Re: Dog Meat is Growing in Popularity Among Cambodians; Several Restaurants in Phnom Penh

The way dogs destined for the dog meattrade are treated is horrendous. Often kept hog-tied in tiny confined cages or sacks, with muzzles bound, then beaten to death, usually with a club or a hammer - very barbaric. A blow torch is used to remove the fur, really is gut-wrenchingly horrific treatment ...

Re: Foreigner Assaults Khmer Girl

The Koran is written in Classical Arabic and is therefore not something one would study to learn modern Arabic, in much the same way that one would not use Chaucer's works to learn modern English. I believe that is true, and is also the reason that most Arabic speakers cannot understand the Koran e...

Re: Australian woman detained in Cambodia, after nearly 2kg of heroin found in her luggage at PP airport.

She could well have been a diversion indeed.

Going by programs like Banged Up Abroad, there seem to be many smuggling attempts doomed to failure from the start and invariably the mule hears later in prison that they were setup, and a diversion for others carrying.

Re: Australian woman detained in Cambodia, after nearly 2kg of heroin found in her luggage at PP airport.

Is it just me, but surely only an idiot would expect that much to pass unnoticed? Does seem a large amount, especially if it was all in one suitcase. Guessing that even if she did realise the h would not pass unnoticed, may have been too late to pull out or change her mind. As prahocalypse now said...
