Cambodia - developing country

Cambodia is a very nice country with poor but kind people. The problem of the country is its high corruption rate.

English is spoken more commonly compared to neighbor hooded Thailand.

Due to several wars and dictatorships in the past as well as the common corruption the country is still underdeveloped.

But anyway it's worth a visit.

As Cambodia's economy has risen, a new rich class has arisen in Phnom Penh, and a crop of new hotels and restaurants has opened to accommodate them and the tourist trade. There is now a large gulf between the very rich and the very poor, largely due to Cambodia's all-pervasive corruption.

The law is just enforced for the ones who cant buy there way out:

In October 2010, an expat witnessed something that happens every day in this country, but what happened next is almost beyond belief if it wasn't recorded on video. A Land Cruiser was tooling up Monivong against the flow on the wrong side of a divided road when he had a head-on accident with a motorcycle. In fact, I didn't see if he actually hit the moto, but when the motorcyclist was confronted with this Land Cruiser coming the wrong way he either dumped his bike trying to avoid it or was hit lightly and knocked over. The downed motorcycle blocked the Land Cruiser, laying in the road partially under the front bumper. The driver stepped out of his car briefly, looking at the moto on the ground and at the motorcyclist limping around rubbing his injured leg. He then demanded the moto-driver drag the motorcycle out of the way so that he could leave. The motorcyclist was indignant, refused and called for help from a group of nearby traffic cops. See a video of what happened next:
