Off the rails in Phnom Penh
Off the rails in Phnom Penh
Having a bit of a sort out and came across this blast from the past.
Glad my daughters weren’t at school when this lot were teaching.
Anyone remember Phnom Penh in the mid 90’s?

Anyone of you in the book? Maybe reply as guest if you are.
At least there wasn’t ice back then.

k440, something to do when you're pissed.
I would read it just to see if I recognized anyone, or since some are composite characters, to see if some events rang true, but folks at the time, to make themselves feel a bit better perhaps, said the author behaved on par with most in the story. They didn't say he got it all wrong, they said he was a hypocrite in pretending innocence. Wild times sure, but I don't think the expat per capita death toll was any higher the first 10 years after UNTAC than the following ten.
Well, when you get back eh!
pew, pew, pew, pew!
There are long term expats in Cambodia who haven't read "Off the Rails"? Really? Whoa...

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
