Old video footage from Phnom Penh before any of us arrived. Well, maybe LTO was already here, but that's it.

Yes. But they called them movies. Started in 1890 if you can not recall.

Great find. The Cambodians made up some bullshit excuse so they could sell them the boats. lol. Then the overcharged them to get workers. Nothing much has changed. lol. Corruption was apparently the key word here back then too.
