Re: I woke up thinking I was in China
I see it as the everyday New Normal. No surprises at all.
I am trying to adjust myself to the realisation that i will be returning to my home which is now firmly within Greater China. That's how i see it.
It weighs heavily - i signed up, but i didn't sign up to live inside the Bamboo Curtain.
Not sure how i am going to handle it, but will have to do my best - i don't want to run, 'too invested way down deep.

topping out ! (looks for laughing smiley and can't find one).John Bingham wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 10:27 pmI can't read any Chinese or Khmer script but this is what I've often seen installed for "topping off" ceremonies.
Edit: I see someone else has already pointed this out. I'm going to call it topping off going forward anyway.

How is the phone signals in that area. That signal tower looks a bit low.

Interesting building, anyone know what it's going to be! Office, apartment or hotel building?
Anything fallen off it yet?

Re: I woke up thinking I was in China
Signage might as well read "Barangs don't buy here" A chinese development in Cambodia does nothing to inspire confidence in the project for me.

Re: I woke up thinking I was in China
Well, I don't know about 'barangs don't buy here' but this sign is quite visible and in free sight to a lot of people in PP, I would've thought it's somewhat disrespectful to have that in Chinese only which most Khmers wouldn't understand. Just saying..Grand Barong wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 9:45 am Signage might as well read "Barangs don't buy here" A chinese development in Cambodia does nothing to inspire confidence in the project for me.
