Charity Bread

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.

Awwww, looks like someone likes bread. Granted she probably took every last one and is selling them to tourists on riverside right now.

Bread is certainly eaten, usually with curries, in the extremely rural villages that I spend time in with the missus' family...definitely not just a PP city-folk thing.

Borrowing off people in the streets is 10% - 20% per month, so compared to that it's low. It's $120 for $100 round here, paid back daily. Ridiculous really, but you get a lot of customers. No concept of saving.
