Re: Thoughts on opening a sub sandwich shop?

I'm moving to PP in about a month and thinking about what businesses with low overhead could work in Cambodia's emerging economy. I've seen a few expats opening coffee shops, but what about a subway like sub shop? Some american style subs and some Khmer inspired subs. Do you think the khmer market ...

Re: Balancing business and expat Life : seeking advice

Here's some advice you can take to the bank: Move to Kampot and open a bar near the Old Market. Open whenever you feel like it, at least once or twice a week, sit around drinking beers with your mates, maybe smoke a few cigarettes or even a doobie. Offer some kind of dodgy food that takes 50 minutes...

Re: Oh My Burger

The restaurant is half car workshop and half restaurant. Jesus wept. Have you no concerns about basic hygiene? This is really scrapping-the-bottom-of-the-barrel-type stuff. In contrast, Kampot's Laundry Burger owner, Kanchana has recently opened Camboburger on 312 Street in Phnom Penh. OK, also not...

Re: Led Zeppelin documentary

Jake Holmes is suing Jimmy Page again over songwriting credit for Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused." He's named the Sony Pictures film studio as one of several co-defendants, after noticing that the track was miscredited in the Becoming Led Zeppelin documentary. Page's Yardbirds bandmate...

Re: Massage Parlour Review

I'm hooked on the Nagaworld massages. All female staff and each room has full facilities (sauna, steam, jacuzzi). The massages are also very consistent from one visit to another. They also press in all the right places and seem to know what they are doing. Worth the price difference. They also have...

Re: Vintage Yellow Fever: Books and Movies

This one doesn't quite fit into the theme as there's no romance. It does have western male expats and Asian women though.

Re: I want to move to Cambodia, what do I do?

The standard of health care in PP is still mostly 3rd world and for anything other than minor health issues you probably are best to go to BKK, KL, Singapore or back to US for major treatment (ie if you are able t...
