Anyone Successfully Sent a Postcard Home? by anthonyteo
So I just bought a few nice Cambodian postcards and they've been lying around for a while now, and I'm thinking maybe I really should send them out after all - it sounds kinda cool to send out postcards in this Internet age. (I have never sent out a ...

It's been a while since I arrived in PP and I've been approached by children quite a few times either to beg for money or to ask me to buy something from them. Now I'm pretty firm on not giving the kids money as it encourages them to beg, which is ...

Tap Water in PP Unclean - How True is It? by anthonyteo
Hi all, The first day I landed in PP, someone told me that the water here is unsafe for consumption, and that she and her friends use mineral water to cook and brush their teeth, etc. As such, I've listened to her advice and did the same. Coz' at ...
Hi Anthony, I cannot be 100% sure, but my daughter has lived in PP for 12 years, and has always understood that drinking the tap water there is one of the surest ways to get a serious stomach upset. Also it is advised not to accept broken ice from ... Read More
