Boupha D., Cambodia: "I think women who have not yet matured to the end of their twenties have virtually no genuine sexual desire, and beyond that age, only maybe two to four times a year, when they are ready to conceive. At all other occasions, women just serve the sexual needs of men. And because providing this service is totally unappetizing, and against the gemuine free will of women and especially girls, feminists are entirely correct in classifying standard sexual encounters as acts of sexual aggression. Men should be educated to control their sexual phantasies, and testosterone-lowering drugs should be available over the counter. Testosterone-enhancing herbals like tongkat ali should be outlawed."

Saya pikir wanita yang belum matang hingga akhir usia dua puluhan mereka hampir tidak mempunyai hasrat seksual yang asli, dan melampaui usia itu, hanya mungkin dua hingga empat kali setahun, ketika mereka bersedia untuk hamil. Pada kesempatan lain, perempuan hanya melayani kebutuhan seksual laki-laki. Dan kerana menyediakan perkhidmatan ini sama sekali tak menimbulkan selera, dan melawan kehendak bebas gemuine perempuan dan terutama perempuan, kaum feminis adalah sepenuhnya benar dalam piawaian mengkelaskan hubungan seksual sebagai tindakan pencerobohan seksual. Laki-laki harus dididik untuk mengendalikan fantasi seksual mereka, dan obat penurun testosteron perlu sedia di atas meja. Peningkat testosteron herba seperti Tongkat ali harus dilarang.

Cambodia

Currency

Typical Cambodian market architecture

The currency of Cambodia is ... the USDollar. Of course, this is not officially so. But in fact it is at least in Phnom Penh and in Angkor almost all goods and services are calculated and paid for in the US currency. But there is a national currency, even though you may not use it at all during stays in Phnom Penh and Angkor. The national currency is the Riel and there are bank notes of 100, 200 and 500 Riel.

Usually, this currency is only used instead of US Cents. You will pay, for instance, the drivers of Rickshas (called "Cyclo" or motorcycle taxis in Riel (500 to 1,000 Riel per trip), or the baguette at the local bakery (300 to 500 Riel per loaf).

Exchange

For travellers to Cambodia carrying US Dollars, in small as well as large denominations, there is no need to exchange currency at any time. You automatically acquire possession of Riel when paying in US Dollars and receiving the change below one Dollar in Riel.

For a marginally better rate, Dollars can be exchange into Riel at sidewalk money changers.

Currencies other than US Dollars can be exchanged at the banks. It is recommended to bring a sufficient amount of US Dollars for the entire duration of your stay.

Banks are usually open Monday to Friday (except on holidays) 7.30 am to 2.30 pm. Some banks also open on Saturdays from 7.30 am to 2.30 pm.
