There'll be a double dose of Arts and culture this Saturday evening

Hello all,

There'll be a double dose of Arts and culture this Saturday evening...

Firstly Sammaki (87, St 2.5) will be showing shortlisted entries for the Artists for Human Rights and Action, "Visulaising Human Rights 2012 Art competition...

This is an International competition (there is a concurrent exhibition running in Melbourne) and artists were asked to interpret articles 3 and 4 of the UN Convention on Human rights, "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person" and "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms."

So join us at Sammaki from 5pm until 6:30 to see how local Battambang artists interpreted these articles.

The exhibition will run for a month.

THEN!

After dropping by Sammaki, from 6pm, Make Maek (66, St 2.5) will present:

" Cambodia, News I remember"

The first Cambodians visited Paris in 1860, Angkor Wat was at the center of the Colonial Exhibition and the "Petit Journal" (published daily in Paris from 1863 to 1944) showed photos of the newly re discovered temples on its front page.

Mathieu Damperon, a Battambang resident for several years, has collected unique examples of these magazines, articles and 150 year old photographs published in the French daily press...

See you all on Saturday!

Gecko Cafe In Battambang

(Updated) The Gecko has moved to street #1 and is now called The Kitchen. Food Gecko Cafe is located on the corner of Street 3 and 119. The place sits atop Gecko Moto's. I visit this place lot's of times during my stay in Battambang and when it comes to wanting a little western taste, this is one of my favorite spots. They serve good western food including burgers, pizza, salads and more. They also have Mexican food ranging from tacos to burritos and more. The Taco salad I had last was great and reminded me of home a little. Also, being in Cambodia, you can't forget about the Khmer dishes. I haven't tried alot of Khmer food here but I can say that the fried rice was good. They also serve some alcohol drinks. Besides being a little pricey for the locals, the money you pay for food here is well worth it. So enjoy! Service Ano...

Police Blotter: 14 Nov 2012

It’s a bird, it’s a plane – no, it’s a tuk-tuk driver A quick-thinking tuk-tuk driver turned the tables on a pair of would-be bag snatchers in the wee hours of Monday morning, ending their shenanigans by using his own vehicle as a battering ram. The two villains, 18 and 19, made their move after the driver had picked up a pair of foreign fares at Phnom Penh International Airport. When the teens made their move, the female passenger resisted, giving our tuk-tuk hero the chance to turn his vehicle into the thugs and send them tumbling to the ground. Police have sent the duo to court.
