Re: 5000 riel notes

Hint to newbies: 200,000 in 5K demoninations should last you a month, So to save time, why dont you just make one trip to the bank every few months, get the notes a million riel at a time. Toss them in a drawer and use as needed. But 200.000 Riel is worth just under $50 so unless you live in some r...

Re: VIDEO: Ship hits Keys Bridge in Maryland (USA)

Why did Biden promise full federal funding to replace the bridge? “It's my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge and I expect the Congress to support my effort," Biden said, speaking from the White House ahead of a trip to North Caroli...

Re: Westerners spend twice as much time on beaches than at Angkor

I wouldn’t imagine that it would be difficult to get in and wander around after dark
There are hundreds of guards around, you'd get caught and fined.

Re: FDR

The inscription on the wall reads: "They [who] seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of all human beings by a handful of individual rulers...call this a new order. It is not new and it is not order." March 15, 1941". I do believe that this applies more th...

Re: pattaya girls in the 70's

Re: Westerners spend twice as much time on beaches than at Angkor

A lot of them simply don't understand that for westerns it's a beautiful pile of rocks that makes for a great background on their Instagram pictures. I think it's you that doesn't understand. Most westerners who visit Angkor Wat have a greater appreciation of art & culture than that. The first ...
