On the coast of Cambodia near the Vietnamese border lies the town of Kep. We heard about this place from an Irish couple we met in Laos. They told us that Kep is a great place to relax and to get away from “touristy rubbish.” Relaxing sounds good, getting away from touristy stuff sounds good, I guess we’ll go to Kep.

There’s nothing in this world that we cannot face to it. Take a deep breath and think. Sometime we need to go far and come back to understand thing. But drug will never be a solution. When you wake up, the problem is still here, waiting for you to resolve.
Cambodian Addicts Abused in Detention, Rights Group Says is written by SETH MYDANS for The New York Times.
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Nguyen Minh Tam said he got used to the routine during three months in a government drug detention center, although he sometimes lost consciousness: three punches to the chest when he woke up in the morning and three more before he went to bed.

Poverty in Cambodia is rife due to years of terrorism and civil war and corruption within the government. Forced evictions also have had an impact on the numbers of families living on the streets.
While Cambodia is on a path to greater economic development, poverty is still widespread with 40 percent of the population living under the poverty line according to various UN agencies.
Getty Images photographer Paula Bronstein provides an intimate look at poverty in the capital city of Phnom Penh.
This is not the first time we see such things, we could see almost every tourist sites. I accepted that there’s Poverty in Cambodia, a lot of people trying to do their best for living. But I could see also the lazy people that don’t want to try to do their best to earn their life properly. I still believe they still can do it better rather than being a beggar. Come to town doesn’t always a good thing. Being a farmer, earn a living and live properly would be the good choice.
Anyway those photos would remind to the authorities to have a look and do something.
