Dr. Suess,
Believe me, I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees, I speak for the trees as the trees have no tongues...
Sorry, not lauging at any particular guy being drugged and spewing... just the description offered and the conclusions drawn (or suggested), the story is nasty...as I said death, or closeness death, is sad. I not judging the quality of the character of the dude who has been a victim this time... Just trying to make a point... Whenever anything 'bad' happens to anyone in Cambodia there is some great theory/story/warning etc. offered up... in this case the 'ungrateful bar girl not respecting the honourable title of sister from the kind men who paid for her but did not fuck because they have morals (read girlfriends)' one.
The Diana's Brother one sort of illustrates this... Some guy lives the hard life for years in Cambodia and sadly eventually he dies (perhaps)... but, this in itself is not news worthy in Cambodia So, you get the endless stories of suicide, murder, overdoes on a million different things conspiracies/versions/ideas and his relatives become very important in terms of interest... Straight out death seems not to phase people... and that is what is REALLY sad. It's not the death that is of interest it's the mode... Wow, ramble... sorry... I'm getting nowhere... I'll see if I can get some clarity and come back to this...
No excuses (or laughs, I might add) for anyone poisioning anyone - Noone deserves a poisoning - but, one incident does not quite warrant calls regarding bar girls using "date-rape" drugs to ruin the lives of poor punters.
I suppose the lesson in all of this, one that your friend has learned the hard way, is take care before you take it upon yourself to make new siblings and drink drinks that have been out of your site...Not in Cambodia, well, nowhere.
More foreigners die at #9
I should throw my tupence worth in as I lived and almost died twice in no 9.
period (93-96)
coming back from martini's one morning
I harboured in "the funcinpec" until
5 and then moto-ed it back, but one time one of them stopped near the
mosque and whacked me one (che-ang k'bal) suddenly light on my feet I arrived at no9, had them cracking ice to put on my swelling head !
Knowing the french doctors were't in the calmette (and that I had no cash)
, I was relieved when I woke up the next day and found that all I had was a yellow head.
next one was when the neighbour's mother got her son to shoot at me because I was a barang who was sleeping on the site of a tree and the spirit was angry ( all was excused when I helped the son fish the mother out of the lake )
of course it was financial jealousy , and the son finally built another jetty
and poached the cook (who was a cham)
I was amazed to see how widespread it's become
