The purpose of this visit is to deliver food, and basic medical care to people who live on the dump site. This is a routine trip for the organizer to the place. I’ve been told that the dump site has been closed, some how these people still live there. I already have in mind the image of the place. But the vision I had in mind differ to what I really see. The condition they live in makes me ask this question,…

    An article in this morning business section of Phnom Penh Post catches my eyes, Beeline, a new mobile operator, is warned by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunication for charging it’s customers too low. It is not clear whether the service that Beeline charges too low is the VOIP or local calls. It’s weird, as the cheaper the service is better off for consumer (us). But this time, thing is not that simple. Beeline is accused of practice unfair competition activities in free market, buy selling its service cheaper than cost. The warning from MPTC is due to a complaint made by Mobitel, the…

    I’ve been writing alot about internet cost in Cambodia. Unlimited internet in Cambodia is not cheap by my standard. But here is another affordable one from Metfone. If you’re lucky enough to live where there is Mefone’s DSL cable nearby. You can get unlimited internet at your home for $35 at a very reasonable speed. The promised speed is 128kbps which is not high, but I did a test on my friend’s computer it is acceptable, except when you download. If using download manager you can get speed up 20KBPS easily, but the problem is when you download everyone else in the network slow.

    Who makes laws? Who implements laws? Who respects laws? I just raise these questions and the answers to questions are not complicated and hard. All the people are easier to understand. What is hard to understand is that law does not serve the common people overall. At the present, it is observed that the law is serving the handful of the rich and the powerful. The victim of the law implementation is the poor and the powerless people. I and my relatives is the victim of law. Because motorbike without the installation of mirror and driver without wearing helmet caused the feud between a…

And then presenter was not likely to be interested so much in earning money from a blog and he said that it is not easy to make money. What he showed is how to share news and information on blog such as tourism…

    To most casual bystanders, who aren’t Thai, it’s obvious Cambodia owns the temple. Not only was the temple built by the Khmer in Khmer style, it was also built on land that had always belonged to the Khmer until Thailand took it over in one of their incursions, into what is now Cambodia, a few hundred years ago. Cassandra James, Associated Content I ran into this commentary on the recent Cambodian-Thai spat and thought you guys might be interested. According to CNN, Thailand has ordered its Ambassador to Cambodia to return home after it learned that deposed Thai ex-Prime Minister,…

I suppose I was too lazy back then and never cared about learning it since my mom would do it anyways. Now that I have to live away from home, knowing how to cook has become more important than ever. For a reason, it’s too expensive to eat out over here. I’ll need at least $10 each time to do. Twice a day and 31 days a month, that will total to around $620 a month. Yikes! For another, I can’t see myself eating American food everyday. It’s not because their…

    Known as Jingju (京剧) in Chinese, the Beijing or Peking Opera is one of the most treasured art forms in China. Formerly reserved only for the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, the Opera combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. Unlike its counterpart in other parts of the world, Jingju is highly renowned for its unique facial paintings  whose designs represent different characters’ roles. For example, a red face usually depicts heroic bravery, uprightness and loyalty; a white face symbolizes a sinister, treacherous and guile character and a green face connotes surly…
