The Cheapest Guest-House in Town

If you are looking into pub brawls, or cheap smack deals, or illicit sex practices, this is the place where you eventually will end up.
Our volunteer Helena Manzares from Spain has recently shot some pictures inside the jail, where DonBoscoTech is running its own educational project to ensure a better future to the young inmates.

Chinese New year is coming....

Many of you surely had noticed the obiquitous red shirts on yellow-repainted motorbikes roamin' continuously around town. No, they ain't cell-phone providers' salesmen, they are the staffers of M'lop Tapang, patrolling the streets at any time of the day outreaching for children at risk and checking red-light areas. On their shirts you can find an hot-line phone number to call in case you should notice a situation in which a children is at risk.
It's good to know they are around.

By the way, our Foundation runs its own Children Fund (click here) and Litteracy Centers in various provinces; we are pretty concerned about children at risk, too.

It is also good to know that the blue shirts ( Khmer traffic cops) are mobilized in force these days and set up roadblocks at night searching for weapons. It is known that the period between the Chinese and the Khmer new years is the one with the higher number of robberies and thefts.

The top of the tourist hi-season has been already reached, and we noticed a net decrease of foreign tourists and an increase of Khmer tourists, especially during the december 31 New Year eve, when the beaches around town were crammed by people dancing, drinking and having fun, thousands of fireworks were lit and the town's clinics were working around the clock to bandage and stitch the hundreds of intoxicated Khmers ( and Barangs alike) victims of road accidents.

Prosit !

GONG XI FA CAI ! Happy Chinese New Year from the Web House and its Staff.
