Question

Hmm, Phnom Penh - now THERE'S a culture shock for some of our boys who reckon Asia is typified by Hong Kong and Singapore. Ol' Slasher in Viet Nam can probably fill some of you in on the delights to be found along the Mekong - yes it runs through the centre of PP, sometimes literally after heavy rain.. .But a Martini at the end of the day is pretty welcome sometimes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> .. .Without wanting to dampen anyone's enthusiasm, be aware that TB (tuberculosis) is prevalent in Cambodia - as is HIV/AIDS!! But pirated computer software, Levi jeans, and quality jewellery is cheap! Cambodia is has plentiful supplies of rubies, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds (and hookers)!. .. .A fun place to work (if the money is okay), and an easy place to lose your salary if you're not careful - 38's and 45's are some of the smaller calibre stuff the locals carry!. .. .If you have any health problems that require regular checks and medication, you might want to consider that BEFORE committing yourself to a contract.. .. .What bikkies are you offering, LP?. .Are you employing F/O's as well as captains?. .What's the deal on the accomodation? Is it provided, or is it find your own, and if the latter, what's the standard?. .How about English TV eg. CNN, BBC, etc?
