Barcamp Phnom Penh review

This will be very easy: It was awesome. Everything was right, great venue, Internet was working well, interesting and informative session, I met nice people and had great talks and a great time as well. As always, I learned a lot in Cambodia.

Cambodias Ministry of Tourism: just a joke

The Ministry of tourism, internationally well known as the "funny people" but never taken serious, has a nice ticker on their website:

Cambodia - Kingdom of Wonder Clean City, Clean Resort and Good Service, All for tourism and tourism for all.


Ok, they may missed English in school and got a photoshoped certificate (quite usual for high ranking guys), but beside posting nonsense like the above they don't do anything. When you try to get the latest numbers of tourists, they provide you January as the latest statistics

Ok, Goverment officials are quite busy with their own businesses and collecting money, but, come on guys, just put some numbers there. I mean, you always put some numbers there without any proof that they are actually right. So you are not even able to that anymore??

No Bluetooth anymore in Cambodia?

THE government and municipal police are ramping up efforts to curtail the distribution of pornographic videos by cracking down on computer-to-phone and phone-to-phone transmission, officials said Thursday.

That actually means that bluetooth isn't allowed anymore? Come on guys, before banning porn just close all the karaoke bars and ban all you government staff from going there (it might be the case that some senior officials children, over 18 of course, are actors in these movies???)

Kambodscha steckt AIDS-Kranke in Kolonie

NGOs protestieren gegen “Aids Kolonien” in Kambodscha

Die kambodschanische Regierung hat seit Juni rund 40 von Aids betroffene Familien aus der Hauptstadt Phnom Penh in einen Vorort umgesiedelt. Rund 100 Menschenrechts- und soziale Hilfsorganisationen protestierten jetzt in einem Brief an die kambodschanische Führung gegen die Einrichtung solcher “Aids-Kolonien”. Die Betroffenen müssen nach einem Bericht von Human Rights Watch in Blechhütten hausen und haben keine angemessene Versorgung mit Wasser und sanitären Anlagen.
