German guy scavenged in Ounalom pagoda

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.

Is that the Wat/Pagoda at the end of Street 172?

I was pretty sure that's who I saw sitting on the curb there late one night when I was stumbling home.

You could die every easily in many parts of Africa just from exposure as well. Many people think it's always hot there, nothing could be further from the truth in most areas.

July in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein, Bulawayo...makes me shiver just to think about it.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)

Actually he went to the embassy quite a few times late year seeking for assistance. The embassy suggested him to fly back to Germany and the embassy agreed to lend him money, however he refused to go back to Germany.

I wonder why one want to be destitute in Cambodia where they will gain no support or anything from the housing country. There are a lot of potentials that he or she will be able to have a normal life or start a new life in his or her home country.
tbh i wouldnt want to go back there either :P haha
What is wrong with Germany? I guess it is one a nice country in Europe. I watched a lot of videos about almost each city there. :)

I don't mind to go there for education haha.
