In order to vote in the November 2020 elections, all overseas U.S. citizens need to have completed a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) in 2020. Whether you are...

The Council for the Development of Cambodia approves investment projects here... do they announce each project they approve? Is there a running list to see these projects?

Anyone have a look at the paper today? Is it Monday or Tuesday?

I'm surprised that not more of the returned Khmericans make the news for getting arrested. Or have I just missed it?

Well it's been 2 months since the 50 or so metres of new road was built for show just off Rd4. Since then nothing, at least not around this end. Now it's a selfie spot. https://z-p3-scontent.fpnh5-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/57459356_10155958688481681_7292131226180124672_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_ht=z-p3-...
