Although the report does highlight issues and mentions corruption it does state that the Cambodian Government has focused on "Education for all". ICT is a narrow area and although essential for a countries rapid development one must ensure that the basic education is also available. It is also three...

Thanks for that JM. The information is now a little dated so will see if I can find something more up to date. I am not being glass half full here - I am merely asking what is currently being done by the numerous expats in the education industry and NGO's focusing on education. it is easy to critici...

I am surprised that not one person has made comment on how to improve education in this country. The IMF/World bank must have funded a program on how to improve education in Cambodia during UNTAC and I imagine there would be ongoing reviews. Does anybody know of where to get these reviews? HE and hi...

Good article. My glass half full view of this administration is seriously compromised. What surprises me is the apparent lack of commitment to education. In most countries the poor want opportunity for their children. BBC world is currently showing an excellent series regarding absent parents from t...

Weight loss - although KIR thinks i am a Fat Fuck I have actually lost over 12 kgs through nothing more than walking more and eating less due to the clim...

Fair Point re eating out. Our House in the Province, which if I behave I will get to retire to, has plenty of Mango trees so the mangoes were free. A few chickens were culled for the meat. Last year it was duck. We bought the rice and 6 cases of Anchor (sorry LPB). Cost about $100 for a happy party ...

I have a free internet connection - via a provider. Great Service. KFC is cheaper here than in NZ and you can always use your ever popular coupon book for eating out bargains. In fact i wonder why people complain about the price of things at lucky as it's usually cheap enough to have at least one ma...

The Reggae Bar
The Reggae bar has finally opened after a five month gestation period. Opening night was relatvely quiet. There were no free beers hence no cheap charlies. It attracted a sizeable crowd. The food was good and free. A two story bar with a laid back atmosphere. The upstairs has a cushion bed and a sep...

I have never stayed at Villa Lanka but have a couple of friends who have. Great outside area and pool. Rooms OK but it is an old villa and boutique i.e not to new hotel standards. Guests must act with appropriate decorum to suit all tastes. Ralph Steadmanesque behavior is ok providing it is not nois...
