noonoo, i get scammed overthere 2 weeks ago with the joker draw.
Told the manager but he said "i am completely behind my cashier".
Probably he didnt know, and it took some time to find out how she does:
She just puts in your little pot a bill from another guy who payed already, if you dont see it, she gets twice the money and its not in the books, everything in her pocket.
Went to Honeypot at "opening-ceremonie" in 2016 (i think) and always loved it also, but the love is over.
She very quickly "capitulated" about my wrong bill, what is ofcourse another red flag she knew very well what was going on !!
Knever get scammed at Poneytail, where i will go as i always did, but now also on fridays when the jokerdraw is 3 day further . . .

During the talks, Samdech Techo noted with deep satisfaction that, among the 27 EU countries, Germany is the biggest bilateral trading partner of Cambodia. Samdech Techo also highly appreciated Germany’s support for mine clearance activities in Cambodia since 1994 and informed the President that Cambodia aims to be a mine-free country by 2025. President Frank-Walter Steinmeier was pleased to confirm that Germany’s support for the mine clearance operations and for the conservation efforts of the Angkor temples would continue.

After the Official Talks, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier led the German business delegation for an Introductory Meeting with Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HE. He reiterated the readiness of his country to help Cambodia combat climate change and use renewable energy.

Cambodian PM Receives German Bundestag Delegation
AKP Phnom Penh, February 22, 2023 --

Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HE, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, received here at the Peace Palace a courtesy visit from a delegation of German Bundestag led by H.E. Ms. Gabriele KATZMAREK, a Member of German Budestag.

According to H.E. Eang Sophalleth, Assistant to the Cambodian Premier, during the meeting, H.E. Ms. Gabriele KATZMAREK highly appreciated Cambodia's stance against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

She also lauded Cambodia’s rapid development compared to her previous visit in the Kingdom in 2009, and added that her visit this time is aimed to look for reliable cooperation partners as well as to push for the ASEAN-EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

For his part, Samdech Techo Prime Minister re-emphasised Cambodia’s clear stance over the Russia-Ukraine war, i.e. to maintain the rules-based world order.

Samdech Techo HE welcomed H.E. Ms. Gabriele KATZMAREK’s goal, stressing that ASEAN is a community that make decisions through consensus. In this regard, he added, to reach the ASEAN-EU FTA, we need to look at the ASEAN Community as a whole, not at each country separately.

ASEAN and EU started their discussions for a FTA in 2007, but the negotiations were suspended two years later, before being resumed in 2017.
