Someone mentioned ABA transfers, so I will add this . ABA do a special online transfer service to Philippines (where I'm stuck until can get back to Cambodia) Costs only $10 total and get the pesos in the bank here in one hour at exactly the live rate.

We had the correct ownership ratio 70...

A little pressure to the injured leg should get him singing like a bird about his 2 missing mates.

I was in SHV last year. We got a passapp to Vic hill as there are a couple of bars left. Tried the app just after 11pm. No one would come to take our request. Walked up to main st, they all lined up, parked withy their passapp tuk tuks. Not one would acknowledge the app. Only cash which when asked w...
