Re: The Kep Revival

We went to Kep many times in 2017..18...I would rent a boat for the day and go snorkel and fish and enjoy the sea....Koh Tonsay was ok...spent a few nights there..I preferred a nice hotel in Kep and the private boat ride....as opposed to the hut life. The crab market was a tourist trap..the beach ha...

Re: 7-11 Coming Soon

I first encountered 7/11 on 95th and Mission road in Overland Park Kansas in 1964... The name said it All.. They opened at 7am and closed at 11pm. This was a completely new business strategy and it found its niche. A company called Quicktrip arrived in the 80s with 24 hour service and 7/11 began to ...

Re: Teenage Mushroom Picker Killed by UXO and 3 Injured

It is a shame those mushroom pickers did not see the story a few days ago about the potato pickers who had a similar incident. The blame the USA logic is interesting... So, All the people in the USA and across the World shot by a Glock should blame Austria? Makes sense to me! Same fucking argument ....

She talks to the cook about their...

Re: Good tv repair place?

I fucked up the plug on the back of my Sony here in Siem Reap...I could not find anyone in SR and saw a few promising candidates in PP.. Then, I saw a video on Youtube of an Indian guy fixing Sony tvs and it looks like something I could do provided I could find the correct power board .. The thought...

Re: 20Yo Man Arrested for Trafficking Weapons in Siem Reap

So, 1 actual Glock? The soft and steel BB guns are fucking toys in the USA. The problem with pellet or water pistols that look real.is the police gun you down for brandishing one of these fakes... Criminals do use them to pull off robberies. Not smart to be selling that shit here in Siem Reap. I hav...

Re: New form to keep track of foreigners in Kingdom

Of course expats who fly in and out are used to the routine that has finger printing, picture taking, arrival form, and stamp..the departure portion stapled in the passport. This new system is nothing to shit your pants over. In Kampot, my house was a few blocks from the Provincial police HQ and nei...

Re: Cocktail shrimps where to buy?

The pink sauce is tasty but the classic shrimp coctail omits the mayo and horseradish is a must. I used to make gallons of it in a floor mixer using canned cocktail and canned ketchup., lemon juice, Worcestershire, Tabasco and horseradish..a classic. Here in Siem Reap I buy frozen peeled and deveine...

Re: American Teacher Arrested After Attack on Tuktuk in Siem Reap

That is some excellent racist shit saying the Latino man should get his brown ass back to the USA because he looks too native... I guess you never lived in California? Been around Mexican Americans? It seems to me, this guy is out of work since Siem Reap was first to close its schools and he was hav...
