The BP steps up it's game

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.

The BP steps up it's game

For quite a while there, the Bayon Pearnik seemed to be in an awful state. The articles were of such poor quality...badly written and apparently not edited, or even spell checked for that matter. They may as well have put out the same issue with only a change of cover picture each month. It was practically unreadable.

I looked at the June edition, available in pdf from their website. It's a much, much improved reading experience.

Thanks for the heads up- the article on the Hmong stronghold is particularly interesting with a few good pics!

I've read the Bayon and the Echo almost religiously since I've been here. Asia Life was added shortly after it came out. I don't read every article, but I do try to pick up a copy of each one every month. BP is certain the worst of the bunch. I think it's gone downhill the past 3 years or so. In my humble opinion, the political ramblings (super leftist... And who picks up a Cambodian magazine to read about US foreign policy anyways?!) and the weird story "continuations" kill it. Like, I haven't read the first 18 parts of your story so I'm highly unlikely to read it this time... Makes first time readers totally confused as well. The best part is the Horoscope. Has me laughing out loud every time. The pub page can be ok and the main article is hit and miss (70% miss I'd say). The Echo is much better and while Asia Life is good, it's a bit too upscale for my liking.
