Re: Cambodia Has a Big Problem With Small Loans

While there is a generic rise in temperature over the last decades it is very far from being the primary issue facing local farmers.

North and south there are other bridges.
Japanese bridge closed, the bridge a few Km north is also closed. Ferry is closed.
