19 Year Old British Backpacker Harry Corbett Described As an "Incredible Bloke" Found Hanged in Vietnam

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.

I have memory issues after a medical event some years ago, and for some reason remembered Super Duper as Piggly Wiggly (from the book/movie The Help) and for the longest time could only recall it as such. Mrs Stroppy just learned to equate what I was saying to what I meant, and went with it. It was easier that way.

I remember many, many moons ago Swan Lager was available in B.C. Canada. I thought it was great beer.

P.S. Alcohol is a drug.
You could be next.

Swan Gold was pretty reasonable too, but it was back in the days when light beer wasn't considered real beer.

My wife can never say "Duper", so she would just say "Super Doo". "Du" in Vietnamese means "fuck" so now she calls the store "Super Fuck" because she thinks it's funny.
