Cambodia Bans Internet Cafes Near Schools

To agree with this circular would be go against the freedom of choice and freedom of choice should be everyone's right to practice it freely. I really do not agree that closing all internet cafe's in school area's will have any effect on where kids will go to get their internet fix. Student's will choose to do what they do when they want to. If they choose to risk their studies over some internet gaming and other things, then that's they choice they have to deal with when they get older and realize that what they did was not worth it. This is something that a Dictator would instill to prevent those who choose to use the internet for freedom of information.

The internet is a vast world filled with information and learning material. To take away that would be only taking away from those who choose to use the internet for the right reason. I say that these bans are unnecessary and uncalled for. This should be given to the people to vote and not some government organization who thinks they are doing some good by violating people's rights by taking something away that the rest of the world has access to freely.

Cambodia has a lot to learn when it comes to education. You can see it when you visit the schools. They already don't have access to many resources and taking away more from those who can't afford internet at home is only suppressing their ability to learn when they choose to.

  1. Freedom of choice is an illusion in any society. Our freedoms are restricted wherever we live. I welcomed the closure of the Cambo Six gambling facilities because they were preying on Cambodians who couldn't afford to gamble. I suppose the reason for the banning of internet cafes near schools is to discourage students from spending the day playing games and encourage them to attend school. I've had to work at an internet café from time to time and no one is there to learn. They are all playing games or chatting on Facebook.

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.
