Fred, I bow to you! Only an Englishman could such use gentle words as lethally as a bushi gives his short sword the cutting power of his katana. Well said sir! As I strive to rant & rage, anarchically stinging all, from my etymological hive, you ... Read More

Not if you spend $100 a year on world leading VPN tech & use a Tor browser. ISPs couldn't tell them where you are or where you've been, even with a blowtorch to their feet. You got to be smart to survive with an honest point of view in ... Read More
Vehicle Import Loopholes & unavoidable realitys in the Kingdom by Buddhasmafia
I left behind a beautifully maintained '85 Chevy pickup when I moved here on a fulltime basis in May. This isn't a K30 or a Silverado, it has a non civilian designation- M1008[9]CUCV. My wife has become convinced I love this truck only a ...

Your compliment humbles me, however I'll accept it only for writing well. My personal overview of regional history is no work of art, just a personally opinionated point making exercise about how the political history in the region & ... Read More

Thank you for those kind words sir. On the rare occasions I offer my thoughts on this forum, the moderators get nervous. Although I've never been treated with anything but respect by them, they do warn me that the longevity of my [published] ... Read More

Try talking politics with an average Cambodian. Most of them will either very bluntly & obviously change the subject or stop talking to you completely. As an expat, of course I hold my own views on politics in this country, however as Kampuchea ... Read More
Buddhist jewelry in Hanoi by Buddhasmafia
We are in Hanoi until 6/9/18. Looking for a pair of jade/Obsidian/stone amulets - particularly Kwan Yin/Kannon & Amida Buddha-for my girlfriend and I. Anyone know a good place to go looking? There's no shortage but so far they're either ...
They informed me very politely of their regretful deletion per rules, but kindly made the point obliquely that it was only due to the rules & not through any offense caused, so I don't mind. I'm a writer, a ranted & a stirrer; I love ... Read More

Thanks for that, but veni vidi vici'd Hanoi, busted back through Angkor to Bangkok & now back in sluggish cold NZ. Summer lies ahead yet & after the harvest in April I'm shooting the gap back to Kampuchea permanently. Really happy ... Read More

Hi, I'm a fit 50 year old kiwi. I fell in love with Cambodia - in fact I'd never felt as at home as when I first arrived in phnom Penh. Life is very real here in all aspects, it's humanity laid bare. Coming from an overprivleged westen ... Read More
