A story on Smokin

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

A story on Smokin

Post by Duncan »

Well really a story on ''smoke in'' the air. But this morning on my early morning walk as I breathed in the air, I remembered back to the 1950 and 60 and how I could smell the salt watery air first thing in the morning as it blew in from the coast a few miles away.

Yep, that's where I lived , house on far RH side'

Now when I go for a walk I can smell this.

Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

And the dust in the air that is produced from over loaded trucks dropping sand/soil on the road for vehicles to churn up!!!

Have a look early in the morning at sun rise and at sun set and you do not see a nice yellow sun, no, it is obscured by dust in the air. This country must be the biggest dust bowl in the world.

City Hall have a new street sweeping machine, so that problem of dirt on the side of the road problem ,, has been solved.

Not even close from my experience! But I do agree that it's definitely getting worse.
