Re: Attack on Mexican Embassy

Regarding types of police, I’ve never known a country with so many types and categories of police. It’s baffling. Traffic police, immigration police, MoI police (many of whom appear to be security guards), sangkat police, ‘quick response’ police, man with a walkietalkie police, Tuktuk police, touri...

Re: Operation to inspect the residences of foreigners

Of course I live in Cambodia. Can't you read my detailed description of real events in real time? I work here... Actually, your constant negativity about Cambodia is bordering on trolling, and puts you squarely in the suspect category- others have already been culled out. So UT’s question is not un...

Re: Operation to inspect the residences of foreigners

Shitpot and Poopoo Penh, lol... Fucking hell, are you five years old? What's that supposed to mean? Kampot is a dusty ugly little dump full of nobs and losers and Phnom Penh is fucking mismanaged dump hole. It is ugly and polluted by the smoke of dozens of small brick factories burning polyester, n...

Re: Operation to inspect the residences of foreigners

Of course inspection is in name only. ...Local chiefs have the prerogative to take as much as they like from whoever they like, as is traditional to use property here...

Re: Obituary - Paul Ignatieff

His grandson Michael is a well-known author (in Canada)... And, like most well-known Canadians, to the manor born or with a professor mom or dad, like Margaret Atwood, lol... (Can't be a winner in that thick hick country otherwise... Yawn...)

Re: 5000 riel notes

I do not know where you live. However, the money changers around the southeast corner of the Central Market in Phnom Penh have (or used to have) large wads of brand new bills of all riel denominations. Alternatively, just go into a bigger bank branch and ask.

Re: Khmer foreigner rating system — it's riel

My point is you are all just a bunch of too rich cheesy American middle class dorks who spend 98% of your energy talking about and judging others . . The gossip of common boors about losers and crazies is all that is interesting to you prats... Also, this observation is underscored by my acute abili...
