Alot of investment for Japan, Korea and China. Alot, it took a over a generation for things to sort out. As I said in the OP they targeted the educated in the genocide, so when the Khmer Rouge was driven out it was run poorly due to lack of education. |
Yes it was, I just came back home from the same region and reading, hearing and seeing about all the horror is something everyone should experience.
I do wonder though, are these investments made to help the country and its' people or is it just another way to make money off of poor and uneducated people?
Of course the circumstances are getting better, no doubt, but still only a few truly profit not to say corruption is a big thing in Cambodia and Vietnam.
Maybe being poor and eating free coconuts can be a wonderful life.
