Re: This is how to build a Khmer house during COVID-19

I was only thinking yesterday that I should have bought Snowys place and relocated it to the riverside block in Kandal. The boys from Kampot paid $10,000 to have it torn down, trucked to the riverside in Kampot and reassembled. It cost a bit more for footings and replacing rotten timber but it look...

Re: Sihanoukville - What A Dump!

It's so sad to know that SHV has come to this. When I lived there in 94, 95, part of 96 it was stunningly beautiful and peaceful and quiet.

Re: Re-reading Amit Gilboa's "Off the Rails in Phnom Penh"

I was just talking with Amit about a week ago. I actually appear as a character in his book "Off the Rails" as John from Canada (not my real name or country). I was living in Koh Kong from 1996-1999 and I can tell you that Amit's story is very accurate, at least as far as my part of the st...
