I hope those tossers and keyboard warriors don't end up migrating over here.

Re: Breaking News: Fire Engulfs Poipet Casino
This looks like a jerry-built heap-of-shit building. Probably adorned with much flammable glitzy crap. The way the fire spread to so many areas was crazy. As above, I doubt very much there were any fire escapes, let alone sprinklers. These buildings and all the bunker-like KTVs and so many commerci...

Re: Breaking News: Fire Engulfs Poipet Casino
Terrible news. As a hotel manger, this is my biggest fear. Especially knowing that fire safety checks in this country are a farce and basically involve a envelope with cash. Many of these hotels and high rises are modified off plan either in construction or in later renovations, removing stairwells...

OML Wow, great to hear. Which Order did you receive? Further to an earlier post, I have basically no ph...

Re: How is it for YOU returning to live in the west after several years abroad?
I hate to say this again, but I still haven't seen a response to my biggest concern about the West and moving back. The rapidly rising cost of living. People keep saying it's great and that the kids like it and all, but what about costs? Even Bubble T admits to making 6 figures and can't save any m...

Re: How is it for YOU returning to live in the west after several years abroad?
So, @Felgerkarb you'd definitely have a book wanting to get printed. Any thoughts in that direction? I have pages of notes jotted down. The problem is, nobody would believe half the shit and the rest certain government officials on all sides would not appreciate -- I want to be able to visit and wo...

Re: How is it for YOU returning to live in the west after several years abroad?
I never thought I would leave KoW. But, it changed....and I changed. The city has been destroyed as far as I am concerned. Cookie cutter crap with no public spaces worth a crap. Pollution and construction dust is murderous -- my sinuses cleared up after a week back in the USA...I had no idea they we...
