IT was 10 p.m. in Siem Reap, and while most tourists were tucked in after a long, hot day exploring the temples of Angkor, things were just getting going at a bar called Linga. Pairs of European men in their 30s and 40s wearing unbuttoned collared shirts and checkered krama scarves sipped fruity cocktails and jostled for space with the young Khmer crowd, who huddled around small tables in anticipation of the main event: the Saturday night drag show.

One of the worst mental health crises in Asia gets precious little attention and money.
By Aubrey Belford — Special to GlobalPost
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Psychiatrist Sotheara Chhim has given more thought than most to the mental burdens carried by Cambodians.
Pointing to a glass of water on his table, he describes how the legacy of decades marred by war, genocide and enduring poverty still help push so many here over the edge.
“I think every Cambodian is like a glass carrying some water, meaning the traumatic past,” he said. “If more water is put in, the glass fills easier than an empty glass.”

In March 1969, President Richard Nixon authorized secret bombing raids in Cambodia, a move that escalated opposition to the Vietnam War in Ohio and across the United States.
Nixon believed North Vietnam was transporting troops and supplies through neighboring Cambodia into South Vietnam. He hoped that bombing supply routes in Cambodia would weaken the United States’ enemies.
The bombing of Cambodia lasted until August 1973. While the exact number of Cambodian casualties remains unknown, most experts estimate that 100,000 Cambodians lost their lives, with an additional two million people becoming homeless. Enhancing the destruction, in April 1970, President Nixon ordered United States troops to occupy parts of Cambodia.
Nixon claimed that the soldiers were protecting the United States’ withdrawal from South Vietnam. American soldiers quickly withdrew, but their presence, along with the air strikes, convinced many Cambodians to overthrow their government, leading to the rise of the Khmer Rouge, a communist and despotic government.
Many Americans opposed the Vietnam War. When media outlets publicized the events in Cambodia, critics of the war became more vocal. College students across the United States became increasingly outspoken in their opposition to the war. In Ohio, at Kent State University, students set fire to the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) building.
Governor James Rhodes called out the Ohio National Guard to restore order at Kent State. The National Guardsmen opened fire on protestors at the campus, with four students dying. Students at other college campuses in Ohio and in the rest of the United States continued to protest the Vietnam War and its escalation into Cambodia.

I still find out if it’s real story or fiction but it is well written. Imagine how hard it was in Khmer Rouge Regime.
We are in Cambodia. Here, anything can happen. And everything did. I am suddenly surrounded by the impoverished souls of terminally broken people. These, little did they know it then, would turn out to be the future monsters of this lost and tragic nation.
They came silently in the night, protected by their tattooed darkened faces and, of course, the brush.

Gold and copper miner Oz Minerals Ltd (ASX:OZL) says it has found an inferred resource of 605,000 ounces at its Cambodian gold project.
The discovery has encouraged the company to continue exploration in the region, which is its only advanced exploration project outside of its core operation at South Australia’s Prominent Hill copper and gold mine.
Oz Minerals was forced to sell-off nearly all of its key assets last year to dig itself out of debt, leaving it with Prominent Hill as its only producing mine and about $1.08 billion in cash.
But the company has bounced back with its Cambodian project.
The initial inferred resource at the mine is for 8.1 million tonnes at 2.3 grams per tonne for 605,000 ounces of gold.
The company says it considers the discovery as a foundation asset from which to build its resource base.
It believes the next phase of exploration in Cambodia will be a clear indicator of the potential for over two million ounces of gold in the region.
Oz Minerals posted a loss of $517.3 million for the 2009 calendar year.
