Re: Japan's Nearly 9 Million Empty Homes

There is a similar trend in rural Italy. Complete ghost villages in the countryside. Some areas have started to give away house and land for 1 (one) Euro. Dont expect villas with swimmingpool, most houses will need investments/upgrades. If you are able to do some of the works yourself, this may be a...

Re: Cambodia has significant potential to surprise visitors with the unexpected

Cambdodia feels like a trip to the past and an adventure. It also shows me how lucky I was to be born in Italy and not here.

Re: Do you have health insurance

Needed emergency surgery. The hospital flew in a specialist from HongKong. 3 days ICU, 10 days recovery. Tota...

The OP writes aboot getting robbed by two hookers 1/4 of his age.
I find it kind of hard to feel compassion for the OP. All my alarms going off when two young chicks approach me for whatever reason.

Re: Indonesia to raise entertainment tax 40%-75%.

If the price of beer was sooooo relevant for decision making Cambodia should be awash with tourists.

Re: China's birth rate is dropping

Chinese tend to spend a fortune on the education of the children. Many probably dont have the funds anymore to educate 2 or 3. So they concentrate on the one they can afford.

Re: back to SR after 8 years..my experience

Will be spending some time in SR later this month with family. Would be great to get recommendations for family friendly eating places preferably away from Pub Street. Jungle Burger, Il Forno, Urban Tree Hut - are they all suitable for families? I’ll be working during the day so the family will exp...

If Cambodia puts up a nuclear power plant - this would be one of the worst case scenarios I can think about and upon completion I would leave the country... They cannot even drive a car. I can just speak for Siem Reap only for the moment but my experiences were very good so far: The trip from the a...
