Is there still that weird daytime rave party place in the basement parking of the New Market/Lucky Mall place?
Bringing the news. You stay classy, nas, Cambodia.

I'm guessing he's a passport stamp collector. Airport to hotel. Quick taxi ride round town. Then back to the airport. Another country done.Jackal wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 4:29 pmYou have visited 99% of all shithole countries on earth, but haven't been west of Monivong?gavinmac wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 10:45 pmI saw the CNE article today about the naked Nigerian being arrested in Stung Meanchey.
I think I've seen other news and posts lately involving foreigners and Stung Meanchey.
Isn't that where the big garbage dump is with the scavenger kids?
Why would a foreigner go there? Are there a fair number of foreigners living there? Who? Why?
I never go west of Monivong of course. What kind of foreigners live in Stung Meanchey? I'm picturing Daun Penh as the neighborhood for Western sexpats, BKK for NGO-types, Russian Market for digital nomad hipsters, and Stung Meanchey for . . . who? Factory workers and Westerners living in $60 a month rooms? Is Stung Meanchey the new Russian Market now that Russian Market has been gentrified?
Time to call up Ta and his Tuk tuk and get exploring.
If so, it's the equivalent of the tourist that 'sees' Vietnam by visiting Hanoi for three days then flying directly to Ho Chi Minh for the rest of the week.
Up the workers!

I usually go the other direction for my shopping needs. TTP is 5 min. away via st.432, and so most of my western groceries are bought around there. Also 1&1 market on 271 has the nicest staff in the city. So, no need to go to Lucky market. But hey, it's not full of rude tourists there either, most of the white people shopping there are long termers, living a quiet life.

Darn it, you just made me feel like a fluffy yuppie..
But inside the 'Mean Chey' district should work just as well for fending off sales people from various country and golf clubs here.

I used to be in Stung Meanchey a lot (because of CUS there). It's a bit of a hole, but does have a few amenities, although it is a huge area. It's always been known for the area that Africans tend to live in. Apparently AEON III is being built at the edge of the district too, which might make the area more trendy.
Shortly before he died, I visited Boomer at his place in deepest Russey Keo. Now that is a slum.
Incidentally he gave me a generator bought off R***c***s, which he said he never used. Got home, managed to finally get it started and it blew up the fan used to test it, a literal fan explosion. But, I disgress.

It's being built on Hun Sen Boulevard, which is Meanchey district but quite a few Km from Stung Meanchey. Most of the streets in the area aren't planned in a grid like the central districts so many are narrow and wiggly.

True, some of those streets are quite medieval. A few good sized fires should do the trick when the land price goes up.
