ANZAC Day at the Embassy - oi! oi! oi!

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Normally you have to contact the embassy prior to the 25th and provide them with the names of those attending.

A very good service the last couple of years, rum and coffee on tap to warm the body, although quite ashamed to see the amount of people who rocked up in board shorts and wife beaters, oh and the clueless hipsters who draped themselves in the Australian flag obviously thinking that was somehow respectful to the memory of fallen ANZACs.

Breakfast after was a decent spread and a good chance to catch up with some fellow ANZACs. Aussie XL then had an afternoon of bbq, beer, music and 2-up, not.a bad day spent remembering those who have fallen in defense of our nations.

Lest we forget.

Not sure whether I'll be here or back in Iraq at this stage, but hoping to be here.

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.

It's an Aussie thread, we're far too prudish to think anything other than chucking prawns on the barbie!
