June Remember? CNE Review#6

Whoosh! And just like that 50% of the year was gone.

The month was the beginning of the end/end of the beginning for Sihanoukville’s runaway construction boom after tragedy struck before dawn on the 22nd.

There was the usual mix of foreigners behaving badly, Chinese gangster business, and, this month, 2 fatal accidents involving Cambodia’s worst bus company, which left at least 11 dead, along with good news for Aussie pie enthusiasts and less good news for burrito fans over in the food corner.

Here’s a selection of prime cuts which were cut from the gristle of the 255 juicy steaks of June news:
