Anyway, my question is why were there so many heavily armed police marching up and down the streets? Is there a terrorist threat that I'm unaware of?

And I can’t share my opinion on how silly of an issue it is when someone is trying to compare it to a western fireworks show? After all, these events aren’t for the visitors in this country, it’s for the locals.

And to your second question, it’s kind of a stupid question/remark on your part.

in my first post i did not compare it to a western show, i did in the 2nd, but i might add some of the best firework shows i have seen were in China and Thailand, so nothing really to do with any specific location, it was just a really shite firework display. countless people i have spoken with and was with at the time all agreed, including Cambodians. Jeez they couldnt even get the start time right, it was meant to begin at 7pm but started just before 6, we reckoned that someone had accidently let one off hence the shite display after, he carried on running around letting them all off at random.

They may have cleared up most of the rubbish, but they need to do some serious cleaning of the pavements, they are caked in filth. A few days and a few teams with pressure washers and it'll be shining in no time.

I seriously hope the won't just let rain clean it in 6 months time.
