‘No-one’???
Yeah there are some people who don’t respect them and whilst they are obvious (when you are sitting sweating at at red light) they are in the minority.
You seem be living in a legend of Cambodia days gone by, things are improving - respect of traffic laws included.

Tell you what.
You get a motorcycle, and you drive ahead of your buddy, who films the carnage.
You don't look either way at a green light for you, you just drive, confident that the law-abiding citizens will be doing the right thing. You drive on the extreme right and never give way to vehicles traveling the wrong way, nor swerve to the left for double-parked or illegally-parked vehicles.
Let's start on 271, turn onto 217, and head down towards royal University of Agriculture, or perhaps you'd prefer Veng Sreng Road?
I give you less than 20 minutes.
Where did you buy that acid, btw?
Christ, they even ram trains, wake up.

You used an absolute statement. ‘Nobody respects traffic laws’. I countered by saying more do than don’t.
You are talking crap. Most people respect the laws, wearing helmets, red lights etc. Many don’t, I’m not denying that.
But I have seen a marked improvement in recent years.

I was in Ireland when they brought in a smoking ban in all bars, restaurants and work-places. It was one of the the first countries to bring in sweeping smoking laws, and like many others I didn't believe it would work. Amazingly it did. People just stopped smoking in those places. Pubs smelled terrible for a while - the BO, sweat and stale beer odors that had been masked by tobacco smoke for centuries suddenly stank. I was in New York that year too, and noticed that unlike in Ireland people were still sneaking in cigarettes in many bars. In Cambodia the smoking ban hasn't made a damn bit of difference. There have been restaurants like Freebird/ FCC/ Metro etc that have always banned smoking, but most places have just put up the stickers and completely ignored the new laws. I smoke like a trooper myself but don't have a problem with doing it where food is being served or away from people who don't like it. It is pretty gross when you don't do it yourself.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:I thought all bars and restaurants now were meant to be non-smoking

Bars and restaurants are normally stationary making it much easier to enforce laws unlike moving objects on endless miles of pavementHanno wrote:Yes. And people are supposed to stop at red lights too.....ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:I thought all bars and restaurants now were meant to be non-smoking

I just wondered if the change in Larry’s was because of the new law suddenly being enforced.

I agree with both of you ! There's improvement ! But it's still a mess on the road (awards going to moto coming wrong way and cars staying on the right to turn left )ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:Don’t be ridiculous.vladimir wrote:Tell you what.

As an update on the Larry's smoking situation, I heard a staff girl tell a customer at lunch time that he could smoke inside after 4 p.m.

I heard a customer complain about the smoking last night.
I hadn't even noticed it was no smoking.

You know what I don't like at Larry's? Those bamboo or wicker slatted placemats. They're probably impossible to clean, and they're always stained with various sauces and bits of food. They're gross.

Anywhere you go the menu will be the dirtiest thing you touch all night from my observations of male hand washing in the khazis of Phnom Penh.

But if a laminated menu gets sauce on it you can spray water on it and wipe it down and then it's clean. Those slatted bamboo placemats are germ catchers.

Seriously, if you gave a fuck about contamination.
You would never leave home.
I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.
