Men 86.5 and women 75. For neighboring countries, Lao 84.7 (2015), Thailand 93.8 (201...

Re: Israel and Palestinian Conflict
Israel encouraged the French Jews to make Aliyah a decade ago after one French Jewish young man was abducted, tortured and killed by French Africans, pinning it as a hate crime. Truth is, he wasn't targeted because he was a Jew. He was targeted because he was from a rich family. IIRC, the president...

Re: How safe do you feel in Cambodia in the modern world?
Cambodia itself with 75% of the national consumption ; Laos, Thailand and Vietnam for the last 25% (2019).
We're probably closer to 80% now as the domestic production increases fast.

Then i co...

Re: Commision for 1$ Cambodian beer ring pull ?
I think it depends on the shops. If i change a winning ring pull in small shops in my village, i usually pay 500r and so 12000r for a case. At the bigger shop, the one furnishing small shops, i pay 7000r to change a case and no commission for $1. My friend won $50 last week and they charged him only...

Re: 30c...60% Humidity...7am Here comes the heat...
Starting now mid-february to approx. the Khmer New Year, i'm picking cashewnuts on my farm. Hot, no breeze and the sun hits hard even if most trees give a good shade. And the endless fight against red ants makes me sweat even more ! I try to start working at sunrise to avoid the heat but, by noon, i...

Re: Burgled on wedding eve
In SE Asia flooding is guaranteed. Not one or two houses, but everyone. Multiple times a year. :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: It’s a great construction choice question. Why choose to build in concrete - a material more difficult to work with, more difficult to modify over wood? It apparently floo...
