Run of Shame prize for ‘most tragic’ fake breasts

Keen Reapers have already started training for this year’s Angkor Wat International Half Marathon, but for those of a less athletic bent, the one kilometre Reapers’ Run of Shame tomorrow promises a more achievable goal.
The run, with its tagline, “run, walk or stagger,†was devised last year by Australian expat and ABCs and Rice strategic planner Monica Butler. It was a huge success, with over a hundred people taking part and some describing it as the best day they’d had in Siem Reap.
“Obviously expats and locals in Siem Reap want something more to do than just quizzes,†Butler says. “For fundraisers we’re so over-quizzed. I just wanted to do something completely different. Last year we raised $2000 for ABCs and Rice in Siem Reap and we just had so much good feedback.

Myanmar is in the process of setting up a documentation centre to reflect on decades of human rights abuses. It’s using the records of Toul Sleng prison as inspiration.
When Chit Min Lay first visited Toul Sleng last month, the cramped cells and blood-splattered walls were eerily familiar. It looked just like “his jailâ€: the concrete box in Myanmar where he spent 14 years as a political prisoner. He saw the photographs of victims, and turned away.
“I didn’t dare to see their faces, because I lost my friends in prison. I didn’t want to see these horrible things.â€
The scramble to Siem Reap

As Cambodia’s busy tourism season approaches, domestic and regional airlines are scrambling to offer Siem Reap routes in a bid to capitalise on the growing number of visitors to the Angkor Wat gateway.
The expansion means travellers in the region will have a wider variety of choices, and as competition tightens when the influx occurs around November, potentially lower prices.
In the past several months, players have entered the fray at a consistent rate. The latest, Korean carrier Air Busan, a subsidiary of Asiana Airlines, plans for scheduled daily flights between Busan, South Korea’s second-largest city, and Siem Reap, according to Vann Chanty, director of the Air Transport Department of Cambodia’s State Secretariat of Civil Aviation.
