The Renovation of THE WHITE BUILDING

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The Renovation of THE WHITE BUILDING

1. Figure out how to get all those dirty poor people out of there without too much public fuss.

2. Renovate the place completely, smacking 2 apartments (or 3 apartments) into 1.

3. Sell these spiffy new apartments for $300,000 and up.

And if it can be done with JAPANESE MONEY, so much the better

Simple!

having spent time there over the years cant see it ever been cleaned up/renovated
only solution is destroy it and start over
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

I thought we were talking about a building, not Cambodia and its government.

Restored, it would be lovely - no matter WHO lives in it ... but when uncultured Philistines rule the roost,
nobody cares too much ...
