Re: Pallets for Sale

Plastic or wood, new or used? There are a few places around here https://maps.app.goo.gl/4nHsLeYm9SXsimST9 Wood and used. That place looks perfect. Any idea as to cost? I am hoping for >$3 a piece, or am I dreaming? Unlikely unless you want crappy ones, but you can try, especially if you don't need...

Re: Illiteracy in young(ish) Khmers

10 years ago 50% of khmers couldnt read or write, i suppose slowly its getting lower, and i know some european people also who hardly can: They are champions in hiding it, always will have a reason to not read for example a restaurants menu (forget glasses always works). Before i was "smart-pho...

Re: Oh, You Internet.

I noticed that my internet speed on both Smart & Cellcard was diminished over the weekend. A cheeky check on the undersea cables revealed that South East Asia–Middle East–Western Europe 5 (Singapore to France via everything) was broken on Friday at some point, not sure if that has impacted spee...

Re: Vietnam. Ferry slams into tourist boat coming from Phnom Penh. Arms lost, legs broken. (Video in article link)

It doesn't get clear to me, what exactly has happened and who's fault it is. I am preloaded, that a ferry usually goes pretty slowly from one side of a river to the other, while a tourist boat "traveling at a high speed" follows the flow of the river. However, this high speed boat was inc...

The next day I go to Call Kim for the annual pensioner visa, because she is highly praised here in the forum. For her, of course, I also need USD for her services. Except I can also...
