Learn How To Dance Madison
1 May 2012 | 1:54 amI missed the event of Loy9 Madison last Saturday. I like Madison and I think every Cambodian does. I wanted to write something about this popular dance but never get enough chance to make it done. Thank to Loy9 to bring such attention to the country as well as to the world. I asked Sovanna for some photos from the events. Special thank to him for the photos! It was raining when the event took place but nobody went home. They all wanted to dance and celebrate this special event. It is easy to dance by following others. But if you ask me to dance alone I really don’t know how to dance. -

TEDx and Transparency
23 Apr 2012 | 2:52 pmWhen TEDxPhnom Penh initially launched in Cambodia, I assisted with the organizing committee, and encouraged friends with prior TED experience to participate. Over a period of several months I came to realize that TED is quite a popular name and event. TED talks are volunteer-run events, and as such can take considerable time and effort. My hat’s off to any team that can pull it off smoothly. For the first talk (2010) I dropped out after several months of meetings. I simply couldn’t commit enough time. I also had some reservations about speakers being selected from members of the… -
Exploring Phnom Penh
19 Feb 2012 | 5:49 amA brief response to the frequent assertion that there isn’t much choice in places to go, things to do or people to meet in Phnom Penh. I began blogging about things Cambodian in 2002, initially from Siem Reap. I wrote about nearly everything that took my interest because if I didn’t get it on the web, few else would at the time.* I noticed something after a while: my blog was getting clogged with art and event announcements. In 2005 I started a simple ‘What’s On’ blog* where I could zap the info directly from email-to-blog. I add tidbits to it as I see fit to this day. As of 2012… -

Cambodia Wins the ‘Battle For Valentine’s Day’!
14 Feb 2012 | 3:16 am‘We just want to prevent anarchy‘ say the police. What could incite such excitement? Just like there is a ‘War Against Christmas‘, Cambodia has geared up to win the battle for your heart – on Valentine’s Day. Every year the streets are filled with amateur and pro efforts to cash in on this growing event. It’s an interesting concept for a largely traditional culture, where arranged marriages are still common, but romance is one of the top selling genres for film, literature, and music. In the capitol city Phnom Penh? I’d estimate holiday efforts…

Oysters
24 Jan 2012 | 8:32 pmThere appears to be a burgeoning class of oyster consumer in Phnom Penh. Lina has the dish. You’ll forgive me for not immediately realising that Phnom Penh is an oyster town. It’s not next to the sea and there doesn’t seem to be a word in the Khmer language for oyster. And yet there’s an oyster culture in Phnom Penh, with locals and expats alike enjoying oysters on the half shell all over town Lina’s gives a quick rundown of the Phnom Penh oyster scene, including one streetside stall where oysters sell for a mere 1,400 riels each. And, as an aside, according to…

The eight-day slide in price that neared Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority’s initial public offering value before climbing more than 4 per cent yesterday, however, would not affect the port’s plans to list, Director General Lou Kim Chhun said. “We were a bit concerned [by the decline]. But I do believe the government will carefully manage the issue,” Lou Kim Chhun… -
