Silence, exile, and cunning.

I went to the market today. Seemed like any other Sunday.
Stopped round noon at favorite watering hole. Had a beer with w/burger. Beer seemed the same. Burger was better than average. Good German mustard.
Traffic seemed a bit more than average.
Went & bought a clothes iron.
Weird!

I don't claim to know the details of law and facts on the ground. But it does make one think.
My thoughts are with the long-struggling Cambodian people, as always.
I love Cambodian people, most are wonderful folks.
Maybe this will affect the growth in businesses, tourism, and some or even many expats and retirees in Cambodia.
When I think of governmental systems that oppress their people, I think of my personal interactions with Russians and Chinese. Then I think of the future with respect to Cambodian interactions if living there.
Then I find myself re-thinking living there.

I worked there from 2008 to 2010. Since I was teaching, I spent quite a lot of time with Libyans and they were very much controlled and oppressed, much more so than in Cambodia. I'm basing my judgement on that.vladimir wrote:On what do you base that claim? BBC?

I suggest you do some investigation before you accept MSM's view.

They have to at some point - the only Cambodians I know that 'like' the government are those paid by them and the civil service and institutions aren't that big. I thought the people were going to follow through after the elections in 2013, but they had no fight in them. When is it going to happen???

with the current upcoming elections and the recent news of the opposition be ruled out and the possibility of a people`s revolt, it maybe best if i stay somewhere near a border.it appears that americans are the least approved of foreigners by the current administration...

i doubt there will be any unrest, particularly not against foreigners unless something happens to stir things up.
the yanks are too busy fighting each other to pay much attention to what goes on here- and china is outspending them by a wide margin.

What went wrong for the opposition ? What could they, or should they, have done differently ?
