...decade-long war against the royal army, have not forgotten so easily. A recent trip to India by Gyanendra, who lives quietly in a private residence in the capital, prompted howls of outrage from members of the government who are wary of his dealings with Nepal's influential southern neighbor. The Maoists, observers say, need to raise the specter of royalist nefariousness to boost their own flagging support. "They need to create a sense of threat, of a larger enemy, to distract the people from their failings," says Dixit...
...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.

Fewer out-of-towners also means less spending at the airport and on transportation (cabs, rental cars, and so on). Also, it's safe to assume that a portion of the Michigan State basketball fan base would have spent money...
...housing estate littered with boarded-up properties. Life on the estate has improved in recent years, he says - still sporting the luminous vest from one of the two truck driving jobs he holds down to meet his mortgage payments - although petty crime remains a blight. The windows of his neighbor's new car were smashed recently. "You can't leave anything inside," Calado says. "Even a GPB 3 pair of sunglasses...
