    I was in Siem Reap a few years ago. But I have not been back to PP since 1997. The place has changed so much. In 97 it was dangerous to walk the streets after dark and the roads were deserted at night.

    A couple of decades back they might have built it the same in the west, i.e. with no concern for the workers lives. Fortunately we have moved on. For those that take over the apartment at least they still have a few trees to look at, and it could have been worst, it could have been yet another high rise block.

    Just got back from a month in Cambodia. Loved my time there, and will most likely move there in the future. That is one fugly building for sure. There is just so much construction going on all at the same time. Sihanoukville is even worse with skeleton buildings that ran out of funding during covid.

      Would be nice all workers being looked after, however third world countries have not gotten that stage yet. No one deserved to imprisoned, at least they provided the jobs. Otherwise these workers would be living in worse condition. Just appreciated how lucky we are living in a better country that’s all, don’t be judgmental. 👍

      Exactly. If you went back in time and shutdown all the businesses that used what would now be considered shady practices, many of the companies you know and love would be gone. In time Cambodia will catch up to the western world.

    Sara, let me tell you a secret. This will not last. You are better than this. You shouldn’t have to walk on eggshells and prolifically apologize as you do for just accidentally bumping into the camera like that. Find someone who will not care about the damn camera but is more worried if you are hurt or not. The situation will not change. Make preparations and then let go. You are strong and you can stand by yourself. You will then open for an opportunity to meet someone who will be good to you. I don’t know if this will be deleted before you have a chance to see but here it is.
