Well, theoretically they could increase flooding in Battambang. After all, they do contribute to water level at Tonle Sap Lake, where Stung Sangke flows into. Backwater effect causes higher water levels in the river when the lake water level is higher. While backwater effects are a contributing fac...

Re: Battambang Rising...
Good to get the latest news and pics and much appreciated but just one minor quibble...not a drop of rain that falls in Laos or Pursat is currently causing flooding in Battambang! The rains are all coming from the watershed of the Stung Sangke which is located to the west flowing from the hills alon...

What do you chaps talk about in the main? Discussing the girth of your reports and gdp-of-a-small-african-country rates can't take up a huge amount of time. Freelancers back home used to go on for hours about our labyrinthine methods of tax avoidance. That's a bit of a non-topic here I suppose. Mos...

Bugger me. I have a laptop, am white (the swarthiness is on the wane due the inclement weather) and wear a rather smart short sleeved shirt on occasion. What a pity? However, I don't much like the FCC. Overpriced and over here is one epithet that comes to mind. Hopeless service to boot. After clear...

Stammtisch Tonight 8 PM FCCC
This is some German word...but what it means is an informal meeting on the rooftop at FCCC for freelance consultants and others at 8 PM just to get to know whose around and doing what, opening up possibilities for work, or, as the Gov says, "having a work-related excuse to provide the wife while goi...

I think Phnom Penh is safe as long as you are sensible, I have never been robbed in PP (touch wood) and have never been a victim of crime... I'd agree with this, having been here more than 10 years without incident. Most friends I know of were robbed while very drunk, late at night, and returning v...

Re: Tax Question
I've got a question regarding income taxes; if you are employed in a foreign country do you still pay income taxes to your country of citizenship? Depends (no, not the adult nappies). If you are classified as a non-resident, then most countries don't tax your income. This usually takes 6 months of ...
