inephiles rejoice! The German
Week of Film has arrived, and
it’s free for all you cheapskates,
skinflints, volunteers and,
well, anybody at all who’s interested in
checking out some of the finest movies from
Deutschland over the last 60 years .
The German embassy in Phnom Penh has
combined with the Goethe Institute and the
nice folks at Meta House to present a special
programme of films that will screen at Lux
Cinemas on Monivong and Meta House from
November 5-11.
The inspiration behind the cinematic
celebration is the 20/60 anniversary – it’s 20
years since the fall of the Berlin wall and the
reunification of Germany in 1989, and it’s
60 years since the post-war founding of the
modern Republic of Germany, in 1949.
German Ambassador to Cambodia Frank
Mann says: “We take these anniversaries
as a reason to reach out to the Cambodian
public and invite them to celebrate with
us. We hope these films provide a better
understanding of Germany.”
Meta House founder and organiser of the
German Week of Film, Nico Mesterharm,

 6 HEALTH & BEAUTY
Herbal spa: An intoxicating infusion
By Ou Mom
F
ollowing yet another draining
week at work, a great many of the
capital’s inhabitants choose to blow
off steam by plunging themselves
headlong into the city’s nightlife. Yet in our
more reflective moments, everyone is fully
aware that two days of sambuca and sashay-
ing is far from the ideal antidote.
A more civilised, and healthy, remedy
would be to shake your body out of its co-
matose state in style by booking a date with
one of the city’s ever-growing list of spas. In a
city as hectic, and often draining, as Phnom
Penh, finding a sanctum which offers both
relaxation and tranquillity can do wonders
for mind, body and soul.
A relative new kid on the block, Sayana
Rumdul opened its doors just two months
ago and is currently pampering around
ten customers per day. Its founder, Soum
Sambath, 38, is not shy when discussing his
ambitions.
“Our aim is to compete with the many
other professional and experienced spas
found in Phnom Penh,” he stated.
By using an abundance of native Cam-
bodian flowers and medicinal plants in its
treatments, Sayana Rumdul is, quite liter-
ally, very proud of its roots. An intoxicating
aroma flirts with your nostrils the second
you enter the heavy, wooden doors, enticing
you towards the centre’s impressive range
of facilities, which includes a sauna, steam
room, and jacuzzi.
Decked out in a colourful Cambodian
sarong, whiling away an hour in a steam
room which emanates a heady mixture of
lemongrass, rumdul and other medicinal
herbs is certainly a most pleasant way to
spend an afternoon.
Meanwhile, the treatments on offer cover
all the bases, from scrubs, wraps and baths
to the spa’s most popular indulgence – the
traditional Cambodian massage, which costs
$8 for one hour. Although those with particu-
larly foggy auras and even fatter wallets might
opt for the Sayana Rumdul Dream Package,
which lasts for two hours and includes an
Aroma Massage, Herbal Scrub and Special
Bath for an eye-watering $60.
Other packages, which are a tad kinder on
the bank balance, are also available at $45
for two hours. The Romantic Delight Package
offers an Aroma Massage, Papaya and Ginger
Scrub and a Milk and Honey Bee Purify-
ing Bath, while the Stress Release Package
includes Aroma Massage, Calming Salt Scrub
and a Milk and Rose Bath.
Within the opulent confines of the bathing
area there is also the option of an invigo-
rating shower massage, courtesy of seven

shower heads which caress you from a vari-
ety of heights and angles to provide a perfect
final flourish.
The option to get your head down follow-
ing your experience may also prove too great
to resist, particularly with that luxurious
aroma engulfing your senses. In the end,
though, whether you want to hang around
and take in the ambience or pop in for a
quick, revitalising treat, Sayana Rumdul
delivers the perfect tonic.

Trendwatch: What
are women going
to do without pants
next spring?
F
irst, it was just another folly of Lady
Gaga’s: outrageous outfits with tops
and headpieces so over the top that
they made the bottom half of the look
unnecessary. But now, designers seem to think
that pantless will be a good look for every
woman next spring.
John Galliano had pioneered the look on
the runway of his couture show for Christian
Dior in Paris back in July -- yet that was cou-
AFP ture: not really meant to be worn to your local
supermarket.
But spring is all about ready-to-wear, and
chances are that the overwhelming num-
ber of top-only outfits will heavily influence
shopping for next spring. London’s ‘wild kids’
were as usual at the forefront of the trend:
John Rocha gave his models white-and-black
bodysuits to wear underneath his see-through
lace creations, while Jeremy Scott ditched the
‘dressed’ look altogether with animal-print
bathing suits constituting entire outfits.
And even the most established designers
showing during this fashion week season, such
as Tommy Hilfiger in New York or Miuccia
Prada in Milan, are going for the bathing suit
or pantyhose as spring wardrobe essentials, of-
ten worn with a ‘dress-up’ jacket or light coat.
For more wearable versions of the leggy
trend, it is worth looking to celebrities’ outfits:
stars such as Vanessa Hudgens and the Olsen
twins have already been spotted wearing over-
sized shirts or tunics without shorts or skirts:
not as radical but still daring.
The trend does not only apply to women’s
wear, by the way: designers such as Duckie
Brown in New York sent their male models
down the runway in nothing but what the New
York Times called “diaper pants” and cardi-
gans.
The paper also asked fashion barometer
Anna Wintour, editor of US Vogue, what she
thought of the trend, and she just replied: “I
will never answer that question.” Relaxnews

Trends: shoulders
Shoulders are back. And they are big. It’s official.
We begin our guide to the Autumn with a look at this
season’s biggest trend. Literally.
The trend has been brought back from the 80’s
and forward twenty years. There is a revived chic-
ness on all levels from the high designer to the high
street. There is a shape to suit and flatter every
frame; the only decision now is how horizontal
do you go?
Trends: prints
Prints are a staple of every season and every
wardrobe alike, yet this season is different.
This winter we see the gloomy days and dark
winter staples lit up by an explosion of print.
Clashing colours, kaleidoscope prints
and wonderful new techniques in digital
printing give this trend a full make over
into the future.
In London we saw Christopher Kane
employing digital print Gorillas onto silk
jerseys and graphical explosions were
covering suits and leggings at Alexander
McQueen. Meanwhile traditional screen
printing gave us fluoro animals at Giles
and the beautiful and electric Eley
Kishimoto are as prevalent as ever
on the fashion week schedule and
our runway creating bold, striking
prints each season, on everything
from dresses and tights, to Globe-
trotter trunks and smart cars.

Wine Talk
Darren Gall
M
any colleagues today bemoan
that we are losing our true
winemaking artisans to a
kind of oenological ‘industrial
revolution’, where wines are made in labs, by
recipe, to satisfy ‘target consumers’, ‘market
profiles’ and ‘Wine Critics’ (or gate-keepers
as they are referred to by trade insiders). The
result being that all we may end up with is a
universal mouth-wash so bland and boring
as to inspire epitaphs instead of poetry.
The past 15 years have seen a global
transformation in the international wine
market: walk into just about any wine shop – in
virtually any country – and you will get a sense
of the true globalisation of the industry; racks
and stacks of wines from the four corners of the
planet are each given conspicuous floor-space.
New World producers have been the main
beneficiaries of this wine label globe-trotting;
forging reputations built largely around value-
for-money, consistency, varietal labeling and
lower-end prices.
The commercial impact of this global
phenomenon has seen the rise and rise of the
large wine company, huge wine empires with
massive and far-reaching global operations
and wineries that are known within the
industry as wine refineries or tank farms.
Today over 80 percent of all of Australia’s
wine is produced by just four wine
companies, 70 percent of all of California’s
wine is produced by just five wineries,
consultant Michel Rolland is the winemaker
at over 200 wineries. Mechanical technology
in the vineyards means that harvest costs are
kept low and competitive, new technology
in the wineries means that winemakers can
manipulate wines like never before.
Consistency and low prices certainly
have their place however; is this all a bit of
a dumbing-down of the wine industry? Are
we, (the consumer) victors or victims in this
globalised market? Are we sacrificing some of
the vinous equivalent to virtuoso jazz-improv
for more easy-listening, instead of discovering
world-music are we being force-fed an
increasing diet of elevator music?
An artisan (from Italian: artigiano) is a
skilled manual worker who hand crafts
products. The term can also be used as an
adjective to refer to the craft of hand making
food products such as bread, wine and
cheese. Manufacture by hand and with hand
tools imparts unique and individual qualities

to artisanal products, in contrast to mass
produced goods where every one of them is
nearly identical –wikipedia.org.
The French call it terroir, an expression in a
product that is unique because it consists of
aspects and characteristics of its place, its soil,
its climate, it producer. No two products can
be alike because each is an expression of its
own terroir.
The New World tends to call it Artisanal
winemaking, wines from smaller producers
that take a hands-on approach to grape-
growing and winemaking. Winemakers who
are trying to craft individual wines that have
their own personalities and charm, wines that
are as much about where they come from
and how they were made as they are about
who made them.
Curtis Marsh and I first collaborated in
Melbourne, Australia as young upstarts in
the wine industry over 20 years ago; together
we would spend many hours waxing lyrical
and philosophising about the great wines of
the world, many as we were seeing them for
the first time in our lives. Today, Curtis lives
in Singapore and for me no trip to the city
state is ever complete without us breaking
bread and sharing wine. Curtis enunciates
his passion for such wines superbly on the
‘Must-Have’ page of his inspirational website
‘thewanderingpalate.com’:
“The Must-Have wines objective is to
Give me the vinous
equivalent of a Van
Gogh, Monet or
Matisse
impassion consumers and stimulate a thirst
for real wine. Unashamedly you will not find
pedestrian, commercially orientated wines
or wineries of industrial size. The emphasis is
on genuine artisan vignerons making wines
that are highly expressive of their terroir and
have a tangible ‘sense of place’ encompassing
the unique qualities of their region and
micro-climate. Invariably these people will
be dedicated to environmentally sustainable
viticulture with an emphasis on organic and
biodynamic principals and a no-compromise
approach to all facets of winemaking.”
My own philosophy on wine appreciation
is similar to philosophy on art: I can spend
exciting minutes staring at great photography,
it has its place but I can get lost for hours in a
single painting by the great impressionists. Give
me the vinous equivalent of a Van Gogh, Monet
or Matisse over a Canon, Olympus or Nikon.

here are plenty of pharmacies in
Phnom Penh that provide remedies
for sexual inadequacy, but at
Malaysia Restaurant, the answer
comes in a cup of coffee. Lerb Mariyam, the
owner of the restaurant, touts her special
brews Per’l Café and Ali Café as providing a
boost of sexual energy to give you more bang
for your buck, literally.
“I bought it from a company in Malaysia
where I spent three years to learn Malaysian
recipes,” said Mariyam, a Cambodian
Muslim who lived with her husband in his
native Malaysia for 10 years, prior to opening
Malaysia Restaurant in Phnom Penh eight
years ago. Coffee drinkers and virility seekers
can pick up a cup for just 2000 riel (US$.50),
and there’s more help to be had if that’s not
enough.
Mariyam’s husband, 60-year-old Ahmad
Noor, says he practices a special Malaysian
massage for men who need a boost in bed,
but he wouldn’t tell his secret or his price.
Malaysia Restaurant also has a full menu
of Malaysian dishes if you desire to liven up
your diet as well. “It tastes much more sour
than Khmer food,” said 26-year-old customer
Srey Monica, while eating the Malaysian curry.
“It’s not salty and not sweet but it contains a
good flavour that is difficult to pinpoint, and it
provides me with more energy.”
While the restaurant offers Khmer and Thai
menus as well, Mariyam admits that these
aren’t the restaurant’s best dishes.
“The special food here is Malaysian food

“The food is simple but the coffee tastes
great and gives me a real energy boost,” she

Because of the niche appeal of the
restaurant, Mariyam saw a severe drop in
patronage last month, as many Muslims
fasted from dawn to dusk during the 28-day
celebration of Ramadan.
Even with Ramadan over, business at the
Malaysia Restaurant is still suffering due
to the world financial crisis, according to
Mariyam. She says the restaurant used to
make $300 a day but in recent months has
been bringing in just over $100 daily.
The restaurant, located on Street 130 next to
Indochine, is open from 6am-9pm every day for
coffee, food and, if you’re lucky, a bit more.

WATER WOES RETURN
Over the weekend, downtown Siem Reap resi-
dents and businesses received a nasty reminder
of the bad times earlier this year when water
supply was almost permanently curtailed for
close on three months.
Late on Friday afternoon the water supply was
again cut off without warning in a large swathe
of Siem Reap’s central business district, includ-
ing the Pub Street.
The water supply was not reconnected until
7.30pm on Sunday.
A spokesman for the Office of Water told
Scene the culprit this time was “the China
company.”
Apparently an unnamed Chinese company
undertaking messy road works along Sivutha
Boulevard accidentally cut the water pipe and
thereby cut off the water supply along the
length of Sivutha and in the Pub Street and old
market areas.
Many of the affected restaurants had to cart
in water supplies, but a waiter at the chic Aha
restaurant simply shrugged and said it was no
big deal, “We’re used to it,” he said.
Dean Williams, the owner of Miss Wong bar,
was certainly an unhappy chappie. He told
Scene, “When the water is off continuously, we
have to bring in 200-300 litres per day.
“We manage, but it’s just a real inconve-
nience, and it’s not a good look for tourists when
there’s no water and they have to flush the toilet
with water from a bucket. You know, that’s ok
at a bus stop in Poipet, but I’m trying to run a
cocktail bar here.”
TRADE FAIR PLANNED
The Siem Reap Chamber of Commerce will hold
a ‘Buy Cambodian Products’ trade fair during
the water festival starting at the end of this
month.
The trade fair, to run from October 31 to
November 2, aims to improve and disseminate
trade information for producers and traders, and
to create a “trade and investment environment.”
A further aim is to promote and support the
usage of Khmer products.
At this stage, organisers say that at least 70
booths will display local precuts at the fair.
Details about the venue for the trade fair will
be announced shortly.

PHOTO EXHIBITION AT RAFFLES
Siem Reap-based photographer and 4Faces café
owner Eric de Vries has embarked on a profile-
raising exercise.
On September 22 his exhibition of recent
Preah Vihear photos launched at the Chinese
House in Phnom Penh. This work was the result
of a speedy trip from Siem Reap to Preah Vihear
on a small Honda moto on August 13-15.
Tonight, he launches his Retrospective Cam-
bodia 2009 exhibition at Raffles Grand Hotel
D’Angkor Siem Reap. This features a collec-
tion of the best photos he has taken over the
last nine years while living in Cambodia, from
landscape to portrait and from Angkor Wat to
the standoff at Preah Vihear.
The photos in the exhibition form part of Eric’s
next book, which will be published early next
year and feature series and singe photos.
Meanwhile, advance copies of photographer
John McDermott’s long-awaited book, Elegy:
Reflections on Angkor, have arrived from the
printer in Italy.
The official launch is slated for either Novem-
ber or December.
NEW CRAFT WORKSHOP
Senteurs d’Angkor opened its new $80,000
workshop to the public last weekend.
Managing director Stephane Bourcier said
around one hundred guests, including many
tourist agents attended the opening of the new

workshop on National Road 6, which will employ
about 80 people.
“The guests loved the garden and most of the
agencies said they will try to send customers to
us. It’s my business, my baby, I want to commit
to running it well and if I can give work to more
people, that is nice.”
Senteurs d’Angkor has another outlet in town
near the old market but that is now too small.
Bourcier’s business has produced and sold
items such as incense, candles, soaps, oils and
spices for ten years, and he hopes the new
workshop setup will reinforce the local heritage
of his product range.
“Most people who come here want to buy
Cambodian products, but they don’t know most
of the stuff in the markets is not made here,”
Bourcier said.
“Our main objective is to produce local prod-
ucts from local materials, by mostly Cambodian
people. If we can show people how the products
are made, that the workers are comfortable, that
it is hygienic, they can then choose whether or
not to buy from us.”
HALF-PIPE-DREAM
Siem Reap’s infamous on-again, off-again skate-
boarding half-pipe ramp is off-again, undergo-
ing a makeover due to monsoon season effects
that were not factored into the original model.
The rooftop ramp at X Bar first made a much-
publicised appearance earlier in the year, but
has been out of use since the start of the rainy
season. X Bar co-owner Carlo Tarabini says it
was all going great until a few months ago,
when rain “became an issue.”
The materials used to build the ramp lost out
in a battle against the rain, with wood warping
causing distress. Tarabini, an Aussie, says the
new plan is to resurface the ramp with more
moisture-resistant materials.
Budding boarders should be able to ramp up
again some time soon.
“It’s all taking shape and is probably going to
soak up the next month or so, but it’s going to
come through,” Tarabini said.

The SOUTH GATE
The South Gate of Angkor Thom is one of
five gates to the ancient city, and it is also the
busiest. Even in the rainy season, there are
always cars and buses queuing to enter the
narrow gateway. Tourists usually walk over
the causeway, admiring the gateway and
reproductions of the heads of the gods and
demons along the balustrade.
It is slightly amusing to see hordes of
tourists crammed together, when only a few
metres away they would be virtually alone.
To avoid seeing the South Gate clogged with
traffic and tourists, walk to the left down to

The blind leading the blind: A sightless

elephant and her newest mahout
Though it’s not as visually arresting as the
enormous surrounding temples, it’s always
the Terrace of the Elephants that captures
my imagination when I wander through
Angkor Thom.
One can easily envision Jayavarman
VII perched there, high atop a platform,
watching his victorious army roll back into
town, an enormous force that included
some of the same powerful war elephants
that are carved into the stone base of the
terrace. Nowadays, the number of elephants
in Cambodia is pitifully small, estimated at
just over 200 in captivity and even fewer in
the wild.
But it wouldn’t be until I made a trip to
northern Laos that I would get a tiny taste of
what it must have been like to be a mahout,
or elephant driver, in the ancient Khmer
empire.
Though there are greater numbers of
elephants in Laos than in Cambodia, many
of them are consigned to years of hard labor
in logging camps because of their brute
strength. That’s why some organisations, like
the Elephant Village outside Luang Prabang,
The Learning Curve

adopt abused elephants and give them the
much easier work of trotting around with
tourists on their backs.
Though I knew all this in advance, it
still came as a shock for someone hailing
from an elephant-less continent to pull into
the village and see seven Asian elephants
grazing calmly as they waited for us to climb
aboard.
My ride for the day was Mae Boun Nam,
a one-ton cutie with expressive flapping
ears who was rescued after 40 years of
work in the logging industry. It wasn’t until
I had mounted Mae Boun Nam, along
with her regular mahout Mr. Sao, that I
realized that she was blind in both eyes. I’ll
admit that riding a blind elephant down a
tremendously steep mountain path felt a
wee bit precarious, but Mr. Sao guided her
by bobbing his feet and saying commands,
and Mae Boun Nam confidently felt her way
along, checking for stumps and branches
with her sensitive trunk. And then it was
time for me to slide into the driver’s seat,
straddling Mae Boun Nam’s neck.
To ride Mae Boun Nam was to have very
mixed impressions. One was to be in awe
of her immense power; feeling her muscles
move under me was a little like riding a large
horse until I remembered that I was on her
neck, the narrowest part of her.
The other impulse was to give her the
same respect that I would an old lady. She
was 60 years old, after all, and she had loose
spotted earlobes that reminded me of my
grandmother’s. I think she would look quite
fetching in the rhinestone earrings and
pillbox hats that my elderly neighbors used
to wear to church in the 1980’s.
Back at the village, I fed Mae Boun Nam
some bananas that comprised part of her
200 kilogram daily diet, and watched some
of the other visiting barang try to master
some basic mahout commands. The seven
elephants are trained to follow basic Lao
words like “Sai!” for left and “Khwa!” for
right. Even so, they’re accustomed to the
voices of their usual mahouts, who feed and
care for them, and getting them to listen to
anyone else can be tricky.
“Pie!” (or “Go forward!”) one determined
Englishman shouted with less and less
confidence, as his elephant lazily took her
time scratching her rear against a tree trunk.
I couldn’t help but feel superior to him
since Mae Boun Nam and I seemed to have
developed a rapport. As she lovingly smeared
mud and elephant saliva on me with her
trunk, I entertained fantasies of secreting
her back to Siem Reap and keeping her in
my front yard. My days of riding tuk-tuks
and motos would be over; together, we could
stroll around town like real Angkorians.
Just let an SUV try to get in our way!
Eventually, I decided that Mae Boun Nam
had a pretty nice retirement plan right where
she was and we said our goodbyes. But now
when I see the Terrace of the Elephants, I
won’t imagine Jayavarman VII. Instead, I’ll
fondly remember Mae Boun Nam and my
fleeting career as a mahout.

sing an ingenious combination of crafts and
environmentalism, the pupils of Ican British
International School have created a new, eco-
friendly alternative to troublesome plastic and
styrofoam packaging. “Staff from K’nay restaurant came
to meet the children in August and gave them a design
specification for a new delivery bag for their restaurant,”
explained ICan Vice Principal David Hunt. This chimed
perfectly with the school’s “Keen on Green” art theme,
and the children got to work on a competition to create a
delivery bag made from recycled material.
“We’re educating the children not just academically, but
also about being citizens of the future,” said ICan Principal
Lori Hastings. “We try to educate them so, when they’re
older, they’ll think twice about throwing a plastic bag out of
a car window.”
The prototype which won used Khmer-language
newspapers for the exterior, while the inside was made from
plastic lining salvaged from the wrappings of printer paper.
“Since it’s a Khmer restaurant, they wanted to preserve
that Khmer image – and they also realised the printer
paper wrappers have a sort of water-resistant finish,” Hunt
explained with obvious pride.
The result is a bag which is sturdy and disposable, but
with a look novel enough to encourage consumers to
hang onto the bags after they’ve eaten their food. “A lot
of customers say they will reuse the bags to put gifts in,”
offered Hunt as an example.
The Vice Principal feels the children’s design is preferable
to the styrofoam packaging used by most restaurants to
deliver their food. “You become conscious of just how
environmentally unfriendly that sort of packaging is,” said
Hunt, claiming wasteful packaging alone was enough to put
him off his meal. “I can’t enjoy the food, even if it’s the most
delicious food in the world.” “By using recycled packaging, you say more than just

Ethical shopping tips
There are currently more than 1,000 non-governmental
organisations in Cambodia, each performing admirable
work to help the less fortunate citizens of this beguiling
country. Allied with a great many schemes run by local
communities and associations, there are myriad options
available for the responsible shopper in areas such as
dining, shopping and tours.
By giving your patronage to businesses which promote
learning transferable skills and hard work to earn
a living, you are undoubtedly helping to push the
workforce of Cambodia in the right direction. Not only
do these NGOs help instil a newfound sense of pride in
previously at-risk individuals, such organisations also
encourage others to seek independence from charity.

LEAVING A LIFE OF GRIME
Volunteers help the infamous Stung Meanchey ‘dump kids’ towards a brighter future
ARIELLE BURNEY
T
he yard surrounding the
Indochina Starfish Foundation
(ISF) in Stung Meanchey is nearly
deserted on a sunny Saturday
afternoon, save for one small girl engaged
in a heated game of football against the
wall. When Tup first arrived at ISF last July,
bug bites covered her body, her belly was
distended from starvation and her hair was
cropped so short that until the requisite
doctor’s visit, everyone assumed she was
a boy.
When her classmates got hold of her
that first day, the girls cleaned her up, did
her hair, and put the tomboy in a dress.
“When we took her back to her family
that evening,” Kate Griffin, ISF Country
Manager enthuses, “it was like watching
the makeover reveal on Jerry Springer,” she
says, mimicking the hoots, shock and jaw
drops the family gave upon their daughter’s
return to their plastic tarp-covered hovel.
Despite the superficial improvement,
Tup, along with many of her
classmates, has suffered from years of
malnourishment, which often leads to
physical and mental delays. Although she
is 13 years old, she looks no more than 8.
But according to the growth charts kept in
the nurse’s office, the two meals a day the
children receive are making a significant
difference.
ISF has two education facilities catering
to more than 160 students in Stung
Meanchey and Boeng Salang, where they
follow Khmer and English curricula.
Its education program is intended to
get these kids, “the poorest of the poor”, to
catch up with their peers in public school
and eventually matriculate there, which
Kate Griffin, ISF Country Manager with local children.
entails teaching two grade levels worth of

material in one year. The children must
complete sixth grade in public school,
or they won’t receive the government
certificate in basic literacy that will help
them land jobs.
The effort, though, pays off.
“Upon enrolling in public schools their
confidence shoots up – they go from the
bottom rung of society to being equal to
everyone else,” Griffin says.
Each child at ISF has a hygiene kit
of scabies-treating soap (for morning
showers), a toothbrush and toothpaste,
and a clean school uniform, all of which
are kept at the school in order to ensure
healthy habits and proper usage.
“I would rather all of their teeth fall out
of their heads, than have them sharing
toothbrushes with family members who
could pass along diseases like Hepatitis,”
Griffin says.
As these are the children of rubbish
collectors, their presence in school means
they are unable to help their parents with
work. To supplement the lost income, ISF
rewards the families with food rations if
their children have missed fewer than four
days of school in a month. As truancy is
the greatest challenge, this system helps to
guarantee attendance.
The Stung Meanchey dumpsite closed
in July this year, but most families living
around the dump have remained in place.
According to community development
research ISF conducted, most of the
families do their trash scavenging
throughout the city, because once the
garbage arrives at the dump it has
already been combed through for
recyclable materials. Therefore, the
community has not yet felt the impact
of the dump’s closure.
But the real consequence of living near
the dump is the health risk.
“The dump is the children’s
playground,” Griffin remarks, as she
gazes out at the trash heaps containing
hypodermic needles, medical waste,
raw sewage and smouldering pockets of
everyday filth. She tells of the vaccination
programs being put in place to compensate
for that risk: tetanus shots and eventually
vaccines for hepatitis A and B, polio and
typhoid.
“Many of the children begin school
covered with scabies, their homes have
no running water, they frequently have
diarrhoea, they’re malnourished, and have
no basic hygiene,” Griffin says, adding that
a dentist described the children’s teeth as
the worst in Cambodia. ISF gives the kids
daily fluoride tablets to compensate for the
lack of fluoride in the water.
The children at ISF also receive free
medical treatment: there is a registered
nurse employed full-time and they receive
dental and optometric care, as well as drug
prevention education for those 13 years
of age and older, and other public health
courses.
“School is fun here,” Loy Vey, 14, says
outside his drug prevention education
class. “I play football and study with
friends.”
Mom Sreyroth, 13, who is also attending
the Saturday health class, declares, “My
dream is to be a nurse.”
Before enrolling at ISF, these two
students, and many of their peers, had
never been to school.
Health, however, extends beyond
medicines, vaccines and even preventative
education. As UNICEF proclaims on its
website: “Sport and play are important…
because they are vital to the health,
happiness and well-being of children and

young people.”
Recognising this, ISF also runs a football
programme involving hundreds of children
from NGOs across the country. There
are currently 23 NGO-sponsored football
teams. Each of them receive kits and all of
the necessary equipment, and 65 part-time
coaches are employed in the effort.
In 2006, when ISF was founded, the
football programme only targeted boys.
Today, there are female teams as well, and
of the 22 players on the Girls National
Football team, 18 are from the ISF
program. The idea of girls playing football
was not received warmly, Griffin recalls, as
it did not comply with cultural norms, but
as the organisation acquires more female
coaches, the game is gaining popularity
with young women.
“It’s a great way for the girls to express
themselves and get aggression out,” she
explains, as the more traditional female
activities don’t provide the same level of
intensity or competition.
Griffin, who has been with ISF since
April 2008 and has seen their enrolment
double, emphasises the single aspect she
cares most about is that the children are
having fun.
“They’re being kids. They’re getting the
chance to have a childhood. Too many of
them miss out on that.”
A number of older boys are on the path
to receiving their certificate for completing
primary school and will then be eligible to
go for training to become football coaches.
“I would love for kids who came through
the program to come back and be part of it
[as coaches or staff ],” she says.
“It would complete the cycle.”

Questions & answers

Do you give money to beggars in Cambodia?
Do you think it is right to charge foreigners more for some things?
Are NGOs making a difference in Cambodia?

Kranh Theary, 21, Buddhist monk at Saravoarn Pagoda

“I think everybody has a different fate so I do give money to beggars. We should
imagine if we were in the same situation; what would we do? But sometimes
I don’t give anything to beggars who are impolite and don’t look poor. I don’t
think giving less money to the poor would dissuade beggars from doing what
they do. In dharma, charging rich people more money is a sin so I don’t agree
with it.”

Victoria Cardone, 38, English teacher

“I don’t give money to beggars, especially the children, because I don’t want to encour-
age the parents to continue sending their children onto the streets to beg. I give food
and water to homeless people instead. I do think people charge me more than locals
and I understand why, but I don’t think it’s a good practice for tourism. I think the gov-
ernment should pass an anti-corruption law, so NGOs will be more willing to continue
funding Cambodia.”

Kyle James, 43, freelancer of Deutsche Welle

“I came here for three days but was told by somebody I shouldn’t give money to
beggars and the best way to support people is to give it through an NGO, which
seek to break the cycle of begging. I’m not sure if this is true or not. I’ve seen
many NGOs in Cambodia are quite active so I hope they’re making a difference.
I am fine with spending more than locals on certain things in Cambodia, as I’ve
already experienced it to a far greater degree in India.”

Sok Sophorn, 16, high school student

“When I see beggars I feel sorry for them, so I do give them money, but not to
drunk beggars. I don’t think foreigners should pay more than locals because they
might feel it is unfair. NGOs can help the poor, for example the Friends Organi-
sation, who help street children to get away from drugs and so on. I’ve joined
a scheme to clean and make sure rubbish goes into bins at my school and my
sister volunteers to guide drivers near traffic lights.”

Kol Chan Makara, 25, librarian at DMC

“In some ways, I think giving money to beggars can encourage them to do it
permanently, as they see it makes them money. I think NGOs can help Cambodia
out in terms of human rights, women’s rights and so on. The main problems in
Cambodia right now are robbers and drug addicts. In order to reduce this prob-
lem, I think the government should enforce the law more strictly. As for helping
out, I’ve contributed to help educate the poor on HIV/AIDS.”

Week of OCTOBER 2

ARIES (March 21- April 19)

Is the electron a wave or a particle? Physicists had to conduct thousands of experiments to arrive at the definitive
answer, which is that it’s both. In other words, the solution to one of the fundamental questions about the nature
of reality is a paradox. I think this strongly suggests that the correct response to many other riddles about the
ultimate truth might be two seemingly opposing explanations. Could the Unitarians and Buddhists both be right?
Socialists and capitalists? Mystics and scientists? In the upcoming days, Aries, you will be offered lots of practice
in adopting this approach as you deal with a personal dilemma that’s very much akin to “Is the electron a wave
or a particle?”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Have you ever mused on the fact that your body is actually a kind of furnace? And that your whole life
depends upon it? Food and oxygen are constantly combusting inside you, generating fiery energy that
fuels your every movement, thought, and feeling. This awareness of fire as a source of vitality, not a
destroyer, would be valuable for you to cultivate in the coming days. Your steady, earthy rhythm needs a
shot of radiance and luminosity and fervor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Several couples I know keep lists of the five celebrities they’d be allowed to boink if the chance ever
presented itself. My friend Jim, for instance, will incur no karmic repercussions with his girlfriend Alicia
if he ever spends a night of carnal delight with the following people: Lady Gaga, Sarah Silverman, Karen
O, Shakira, or Halle Berry. Alicia’s permitted to enjoy liaisons with Johnny Depp, Chris Rock, Marilyn
Manson, Jimmy Fallon, and Portia de Rossi. I bring this up, Gemini, because I believe you’ll soon be the
beneficiary of some extravagant cosmic luck that could offer you a close brush with an exotic form of
pleasure. This might not exactly take the form of a one-night stand with a famous fox, but it could be
almost as extraordinary.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

While reviewing the work of Angelina Jolie in the film Taking Lives, A. O. Scott called her “the flesh-and-
blood actress most likely to be mistaken for a computer-generated special effect.” I don’t expect you to
rival Jolie’s odd talent anytime soon, but I wonder if maybe you’ll be seeing a lot of that kind of stuff in the
world around you. Some of the characters who will be advancing the plotlines in your life story may seem
to be able to breathe fire, walk through walls, or change the weather at will. At the very least, you’ll witness
phenomena that resemble optical illusions. My advice: Try to get these exotic outbreaks to work for you
rather than against you. Embrace them, don’t fear them.

October 2 - 8, 2009 7DAYS THE PHNOM PENH POST
‘Melrose Place’
gets a second life
Denise Martin
HOLLYWOOD
T
he most disarm-
ing thing about
Laura Leighton and
Thomas Calabro
– Melrose Place’s diabolical
Sydney Andrews and Michael
Mancini – is that they appear
not to have aged since Aaron
Spelling’s campy hit wrapped
in 1999.
Calabro dismissed the idea
with a laugh.
Leighton said, “You’re not
the first person to say that,
but it’s not true.”
Oh, but it is, as evidenced
in the September 22 epi-
sode, which flashed back to
Sydney’s first death 12 years
ago, a fatal car accident she
somehow survived. Turns
out Michael – seen in all his
90s-era poofy-haired glory
– had lingering affection for
his red-headed nemesis-
turned-lover-turned-nemesis
and helped her fake her own
death. Executive producer
Darren Swimmer said travel-
ing back in time didn’t take
long.
“We just had to adjust
Thomas’ hair, and Laura
looks the same.”
Resuming their scandalous
alter egos for the CW’s series
reboot – and the attention
that has come with it – took
getting used to. “When we
shot our first scene in the
hospital, I thought, ‘OK, this
is weird.’ Fun, but weird,”
Leighton said during dinner
with Calabro in Los Angeles.
“It really was,” Calabro
said. “I just remember think-
ing, “Thank God you’re here
with me.’ “
Both actors have worked
consistently, albeit out of
the limelight, in the decade
since Melrose went off the
air – Leighton in TV movies
and short-lived shows, Cala-
bro on stage and in guest-
starring roles – but are now
find themselves in the media
spotlight.
“Melrose” is the CW’s
highest-priority launch this
fall, and while viewership has
been tepid, the recent signing
of Heather Locklear, who will
reprise her role as Amanda
Woodward in November,
stands to goose ratings.
The producers of the new
Melrose have zapped the
camp in favour of a darker,
slicker soap opera format. In
2009, Michael is a celebrity
in the medical world but is
at odds with his son David,
who has inherited his pop’s
lying, cheating ways. Sydney,
meanwhile, is resurrected
and killed – again, and for
good – by the end of episode
one, her lifeless body found
floating facedown in a pool.
Leighton appears only in the
memories of other charac-
ters, all of whom are murder
suspects.
“They had me at ‘face-
down’,” she said. “It never
occurred to me that I’d be
involved at all. I was dead.”
Executive producer Todd
Slavkin said from his point
of view Sydney and Michael
were the show’s long-thwart-
ed star-crossed lovers.
“We needed their romantic
longing,” Slavkin said. “Dar-
ren and I always thought of
those two as meant for each
other but so devious they
could never be together.”
Off screen, Leighton, 41,
and Calabro, 50, are now
busy parents with seven kids
between them. (Leighton is
married to Desperate House-
wives’ Doug Savant, who also
starred in the original Mel-
rose.) During dinner, the two
tried to negotiate a play date
for their respective sons.
Leighton, who received a
Golden Globe nomination in
1995 for playing Sydney, was
less enthusiastic about her
wacky story arcs, in which
she worked as a prostitute,
joined a cult, and was com-
mitted to a psych ward.
Leighton is not sure how
long her run will last. The
producers won’t say how – or
if – Sydney’s character will
work into the plot once her
murderer is unveiled, but
the actress seems to be OK
with going along for the ride,
however long it lasts.
“I have a family, and there
are other things in my life
now, but I think it’s good to
enjoy and appreciate this
while it’s happening,” Leigh-
ton said. Relaxnews

ON THE SOAPBOX
You know what’ll save newspapers?
H
ello reader. Where are you read-
ing this? In the paper? On the web-
site? On an iPhone? Is the Guard-
ian even available on the iPhone?
Bet it is. There’s probably even a little down-
loadable application that lets you turn the
pages by tilting it to one side. After all, there’s
an “app” for everything. There’s one that turns
the iPhone into a motion-sensitive light sabre:
it makes wooshy Star Wars noises as you swipe
it around. Really passes the time during the
unrelenting march to the grave, that.
I’m unmoved in the face of friends scream-
ing at me to join the iPhone cult. It’s horrible.
Here are a few iPhone apps I’d like to see:
1. An app that makes the iPhone scream
‘I’VE GOT AN iPHONE!’ each time the user
pulls it out of their pocket. Once activated, it
would be impossible to switch off. The only
way to stop the constant embarrassment
would be to repeatedly crack the device against
a wall, or preferably your own face, until it
shattered.
2. An app billed as a “comical toilet paper
simulator”. You switch it on, pretend to “wipe”
your backside, and hey presto: the screen ap-
pears smeared with virtual pixilated poo. But
– ho ho – just like the screaming iPhone app
above, it’s a permanent booby trap. Once you’ve
performed your first comical wipe, in a frankly
desperate bid to impress your non-iPhone-
owning friends, it’s impossible for the screen
to revert to its original state. Instead, you’re left
Perhaps women really are beyond self-help
According to Forbes.com, in 2008 Ameri-
cans spent $11 billion on “self-improvement
books, CDs, seminars, coaching and stress-
management programmes”.
To put it into perspective, Cambodia’s
entire GDP in 2008 was $11.2 billion. Now, I
admit I have a soft spot for self-help guides.
I’ve never actually bought one, but I’m drawn
to them for their ludicrous titles. Call me im-
mature, but I challenge you not to giggle at a
‘Guide to Loving Yourself’.
Of course, sex, love and relationships are
prime self-help guide targets. From the origi-
nal “Men Are From Mars…” to the recently
penned “He’s Just Not That Into You”, there
are countless volumes offering to reveal ‘how
to get the man you want’ or ‘how to avoid the
man you don’t want’, and so on.
But these self-help guides aren’t just for
women. In fact, what got me thinking about
the issue was discovering a female author has
written a book entitled “Women Really Do Love
Bastards: Learn the Number One Bastard Trait
The Friday Rant
Charlie Brooker
with no option but to go home and cry.
3. An app that makes your iPhone un-
expectedly oscillate and explode halfway
through a conversation to a loved one, sending
thousands of miniscule shards of plastic and
silicon hurtling into your ear canal like a swarm
of angry pins. As a bonus, the detonation also
blasts your hand apart like a spent casing.
Why? Because you bought an iPhone, silly.
Still, there’s a good chance you’re reading
this on an LCD display of some description,
rather than on paper. There are advantages
and drawbacks to both platforms. The paper
version can be rolled up, scribbled on, and read
on the tube. If I write something obnoxious
– something about the hilarious inherent low-
self-esteem of iPhone owners, perhaps – the
page can be torn out, screwed into a ball and
thrown across the room, thus providing a slen-
der amount of catharsis. (Come to think of it,
iPhone owners can probably download an app
that makes a satisfying “thwock” sound as they
bat the paper ball across the room with their
ridiculous handheld toys). Paper is tactile, and
that’s a plus. Trouble is, you have to pay for it.
Not so online. In Webland, it’s yours for
free. Better still, the byline pictures are slightly

that Mesmerises Women”. That’s right; a female
author has genuinely written a book encourag-
ing men to be bastards.

kick a bastard to
the kerb faster
than a drunken
tuk tuk driver
Once I got over the feeling of betrayal, I
realised she has a point: for some inexplicable
reason, we women are drawn to men that are
fundamentally bad for us – myself included.
THE PHNOM PENH POST 7DAYS October 2 - 8, 2009
smaller, so there’s less chance you’ll be sick. But
it isn’t tactile. Here, catharsis comes in the form
of interactive feedback – so if (for example)
you’re a uniquely inadequate, unfulfilled and
unattractive sort of man, and the article you’re
reading happens to have been written by a
woman – any woman – you can vent your an-
noyance in a series of inadvertently revealing
messages, then masturbate into a sock. (This
describes 33 percent of all messages on all
news websites. Check if you don’t believe me.)
Still, at least the misogynists know what’s
making them angry. There’s an astounding
level of unfocused rage on the internet, which
is weird considering it’s full of people getting
something for nothing. Films, TV shows, music,
newspaper reports…none of it costing a penny.
But newspapers won’t be free for ever. At
least that’s what Rupert Murdoch thinks, and
he’s probably evil enough to know. Last week
he announced the Sun and the Times are to
start charging for their online editions. But will
it work?
Nope. Not until someone perfects a system
of universal online micro-payments once and
for all. Some simple means of easily “tossing
a penny in a cup” for the internet is required.
Everyone knows it; no one’s managed to crack
it. Sure, there are systems such as PayPal (fa-
miliar to anyone who’s used eBay), but they’re
fiddly and boring. What’s needed is something
universal and user-friendly.
But more than that, it should be fun.
So what’s the attraction? Why do otherwise
confident, intelligent and sexy women go for
men that cause them heartache?
Why would you lust after someone who
made up a lame excuse to dump you because
they wanted to try it on with your best
friend? Why would you waste a single tear
over someone who sends you a text thanking
you for “an amazing time last night”, when
you haven’t seen the git in a week? Not me, of
course. Honest.
Well, unfortunately, absolute bastards can
also be utterly charming, mysterious, good
looking, unpredictable, and a whole host of
other positive adjectives that render them
horribly irresistible.
Ok, let me give the fairer sex some credit. I
know most of us wouldn’t consciously choose
someone who is going to hurt us, and most
women will kick a bastard to the kerb faster
than a drunken tuk tuk driver.
But some women actively enjoy the drama
of a volatile relationship.
That’s right. It should be intrinsically fun to
spend money. How? Huh? Wuh? Listen. If you
ask me, one potential answer to the newspaper
industry’s woes lies somewhere in videogame
design. A simple payment system shouldn’t just
be easy to set up: it should be intrinsically satis-
fying to use. It should feel positively Nintendo.
Look at the Wii. Look at the micro-games
in Rhythm Paradise, or Grand Theft Auto:
Chinatown Wars, both on the Nintendo DS.
That’s how online payments should work. They
should have the illusion of being tactile.
On your desktop: a cartoon purse filled with
fat gold coins. Pull out a penny. It shimmers on
the screen. Drag it toward a “coin slot” situated
right there on the web page you want to view,
and drop it in. It disappears with a satisfy-
ing ker-chunk. And you’re in. If you’re feeling
cavalier, you can throw your coin toward the
slot; with practice it won’t bounce off the rim.
And hey, iPhone users: we’ll even let you play.
You can “fling” coins from your phone directly
on to the screen.
One page costs one penny: not too off-
putting for anyone – and crucially, the teeny
spoonful of fun and satisfaction you derived
from playing with that virtual coin each time is
worth the penny anyway.
Has anyone else thought of this already? If
not, consider it patented right now, by me. I’ll
settle for 0.001 percent of every penny spent for
all eternity, thanks. And now, over to the Drag-
ons. THE GUARDIAN
One friend who gave her bastard more
tries than an international rugby squad
insisted that he “kept her on her toes”. She’s
a highly successful, powerful lady and I
couldn’t understand why she stood by such
an overbearing, patronising cad. She pre-
ferred the euphemism “bad boy”, and tried
to explain that she actually liked the way he
took control of situations and made her feel
vulnerable and feminine. Thankfully, she
finally had enough when she caught him
“taking control” of his secretary. Classy.
Of course, it’s tempting to grab a copy of
“Why Men Love Bitches” and give as good as
you get. But why encourage the game playing?
Accept it: you can’t mould a partner into who
you want them to be. Either acknowledge
their imperfections and put up with them
treating you like crap, or walk away and save
yourself a fortune in tissues and super-sized
consolatory chocolate bars.
You know what? That’s pretty good advice.
Excuse me, I feel a self-help guide coming on.

on stage at
Pontoon
THURSDAY’S scandalously named “Gloryhole” gay nights
at Pontoon are always a colourful affair. But last week’s
performance by star queens Gege, Say Say and Jo Jo was
some drag with a difference.
Singaporean choreographer Nicholas Lim, a back up
dancer for American pop star Pink, worked with the girls Peng and Thara.
over the past few weeks on their routines.
Gege.
Influenced by pop artists such as the Pussycat Dolls and Josh, Simon.
Britney Spears, Nicholas says he wants to get the girls to
“own” their presence on stage and be out there and sexy,
unlike the traditional Khmer performances.
The three performers emerge in a blaze of lights, music,
smoke, high heels, hair, and sequins for a first set performed
with the help of two male dancers, another first for the
night.
The girls followed this up with some raunchy individual
performances.
