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: Bye-Bye Tonlie Sap
Jesus... Just what we need, a Chinese-styled ghost town. Having a place with actual urban planning (albeit Chinese urban planning) would be a step up from Phnom Penh I guess, but I can imagine it simply being bought out by rich khmers as an investment and left there for years with barely a soul living inside.

Re: Bye-Bye Tonlie Sap
I'm learning all sorts of new words these days: RURBAN
"Peri-urban areas (also called rurban space, outskirts or the hinterland) aredefined by the structure resulting from the process of peri-urbanisation. It can be described as the landscape interface between town and country, or also as the rural—urban transition zone where urban and rural uses mix and often clash."

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."

The ideal place for a glittering new
satellite city would be next to the DK-era
unused (?) airport at Kompomh Chhnang

Re: Bye-Bye Tonlie Sap
We have a glittering new satellite city gently rusting away in SHV. Pearl City. Nice big estate, all the houses were finished back in 2014. Never occupied. It's all slowly crumbling to bits whilst they tiddle around finishing the skyscraper. I saw about half a dozen people up the top with torches and maybe a welding rig the other day, so it'll be about 2030 when it's finished. Compare that to the new building going up on Ekareach by the lions, another Chinese tower of some sort but they have people working it 24/7, so over the last couple of months it's shot up. Perhaps another addition to the under-represented casino market here.

Re: Bye-Bye Tonlie Sap
What was the story behind that, other than it being built in the arse-end of town by Russians, I assume. Seems to be them mostly trying to flog them, anyhow. It's looked like a dump for at least three years now. It was certainly a bit out the way when they hadn't finished the last chunk of Mittapheap St to Otres. Other comical building sites to visit is the aeroplane building on the hill. You can go in and look at classic cars. You have to go in as the windows are all scratched and knackered now, you can see bugger all through them. Are they for sale? Is it a museum? No idea.SinnSisamouth wrote:went to villas the other day. what shit hole

Re: Bye-Bye Tonlie Sap
re cars on hill
reminds me of the haynes museum in the uk. sort of a working collection.
are you saying you could not afford the 2000 reil (or whatever it is) to go and look,where you would have seen they are all for sale?

Re: Bye-Bye Tonlie Sap
I wondered if there was a fee, I only went up there because about two years go there was supposed to be a restaurant and we were at a loss as to where my wife could sting me for a Valentine's meal. Young Sergey scooted past me on his moto, giving someone a backie.
