Re: Would u say Cambodia feels safer and peaceful than u expected considering the history of the nation?

You don't have the population density in Cambodia that you do in Jakarta or Manila. Not even close to compare these places. Urban poverty that goes on and on for blocks and km's makes for entirely different circumstances for the inhabitants. Phnom Penh is quite small still by this comparison and the...

Re: Khmer440 is shutting down

Can we, then, expect an inrush of people who previously openly despised this forum, as they will have nowhere except maybe the Kampot notice board to spill their vitriol? And of course Facebook. I think Alexandra was referring to those who openly despised CEO when he said "forums attract a lot...

Re: Dumplings...

If you are going to correct/criticize someone on their post, you better have your facts correct. Dumplings is an general term used in SE Asia for different "dumplings". Gyoza are what they are called in Japan. For the Chinese they are called Potstickers. I think, don't hold me to it, the ...

Re: a good read; "myths from the Cambodian genocide still reign"

US bombing on Cambodia pre 1975 made for hard tallying. The Cambodian Civil War dates chronologically mirror the US Bombing of Cambodia dates and the divisions and differences between the two state sponspored military actions are not easily seperated. Given all that, a figure like 100,000 Cambodian ...

Re: Dumplings...

Its Gyoza, not sui mai, not bao either nor is it ha gao or dim sum. Dumplings are called "gyoza" in putanghua, you zha (fried) or zheng shu (steamed) but Gyoza just the same. Chinese noodle up on Monivong between St 304 and 310 there now appear to be more than one chinese noodle, good gyoz...

Re: a good read; "myths from the Cambodian genocide still reign"

willyhilly Even an ageing tweaker like me did a little research on this one, and you can too. Please look into this and repost something new or idiosyncratic at least regarding the stats during the 1363 days of the regime led Cambodia. 1.7million dead due to civil war is widely accepted on my check...

Go f yourself. John is a good guy in my book and I remain concerned. He hasn't been online in two weeks and as far as I can tell from here in the US of A something has gone terribly wrong. Dead Jenny ain't dead and who knows what happened to that guy. That was also a bizarre story. Just because stor...

Freightdog, I was confused by all they posting here on the other guy with the same name. I'd wager John's mother would be elderly so we might want to take it easy there. Posting on a board like this is not real natural for some folks that have never done it so that might explain some things. It is t...
