Goodbye Phnom Penh

The work trip to Phnom Penh had been incredible even with the scorching heat and impolite stall vendors at the Russian market. One visit to the partner's left an impression hard to erase: hearing from the horses' mouth about the fight put up by the urban poor in the now famous and backed by Washington "Free the 15" campaign. Land grabbing is such a huge issue in Cambodia and I believe that the corporates involved should be shamed in their home countries. It's unbelievable what some put others through in their acquisition of power and wealth.
