A big plus mark from Big Brother
A big plus mark from Big Brother
My brother has just returned from an Asian trip (re-union in Vietnam) and spent a week in Phnom Pehn at the Pavilion Hotel.
Comments were that despite the negative reports he had heard about the city, he found it very clean and beautiful. The hotel was apparently spotless and the streets clean and quiet. Far from what he had been told to expect. Admittedly he did not venture out a great deal as he felt so happy with the hotel and it's surrounding area.
I do not spend anytime in Phnom Pehn preferring the outer lying regions as my wife and myself prefer peace and quiet but this sounded great and maybe deserves a visit.

You sure he left the hotel at all?

Silence, exile, and cunning.

Read my post. He never claimed to have ventured out far, just commented on the area he was staying in.John Bingham wrote: ↑Mon Dec 03, 2018 9:20 pmI don't believe he saw much of the "outer lying regions".phuketrichard wrote: ↑Mon Dec 03, 2018 8:39 pm "...he found it very clean and beautiful...and the streets clean and quiet"

Why so much negativity for praising a place?

Re: A big plus mark from Big Brother
It's great to have some positive input, and much of the city is a lot tidier and cleaner than it was 15-20 years ago. However it's a long stretch to call the streets "clean and beautiful". Even in the more affluent parts of town there are broken up paths covered in garbage and building detritus. I can only guess you are from Port Moresby, Karachi or Baltimore or somewhere similar so this place looks relatively fancy to you?

Re: A big plus mark from Big Brother
Why the insults about where I live, have I in my short time on this forum ever insulted you? And again, please read my post. This was a comment from my brother and not me.John Bingham wrote: ↑Mon Dec 03, 2018 9:38 pm It's great to have some positive input, and much of the city is a lot tidier and cleaner than it was 15-20 years ago.

For the record, I live in Herndon. Virginia (for now).

Welcome to the forum AB101.
JB, if you could ease off a bit, would be nice.

Re: A big plus mark from Big Brother
Perhaps his brother arrived just before Water Festival in time for one of the big street clean-ups. Things can look quite good before Chinese New Year as well, if you are in the right place at the right time when all the rubbish has been burnt or disposed of.
Nice to see a positive view of PP for once though. We see the negatives enough as it is.
