Re: Riverside - October 2023

I had attended the Water Festival in Siem Reap a few times but never in Phnom Penh. I am not big on crowds but I figured that I had to check it out. Walking from the Hotel Cambodiana wasn't too bad at first, but once I reached Chaktomuk conference hall, things got a little busy. I did see of the ra...

Re: Riverside - October 2023

I I walked back after the fireworks. We went back past the palace as Riverside was just way too packed. I had a flip-flop blow-out soon after leaving, had to make my way barefoot.

Re: Riverside - October 2023

On riverside itself it is a glorious spectacle. The road is closed to all traffic and people are strolling along the full width of the road and the promenade. A one hour long fireworks display has just ended and a procession of superb illuminated boats glide by. It’s as good a show as you would see...

Re: What are monthly living costs?

I get through about 2500 a month, family of 3, kid at int. School, we dont go flash but i say we have a nice lifestyle. I dont touch streetfood, to many times being ill. Mainly home cooked meals, but we go out at least once a week to a restaraunt. We do get thru a lot of wine and beers though.

If so, then you know what tasteless, mass-produced meat is like. my problem with the meat here is the distinct lack of meat on it. I buy all my meat from the market a...

Re: Khmer Beef vs Import

I don't eat beef but I get pork at Phsar Leu Thom Thmey at least once a week and I never have any problems. If anything, I found the quality to be much higher than that as I have had in Western Europe and Canada (i.e, it doesn't taste like mass produced industrialised product). and what exactly doe...
