  1. God is on your side.

    Clean from addiction for two weeks. Booked a tuk-tuk, wandered into a park, and by pure luck bumped into two cool girls carrying Cambodian flags fresh from a rally. Three of us on one motorbike, flag in hand, Indian women laughing at us as we rode past.

    This is what happens when your vibes are high — you attract, as they say in Asia, same same.

  6. It feels chaotic, but for me there's peace in it. I'm in flow with it. Rush, rush — it matches my energy.

    Tuk-tuks, rickshaws, motorbikes, black vans, gridlock. Walking diagonally through traffic on my own two feet. I forgot what a big city feels like. I missed this.

    I'm back in the city, moving with it — and it moves with me.

  8. After the raids, #Asia’s billion-dollar #scam #trade flickers back
    🧐"in #PhnomPenh. Chen runs deliveries, & despite recent #scamcentre crackdowns, he’s still sending bags of pork & rice to his regular customers in te high building at the end of te street where lights stay on at night.. They're just waiting for their time to go back. It's not a real #crackdown.. US Institute of Peace report notes scam #networks often gain access to regional #government & business #elites"

  9. fascinating history of the rise and fall of one of the world's top scam lords operating out of #Cambodia, Prince Group CEO Chen Zhi from one of the incredibly brave Cambodian reporters on the ground who've been tracking the takeover of the country by Chinese organized crime, funded by crypto scams.

    Zhi was just arrested and extradited (to china) and the US government seized $13 billion worth of his #bitcoin a few months ago (China got the man, US got the bitcoins).

    #PrinceGroup and the massive #pigbutchering cyberscam slave compounds Chen Zhi operated are among the biggest users of #Tether's #stablecoin #USDT on Trump business partner #JustinSun's blockchain #Tron.

  10. A spot to enjoy the slow, relaxing teatime of the soul

    Sisowath Quay riverside walk along Tonle River stretches past Royal Palace to Koh Pich.

    There is always a cooling breeze making daytime city exploring bearable. The trees provides some shadow.

    This riverside is an essential part of visiting Phnom Penh, capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The pearl of Asia are defined by the rivers around and cutting through it.

    Il y a 50 ans aujourd'hui les #KhmersRouges entrent dans #PhnomPenh , applaudis par #Libé et #LeMonde. Ils feront plusieurs millions de morts et laisseront un pays dévasté pour des décennies.
    Pour bien connaître cette question, avoir vécu plusieurs années au Cambodge, et avoir rencontré des survivants de cet enfer, je suis (G.Ernner aussi je crois) en désaccord avec plusieurs déclarations de l'intervenante, qui a minimisé nombre de faits.

  19. 🚨 More than 600 people detained in massive raid on #pigbutchering¹ slave compound in #Cambodia supported by #Chinese police.

    The #PRC has really started cracking down on #Triads and their slave compounds in SE Asia lately...

    ¹ this is a little bit of interpolation on my part; the news only mentions #cyberscams... but I've never seen a slave compound in #SEAsia that was not a pig butchering slave compound.

  20. Season: រដូវ

    #Khmer #Cambodia #PhnomPenh #Mnemonics #Language

    This word means season in most expected ways, and is used colloquially to mean even more.

    An interesting tidbit I learned whilst doing some research is that according to ancient Cambodian writings there were six seasons of 59 days each: cold season (រដូវរងា); very cold season (រដូវរងាខ្លាំង); season of growth (in trees); hot season (រដូវក្ដៅ); rainy season (រដូវភ្លៀង), and foggy season.

  21. CW: Memories of Cambodia 2018 - Black and White street photography

    A trip through Cambodia in 2018 was the most amazing experience. Despite the country’s dark history of political turmoil and genocide under the Khmer Rouge’s brutal regime and commonplace poverty today, it’s people are beautiful, brave and resilient. Some black and white images from our travels.
