Haitians eat dirt cookies to survive?

Discussions about restaurants, cafes, coffee shops or bars in Cambodia. Feel free to write any reviews you have, whether its the best burger you've had in Phnom Penh or the worse pizza in Kampot, we want to read it! Discussions about Khmer dishes are also in here, or you can leave your own. If you own a restaurant, feel free to let the expat community know about it here so that we can come check it out. Found a favorite cafe or have a place we should avoid? Tell us about it. Asian recipes & questions are always welcome.

Yeah......you've been struck by your government, and you should produce a little more than just rice for self-support.
Then you should look up what we are currently growing.

I think Haiti is poorer than Cambodia for the fact that we are bigger than Haiti in term of land size. We can grow rice for self-support we have never been struck by major natural disaster like earth quake and volcano.

No I would rather think that Cambodia is lucky to be located in SAE, between Thailand and Vietnam and under China's shadow.
Take any war torned country in Africa without natural ressources, 30 years after fighting resumed chances are it is still a shithole.

I don't think we are talking benefits from both Thailand and Vietnam. I think these two countries are taking benefit from us, for example we import a lot of stuff from two countries and what they imported from us was raw material in low price in which later were processed to become finished products to export to Europe or other developed countries in higher price.

China, this giant country is destroying Cambodia natural resources like timber and many other mines.

It is not necessary to grow green tomato in Cambodia since it is not our staple foods, we eat RICE. Despite from that we do grow many vegetables. I suggest you to have a ride to Kandal province. I hope you won't ask me why we didn't grow apple. :facepalm:

Samouth do you think all the factories came here for the pleasure of doing business in Cambodia ? Productivity is among the worst for any industries.
They came because of western incentives (weaver of import taxes mainly) but even that isn't sufficient (you don't see them going much to Haiti, Africa or Madagascar etc). IMO They came because the regional environment is much safer for business.

I agree with you that Thailand and Vietnam benefitted from Cambodia but I do think that Cambodia benefited far more from them to be where it is today.

Samouth, don’t pay too much attention to aD He is too impressed with himself.

He’s a dogmatic bigot, who, because he’s a patient, now thinks he’s a doctor.
He a condescending bitch boy and reminds me of my best friend’s wife.
