Re: A/C America

I had a similar problem in the UK but with excessive heating especially on public transport. I'd wrap up warm and stamp my feet at the bus stop or train station. Sometimes there'd be a metal bench to sit on. These are highly conductive and suck the warmth out of your body as if you're sitting on a b...

Re: The Little Things

#1- I've lived in the same building for 5 years with no increase in rent. My landlord is happy to have regular income from a quiet tenant. #2- Pretty common. There was a coffee shop I visited daily for 2 years, which abruptly closed. No notice or 'thank you for your custom'. #3- Carry correct change...

Re: Gaming Center in Phnom Penh

There's a gaming centre with consoles in S'ville that caters to western tourists and I think I saw a café in BKK1 (St 310?) w/ consoles. You might be better off focusing on the PCs at first and then expand into consoles. I'd definitely like to play some PS4 games if you set it up, especially if you ...

Re: No

This is why it's a bad idea to stop and try to help people in accidents, etc. If you stop and help them in Cambodia the police will say, "why did he stop to help if he isn't guilty. And I'm not saying this Khmer-American isn't guilty of something, I'm just pointing out the police logic here. I...

Re: Bar Association Says Foreign Lawyers are Working Illegal

“If they continue to deliver legal services, we will take legal measures, which, based on Cambodia’s law, means they could be sent to jail or face cash penalties for continuing their illegal operations in Cambodia,” he said. Time to lawyer up. http://randomstory.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/human...

Re: England plunged into darkness

I know I'm missing something obvious here, but wouldn't poor street lighting be likely to lead to an increase in crime. Normally when someone makes a counterintuitive claim you'd expect them to provide some evidence or justification. Newspapers however will publish anything and everything so long a...

Re: England plunged into darkness

I fully support this. There's no need for this ugly light pollution in many residential areas after midnight anyway. They should turn off traffic lights when there's no traffic also.
