But it’s not, really. It’s probably more like a small town. There’s community theater - so you can see <i>a</i> play once every few months. There are a few bars that show depressing Khmer Rouge documentaries, and a French Cultural Center that shows depressing French films and a bunch of things in that vein. For the most part, if you want choice when it comes to your passive entertainment, you’ll have to go the route of bootlegged new release DVDs, or bars or theoretically, books. OH BUT DID I MENTION THERE’S A CASINO? The town has one casino. It’s enthralling. NagaWorld is a hotel and a bunch of restaurants and a lot of random floors that are fun to wander around until you get caught and a casino! The stakes are low and they’ll bring you drinks for free (as long as you don’t bother to divide losses among your drink) and there’s even a room with a fake sky painted on the ceiling and some tiny Venetian-style streams underfoot. I won, so I’m very keen on NagaWorld. Stay tuned for my inevitable future backlash.</p>http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/116617452http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/116617452Tue, 02 Jun 2009 11:10:05 +0700<img src="http://12.media.tumblr.com/ROykNt6hto7mrvbhaZq4IZQro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Flower vendors, construction workers at the Central Market.</p>http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/116615198http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/116615198Tue, 02 Jun 2009 11:04:50 +0700<img src="http://16.media.tumblr.com/ROykNt6htnvkuhumZO78H4Ogo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Massive construction projects = everyone’s favorite time killer.

Incidentally, all parties involved swear the super-luxe Gold Tower won’t be at all endangered by the recession.  Still, I’m not sure I’d like to have stake in an apartment there these days.</p>http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/112380996http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/112380996Mon, 25 May 2009 00:37:00 +0700<img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/ROykNt6htnvkl63xQffpxiJ9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/112378537http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/112378537Mon, 25 May 2009 00:30:24 +0700<img src="http://7.media.tumblr.com/ROykNt6htnvj7x0gFcPyL4MNo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/112365761http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/112365761Sun, 24 May 2009 23:52:06 +0700<img src="http://2.media.tumblr.com/ROykNt6htnvhzy40hiHTWSiUo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Burmese delights at Wynn Myanmar. awful junta; awesome food</p>http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/112353919http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/112353919Sun, 24 May 2009 23:17:55 +0700There’s a pretty mind-blowing array of restaurants in this city, but somehow I keep eating at...http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/110400996http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/110400996Wed, 20 May 2009 15:46:00 +0700<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="266" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4690184&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4690184&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /></object><br/><br/><p>More post-storm photos <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=32852318&id=2900314&l=c4e8af95bc" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/109013848http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/109013848Sun, 17 May 2009 20:08:00 +0700<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/ROykNt6htnla4gfqhDYfoQHLo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>During the deluge.</p>http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/109006487http://penhedin.tumblr.com/post/109006487Sun, 17 May 2009 19:39:47 +0700Me: Can you please update your f--ing blog?
