"At least someone made an effort to come up with something unique, unlike the proposal being discussed."

Bullshit. It looks like a gooses neck with a duck's bill. Your sense of aesthetics is as warped as your gentlemanlike racism.

RW - calling people by their body parts is plain silly ...

Half of us have pricks and half of us have cunts and akk of us have arseholes/assholes

You might as well call someone a knee, nose or elbow

We seem to have strayed away from architectural and social criticism ...

Well, did that lengthy period of construction improve the lot of the construction workers and noodle-sellers or not?

Well to be honest, yes it did. I was heavily involved in the project for a long period and I know first hand that many (100's) of local unskilled workers actually became 'skilled' and qualified in trades as a result. One example being the re-bar tieing guys, who actually earned themselves jobs in Singapore as a result of the project and probably earned way more than they would have in years by doing a short stint over there.

Also, apart from the few Chinese sub-contractors brought on board, the workforce was huge majority local, albeit expat managed. I am sure a lot of them bettered themselves as a result.

Not saying it happens all the time, but I did witness it in my experience.

Do you happen to know what their take-home pay was? And who was responsible for the quality control of their work? Hundreds of workers is a lot of nontalent to keep an eye on.

I guess take home was industry standard whilst in Cambodia. Circa 175-250 p.month for unskilled, more for the skilled. I know what we paid our staff, but these were well qualified local PM's and Site Managers. As for QA/QC, all supervision and inspections were done by well qualified expat managers, Korean Snr Managers (being a Korean Contractor) and international consultants periodically.

Not saying it wasn't a struggle, but the Khmer workforce were way more eager to learn and adopt new skills than some of the nations I've worked in. In my opinion anyway.
