That's it in a nutshell. The city area is really horrible, even if all the abandoned constructions were miraculously finished and the abandoned businesses miraculously reopened and they cleared up all the trash-covered empty lots and verges I couldn't see any reason to go there. Endless casinos and hotels and the odd restaurant with the menu only in foreigner script. The buildings are all ugly as fuck, just concrete blocks with crappy fiberglass moldings and cheap plasterwork that is going to fall apart in no time. It's worth visiting and driving around the city just to see how bad it is. I know that many areas in and around the capital are a bit fly-blown and scruffy, but this is a whole different level. It's like they are rebuilding Aleppo down there - on the cheap.

It seems like Bad policy to let this happen. Would we say for local and outside people who sort work there. Also Khmer and Westerners who wanted holidays. But apart from that there's also some big winners, those who made their fortune from the Chinese invasion.
Talking about the bird houses, has anyone lived near any of them, I have, their was five of them around us, and it's not fun, not the birds being the problem, but the noise from the unnatural machine imitating the bird call. Even some hotels in Koh Kong we're never hotels but that of bird houses from day one. I am happy the prices have gone up again, due to them hitting an all-time low a few years ago. But they now talk of export, let's hope some Chinese investors don't put money into bird houses.

I've never lived near one but I stayed in a hotel in Vietnam for a few days next to one. I didn't find it that irritating because it's a sound you can sort of filter out to some extent. Living near one for a long time could be a serious annoyance, they seem to play those looped sounds 24/7?

But the machine, usually of Chinese make, is that so far out! In the decibel range it's unreal, it's rare to hear the live birds, and the equipment of Erooupe you would not hear the machine because it is a natural volume, the same has the bird's, and they don't need to run 24/7 due too the birds also needs sleep.

I used to live next to one of the bird houses and it was unfortunate. The birds darkened up the sky and it was like a huge amount of bats flying all during the evening. They should limit the bird houses to unpopulated areas.
