In reality hardly any signs in chinese inside the mall. 80% stores are western and international chains, few local shops and some chinese ones. Even the mall is managed by western run company.

Anyone been there yet?

Is it well managed like AEON? Or the typical Khmer style mess like Olympia Mall?

Hopefully with now stuff to do, the denizens of China city will commit fewer crimes.

People have been out and about all through the period, there haven't been any lock-downs like other countries.

I didn't realize that! How do the people in the region account for the lack of predicted outbreaks, considering there was no lock-down? When I consider China's reaction, a complete and total lock-down for 2 months, versus Cambodia's lack of a lock-down, it's quite amazing that both countries have been spared the troubles of Europe and North and South America. COVID remains a mystery, doesn't it.

Go to the mall and pretend you are in a normal country, forget all about how it looks like a flooded garbage-strewn version of Aleppo outside. Drink fancy coffees in a bland environment and feel sophisticated before stepping back into the swamp.

Only people coming in through the airports are tested before they go, on arrival, and then 14 days later. Therefore with everyone else, no need to test. Quintessential Khmer strategy.

People die of wind in Cambodia.

Either lack of wind, or too much wind.
Then heart attack.

During the height of the virus, while Wuhan was on lockdown, flights from surrounding area of Wuhan continued to arrive in the Kingdom of Wonder. Cambodia is magical. The virus dies on arrival.

Sorry for being so tongue-in-cheek.

There probably is truth to being outside, and warm, humid weather, preventing virus spread. But there’s no way to know without mass testing.
