Military muscle.

Recent Bar discussion has touched on the subject of Generals and has left us with a need to clarify.

The UK has 84 Generals, I who have worked extensively with the British military have never met, let alone seen one of them.

Cambodia has possibly as many as 2500 Generals, some of these I have seen and met.

This leads us to the reason why?

In theory it is the number of Generals required to run the army at the peak of the Khmer empire.

Or enough Generals to lead a campaign to regain said empire.

Either way they are there and a sign of Khmer forward thinking, we so lucky!

Red is back to abnormal, as normal.

The partyin is over and the mess cleaned up, even the hardiest hangover has gone too.

Many thanks to the brave ones that turned up and made it one of the best nights the bar has ever seen, special thanks go out to the performers as their efforts made the night special, very special!

So God's bless Jose on flamenco guitar, Mark (smile tours) on mandolin, Frank on accordion, Eric (Bokor lodge) on guitar and Srey Mom and the backpacker on bongos.

On a different track, I19 is still scheduled to come out early next month, orders have been taken but duly forgotten as they were not written down, I shall endeavour to be more organised... One day.

Your input on this subject would be good, have a look at the link below and lets know what you think...
