Back Ontrack?

It took one semester to overcome the problems that started with (yet another) hard disk crash that had wiped out most of my source code while a visit by friends from my home country retarded the development of new code. Not all issues have been solved yet, and lots more programming needs to be done, but we have once more the basic tools in place to revive our web service.

Wish me success...

1. Mysterious Cambodia

Map of Cambodia

Planning to spend your holidays in Cambodia? Are you looking for travel information?

"Angkor Wat" is Cambodia's main tourist attraction. In the dry season, thousands of tourists are dropped daily at Siem Reap's international airport for the sole purpose of a one-day visit to Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is just one temple in an ancient Khmer capital that has been abandoned to the jungle. So, there's much more to see than Angkor Wat at Angkor. There's Angkor city: a complex of cities that expanded as the Khmer empire rose to the zenith of its power.

 

  • This section shows you around in the unknown and enchanting Cambodia. Where to go and where to stay away on your next vacation, all is made clear to you. Plenty of historical and cultural background is provided. The section is full of tourist advice to make your visit to our country a guaranteed success. There is also a summary of all towns of some importance in our chapter Towns and Cities including Batambang , Cambodia's second largest city and Sihanoukville , the country's popular beach destination.

 

  • Going to Angkor? We brought all the information together in one section with suggestions for one-day, two-days and three-days visits. A visit to the world heritage site of Angkor Wat and surrounding temples and monuments is indispensable for first-time visitors.
  • Keep in mind that there is more to see and experience in Cambodia than Angkor. We are compiling all this fascinating information in our section Temples and Sites and update it frequently.

 

  • After the thorough destruction of the country, Cambodians still need aid, now that the international community has shifted its attention to more recent disasters. We provide you some suggestions to make your contribution reach the most destitute and the neediest.

2. Phnom Penh inside out

Phnom Penh map

 

 

This section is more than an essential travel guide describing the Phnom Penh sights and it is more than a survival kit. Even useful for the Phnom Penh residents, it includes our own listing of recommended Phnom Penh hotels, bars and restaurants and other places for amusement and recreation. The town has a vivid nightlife, so we want to keep you clued-up about the most interesting nightspots.

The first sights to experience when you're new in town are Wat Phnom, the Royal palace, the National museum and Independence monument.  If you have time for anything more, you must go and see Tuol Sleng, the genocide museum. This will of course confront you with the realities of Cambodia's civil war. You should thereafter visit the Cheung Ek killing fields to complete the experience.

This and much more sights and tourist attractions are hidden in this section. The former capital of Oudong would be one of our first suggestions if you are looking a foretaste of Cambodia's glorious history.

We also offer you suggestions for short one-day excursions from the capital to places with a cultural and historical significance such as Angkor Borei or Phnom Chi Sor. Or we may advise Cambodian favourites like Kirirum National Park in Kampong Speu province or Koki beach in the vicinity of Phnom Penh.

Phnom Penh Inside Out brings you Phnom Penh like it is today, in a rush to mend the damage from an unjust war.

Cambodia's Condom Campaign Faces Legal, Financial Issues, Health Official Says

Cambodia's so-called 100% Condom Use campaign is being threatened by legal and financial issues, and the country could experience a resurgence of the disease, a health official said on Wednesday.

According to Tia Phalla of Cambodia's National AIDS Authority, the condom campaign -- which provides sex education and condoms to commercial sex workers -- is "facing difficulties" because of a new law against sex trafficking and inadequate financial support. Following the passage of the law in February, police began targeting brothels, which reportedly has forced sex workers to leave condoms as they move from location to location.

New Significance for bin Laden Hunt

Of all the unfinished business of his presidency, the hunt for Osama bin Laden may be the most vexing for President Bush.

Mr. bin Laden’s whereabouts, and why he has not been captured "dead or alive,” as Mr. Bush vowed just days after Sept. 11, 2001, invariably come up in Washington conversation this time of year, as the nation marks the anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Now, with Mr. Bush just having commemorated his final Sept. 11 as president on Thursday, the question looms larger than ever.
