Re: Buying a used car here in 2019? Part 3, another option?

Just an update for misc observations and fuel economy on the 1.0 litre Vitz. https://i.imgur.com/GBBzSKO.jpg This is done over 5 tanks of fuel, which lasts a surprisingly long time in this car. City driving, this car is great although the steering is a tad heavy for an electric system. Start and sto...

Re: Buying a used car here in 2019? Part 3, another option?

Thanks for your info A10. I have been researching the market to buy a car and I appreciate your post. I'm confused about the disparity in prices from basic to luxury cars. I had sort of thought that I would buy a 2001 Toyota Sienna LE as I like the cloth seats rather than the Leather on the XLE. Th...

Re: Are there more mosquitos in PP now than usual?

I'm up in the provinces in Southern Laos now, and honestly I am surprised at how few mozzies there are in comparison to Phnom Penh. They're here for sure, but not like the overwhelming cloud I would bat away non-stop while in the city. Then comparing now to 10 years ago if I were to guess, I would s...

Re: Gas Station Explosion in Siem Reap, Many Injured

FFs, https://www.facebook.com/bunhak.heng/videos/pcb.2192422977547623/2192432400880014/?type=3&theater I find it curious the person and hand taking the video reflected from the windshield doesn't flinch or react in any way at all. The hand holding the phone was probably recording the screen of ...

Re: Home Appliance & Electronics Shops

Can't help on the name of that store, but if you're near O-Russei market there are sellers that have various grades of those types of scales accurate within 1g, I think around $10-25 depending on model and features. Last I was there, many sellers had them. If you want a more accurate scale (1/10th o...

Re: Don't eat the pork they tell me.

It is true that overly industrial pig farms worldwide are being hit very hard. Some estimates claim 1 in 4 pigs are dying before making it to the butchers due to a viral diarrhoea (even the wall street journal made mention of this). Relatively "organic" farms (free range pigs, for lack of ...

Re: Buffalo Sister

My wife said the same thing "There's no rice."

Next time you go try the lamb on roast day. Good stuff, especially with that mint leaf sauce they make. Have to order quickly otherwise it'll be gone as the last two times I went I missed out.

Re: What's is wrong with Americas youth? Another shooting

Re: Ammo. I don't think Americans are that stupid to think that "...as long as they don't take muh guns." Just the insinuation from Obama increasing regulations (I forget on what exactly) caused a massive surge in ammunition sales. I remember the gun dealers putting up "No Ammo" ...

Re: Normal-Looking Woman Arrested for Drug Trafficking in Phnom Penh Market

FFS, I hope that common sense prevails and CEO doesn't turn into some kind of half-baked millennial safe space. I'm beginning to feel that this entire generation should have been smothered in the crib. Nah, there's a lot of "us millennials" that are constantly wondering WTF is going on. R...
