Re: Westerners spend twice as much time on beaches than at Angkor

That’s a shame the most popular attraction in France isn’t Paris. There are so many museums and culture there that it would take months (or years) to see them all. But I’ve read once that that Orlando (the city with Disney World) gets more annual visitors than Italy. Right now the rich Chinese are d...

Re: UN picks Saudi Arabia to lead women’s rights forum despite ‘abysmal’ record

The real point is: Capital wins the war !! Look to Gaza, why the Jewish fuck up all the Filistines ??? They are richer . . . The ‘Filistines’ stance is you stole our land. Their second stance is we will kill all the ‘Jewish’ and then take it back. That’s the baseline to start negotiations from. I’m...

Re: Moving from Thailand to Cambodia

I made the move 12 years ago from Thai to Cambodia. Spent around five years in Thailand before Cambo. Best decision I've ever made. Better culture. Don't overthink this one. Thailand becoming more like Disneyland everyday. Seriously? Thailand becoming Disneyland? Disneyland is a fantasy world. A ve...

Re: October 7, film report from Aljazeera

A recent study by The Rockford Institute (2023), concluded that if some sort of magic wand could be waved and all Israelis plus all Palestinians ceased to exist tomorrow, the net effect upon the world would be zero. They would not be missed. Power abhors a vacuum. Someone else would replace both th...

Re: FYI: Heading to HK / China ( even transit)

Well I know some Western academics whose works have been critical of China, and they wouldn't have dared visiting Hong Kong for a long time already. It's not like they needed this new law if they really wanted to get you. The problem isn’t just academics. It’s whatever the local arresting authoriti...

Re: FYI: Heading to HK / China ( even transit)

They need 212 pages for something they do in the US in 4 words: the war on terrorisme !! That’s like saying North Korea and Norway are both democracies. The only difference being one is a People’s democracy (and thus more pure) than a western democracy. Mainland China keeps shooting itself in the f...

Re: Khmer foreigner rating system — it's riel

False pleasantries are the part of the lubrication that makes societies work. To one extreme, Japan, where pleasantries are elevated to an art form. Lifelong training in delivering what one wants to hear in order to preserve social order. On the other extreme, German corporate culture, where direct ...

Re: I'm Locked Up

Do keyboard warriors have anything better to do than belittle other posters? No wonder there are so many lurkers and not many posters on CEO. Throwing out put downs to show superior keyboard prowess doesn’t encourage discussion. Sorry, frustrated by the flaming sometimes. Otherwise a good discussion...
