Looks like traffic along Riverside has improved today... The traffic lights have been turned off .
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Water Festival 10-12 November 2019
With all these condoms being distributed by the government how are the local condom cops going to find evidence that unauthorized prostitution has occurred?CEOCambodiaNews wrote:The authorities are staying realistic, stay protected !
Water festival: Stay Covered
500,000 condoms distributed to citizens in Phnom Penh
(Nov 03, 2019 2:14 pm)
It is observed that every year, as long as Cambodia holds the Royal Water Festival, or the Bon Om Touk Festival, the authorities always distribute Ok condoms to a large number of people free of charge
Now back to the topic at hand...

In order to fully appreciate the pun((in case you've not yet figured it out) ao plien or raincoat in English is Cambodian slang for prophylactic.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 9:22 pm The authorities are staying realistic, stay protected !

Some people have expressed doubts over the distribution of condoms, but in fact, the authorities are being realist because people from the provinces will come to Phnom Penh, and during that time sex will inevitably occur. That's why Phnom Penh health authorities are offering 500,000 free condoms to prevent sexually tranmitted diseases, in particular HIV or AIDS.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Re: Water Festival 10-12 November 2019
I had a similar experience except while heading back home after meeting a friend for an early dinner, I and anyone else heading away from the river had to squeeze through the masses of people heading toward the river. We had to walk in an ant line single file to get out and I thought that if some one stumbles, they're going to get trampled.SternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 3:22 pm I took that photo above in 2010. ^^
I watched big chunks of the racing over three days, wandered back to my hotel about 6pm Monday afternoon, just after the event had finished, and sent off an email to a friend.
It said something like this-
"we just had 1 million people on the riverbank for three days, from all over the country, packed into a small area. I could not believe how pleasant, peaceful and good humoured it all was - only in Cambodia"
An hour later 450 were dead from a stampede.
Finally, I reached an open area and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, shortly after reaching my apartment, I started hearing sirens. So, I turned on the TV and saw a bit of footage of those trapped on the bridge before turning it off.
Not a particularly cheery memory.
