Battambang develops

THURSDAY, 13 MAY 2010 15:00 SOEUN SAY

The owner of a US$29 million residential development project in Battambang is expected to complete the first of its three phases by early 2011, but the completion date for the whole project hangs in the balance as the construction sector struggles to recover from the global financial crisis. Sok Sambath, project manager for Canadia Bank, which is managing the Battambang Commercial City development, said: “We don’t know when we will complete the whole project because the economic situation is still not good. We’re waiting for an improvement in economic recovery.” The project lies on 6 hectares in Battambang city. Sok Sambath is confident the development will sell well once it is built. “According to our research in this area we found that people living in this city have a good livelihood and income – that’s why we decided to develop this project here,” he said.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
