It was just starting to open up post Cold War but we still had to apply for our visa and accomodation through the government run/vetted tourist company, Intourist. It was certainly an eye opener and a reflection of Communist misery. The people were pretty unwelcoming probably down to the poverty that was very evident, it was a step back into the dark ages.

Wow this pretty much like North Korea where you have to book everything with the tourist company run by the government. I don't meet many Russian in Cambodia, even though they are here, I would not communicate with them, as they might not like taking in English or probably don't know the language.

I wonder if people from China and North Korea could go to Russia easily.

There many Russians in Cambodia ( dont u read about shv?)
and lots here in Phuket as they love the beach an bars , many are young couples and many have $$$
there are a few parents with young kids in the school my gf works at.

Many were moving here, buying up business, homes, working illegally, last year as before they could get a free 90 day visa exempt but they stopped that an than the Rubble crashed,

Most thai's hate them, they are rude, obnoxious, very loud an mean drunks

But some of the women ohh lala

as to traveling, its quite easy to go to Russia but the distances turn people off

Yes there are many Russian in Sihanoukville, however most of the time i stay in Phnom Penh. I don't really see many of them in Phnom Penh, moreover many of them don't speak English.

I think i saw a couple of Russian with two little kids when i was visiting Rabbit island, Kep province, you really can tell that they are Russian, just like what described above, they are really unfriendly and very isolated. They sat really far away from us.

I have to agree that Russian female is beautiful. When i was on a bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. I sad next to a girl from Ukraine. She is technically Ukrainian, but both of her parents are originally from Russia. She is really beautiful and look much younger than her actual age.

I found a few old pictures I had. Nothing exciting, mostly buildings and shit like that. Didn't want to post any pictures of people.

The 20 house compound I live in in Snooky, about 8 of the houses are leased by Russians. They don't seem to bother anyone, but the ones across from me are stoned all the time so maybe that's why they are so quiet. Also most seem a little older and/or have children, and are not the young wanna-be punks that caused the troubles here this year.

Thanks BKL for these great pictures. I hope i will make it there one day.
