  2. Happy to see more high buildings built in Cambodia rather than transfer many cinemas into night club. Nice shot, dude!!!

  3. @Daravuth: More building and transferring cinemas into night clubs seem two different topics. Cinema industry going down comes from the poor quality of local movie makers.

    @Khmerbird: I'm still skeptical about the Khmer term "ធ្វើ​នំអត់​ម្សៅ (making cake without powder)" of the Korean company. However, i hope it's not true.
