...Kong has one paved road, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it dock and an inordinate number of Germans. The main activity for travelers in this border town is meeting other travelers. Most of the guesthouses and hostels in Koh Kong are run by Europeans and Australians (the proprietor and family usually live on-site) and are good for getting a drink, sitting in a hammock and chatting up your neighbor. They're also good for a cheap ($7 per night) room, if you can endure using a shared toilet. If not, I suggest you stay...

The pipeline, along with a plan for a new deepwater port in Arakan where ships laden with Middle Eastern oil can dock and disgorge their valuable cargo, gives China an alternative to the expensive and sometimes dangerous Strait of Malacca by directly supplying energy to its landlocked west. The Shwe project is Burma's largest ever foreign-investment commitment. (The second largest is the Yadana pipeline to Thailand.) Though Arakan sits...
...movie does not have a dramatic soundtrack, for instance, that would attempt to evoke specific reactions and emotions in the audience. These subtle directorial choices might fail to lure the average viewer, but those who open their hearts to the life of a man working at a fishing boat dock will likely find themselves steadily absorbed in his relationships and all their complications. The story revolves around Slimane (Habib Boufares), a tired 61-year-old shipyard worker who is laid off from his job after decades of faithful labor. His ensuing unemployment is marked by an absence of direction...
