The Post is Now Daily

In ពីនេះពីនោះ on Wednesday, August 6, 2008 at 9:18 PM

Cambodia’s longest running English-language newspaper, the Phnom Penh Post is now daily. Surprisingly, its price is now down to KHR 2,500 per copy from previously KHR 4,000, despite being 100% color. Readers can also access the PDF version of the paper from its website, simply by signing a free membership. I hope the paper will keep this free service available always. That’ll be a really awesome way for me to catch up with news at home!

Kudos to the Post team for the innovation!

Preah Vihear & Cyber-nationalists

In Cambodia, Cyber-nationalism, Preah Vihear, Thailand, เขาพระวิหาร on Wednesday, August 6, 2008 at 8:46 PM

In its first daily edition, the Phnom Penh Post today published an article discussing the recent trend in cyber-nationalism surrounding the Preah Vihear dispute in the Cambodian and Thai blogosphere. Written by Brendan Brady, the article also quoted several comments from my blog post, “Bark with a Better Sense, Please.”

And just a small correction, I am not a student of RUPP as stated in the article. I guess you all know what I do right? :)

Check it out!

Counting Down

In My Life on Friday, August 1, 2008 at 11:12 PM

Two more weeks to go and I am gonna say another goodbye to Cambodia!

Part of me is very excited about the commencement of my Ph. D. program and life in a brand new place. Yet another part of me really wishes I could be home longer. For a fact, I’ve only been back for a few months and, to be candid, haven’t had enough fun with my family and friends yet. Anyways, can’t really whine. That’s life. C’est la vie.

Minneapolis here I come! Bye Bye Cambodia!
