Re: What is the benefit of living in Cambodia, instead of Thailand or Vietnam?

I would love to know because I am struggling to see it.

Re: trump in Bangkok

It's funny, but disturbing at the same time. You can barely trust anything you see in the news as it is, but at least if you see a politician making a speech on tv you can be pretty sure it happened.

Re: Recommended MOVIES

Manhunter (1986)


It apparently inspired the Silence of the Lambs movies; and the parallels are clear

Thank you very much for...
