorebank, challenged Raju to cut his longish hair in return for Australian $50 for Bethezer project in Cambodia. Since Raju is not some one who gets easily frighted by such a simple challenges like that had put up a counter-challenge to Moorebank friends that he would shave the head if suitable reward money is promised. Moorebank rose to the challenge, and came up with A$1450 to date to see Raju's shiny head.
So on that hot Monday 13 April afternoon, Josh and Sarah witnessed hapless Raju sitting all sweaty on the barber’s chair in a 'beauty shop' on Monivong Boulevard in Phnom Penh, getting his hair cut bit by bit. Josh even took a ‘around the head’ video to mark the historic occasion. Out came Raju without any hair on his head, all looking like a skinned fat duck. An orange robe would have made him look like another new accidental monk. What a way to start the Khmer New Year!

Three Positives out of this:
- Bethezer get A$1450.
- No more bad hair day for the new monk for the foreseeable future,
- Sarah can even wink at the new Monk without offending anyone.
Strange the shiny head got too hot in Phnom Penh and within 24 hours it got frozen in Sydney. What pains some one goes through...ha ha.
Da Monk of Kirirom
PS: Someone has challenged Michael to shave his hair on the head for Bethezer. Reward is 1,000,000 Riel (one Million Riel). Let us see if a new Monk Michael can be created
