Entire functions mapping uncountable dense sets of reals onto each other monotonically
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: When and are countable dense subsets of , it is a well-known result of Cantor that and are order-isomorphic. A theorem of K.F. Barth and W.J. Schneider states that the order-isomorphism can be taken to be very smooth, in fact the restriction to of an entire function. J.E. Baumgartner showed that consistently and any two subsets of having points in every interval are order-isomorphic. However, U. Abraham, M. Rubin and S. Shelah produced a ZFC example of two such sets for which the order-isomorphism cannot be taken to be smooth. A useful variant of Baumgartner's result for second category sets was established by S. Shelah. He showed that it is consistent that and second category sets of cardinality exist while any two sets of cardinality which have second category intersection with every interval are order-isomorphic. In this paper, we show that the order-isomorphism in Shelah's theorem can be taken to be the restriction to of an entire function. Moreover, using an approximation theorem of L. Hoischen, we show that given a nonnegative integer , a nondecreasing surjection of class and a positive continuous function , we may choose the order-isomorphism so that for all and for all , .

Candidate Interview ReviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Helpful (1)No OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Wolf Medical Systems (North Surrey, BC (Canada)) in June 2011.
Ok so this "company" calls people for an 'interview' when they are not even hiring anyone. They just want to know what you look like. The interviewer, VP of Sales and Marketing totally insulted me and was very rude. Said that I provided an "Unsolicited Application" well no I didn't. If he would get his head out of the Canucks game and stop rushing for lunch it would have been much more of a pleasant interview. He didn't even sit in his chair, he was like sitting on the corner just waiting to get me the heck out of there. This is the second time I have had an interview with this 'company' and the same results. They tell you right in your face that you are worthless and degrade you to nothing. Why drag me all the way to your office if you don't even have a position for me? Not only that.. his secretary changed our Interview date and time maybe 5 times due to "scheduling conflicts". He didn't even say sorry for this. He pretty much called me a liar regarding my previous work history that I did get terminated from the job because well, the company didn't like to keep people for more than 90 days, he did not believe me one bit. Even if he did give me an offer, I would not want to work with such rude people as the staff at Wolf Medical Systems.
Interview Questions
- Why did you leave this company? Ohh if you were so good, why did they let you go I don't believe you. Answer Question
- No OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Wolf Medical Systems (North Surrey, BC (Canada)) in December 2010.
I did approach this company with an unsolicited approached for employment. I was able to obtain a 1:1 meeting, but it became obvious that there is little in the way of organized human resource management or a formalized application and hiring process. Impressions are that the company struggles with internal communication and process management. follow up e-mails to my contact did not result in further discussions, and not formal offer was ever presented. The reception area was busy with technical staff passing through, but largely ignoring each other. I would question reporting process and accountability matrix before accepting an offer of employment.

The first section to be dealt with is Wells, in Memories from the main Contents menu which, itself, has been slightly re-arranged (Upper & Lower Froyle maps and links have changed sides)
This month's photograph was actually taken a year ago, just over the road from us, at "Warren Cottage", which has just been totally re-furbished.
I have augmented the Wells section in Memories with more details of wells in the village.

This invention relates to welding methods and to a novel backup for use therein; the invention is particularly concerned with single pass, high temperature, high current, or heavy plate welding.
In the manufacture of large tanks, ships, etc., metal plates are often joined together by abutting their edges and joining them with a weld seam. It is highly desirable, if not absolutely essential, that there be a complete penetration from face to root (i.e., from the welding side to the opposite side) of the welded material. To insure that a 100% weld seam is formed (i.e., that the weld material penetrates completely from the face to the root) one conventional practice has been to form the weld seam by welding in multiple passes on each side of the plates to be joined. This procedure produces sound welds, but is expensive and time consuming because of the need to weld from two sides.
Various methods have been proposed which permit metal plates to be welded from one side. For example, rectangular, square or bar-like welding backups have been employed. A welding backup is centrally positioned behind the plates to be welded so as to contain the molten material generated in the welding process. As the molten material cools it solidifies into a weld seam or "bead" that requires no additional welding from the opposite side of the plates. Metallic backup bars made from copper or a metal similar to the plate to be welded have been used in combination with an inorganic parting layer. This combination prevents the joining of the backup to the weld.
Non-metallic welding backups are particularly advantageous, as described in R. H. Keith "Weld Backings Come of Age" June 1975, Welding Journal, p. 422; since they do not involve many of the cost and implementation disadvantages of metallic weld backings. Heat resistant tapes, e.g., as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,001,057 (Hackman et al); and U.S. Pat. No. 3,138,863 (Clark et al) and rigid heat resistant ceramic tile or glass materials, e.g., as described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,820,427 (Chyle et al) are exemplary non-metallic welding backup materials. The present invention relates generally to non-metallic (e.g., ceramic) welding backups.
Conventional ceramic welding backups generally have working surfaces that are either flat or that have a single longitudinal groove therein. Referring to FIG. 1, two relatively heavy (e.g. 12 mm or over) parent metal plates 10 have been positioned in slightly spaced apart relationship so that they may be welded from above. A prior art ceramic welding backup 12 having an essentially flat working surface 14 is positioned beneath plates 10 so as to contain a puddle of molten weld material 11 (i.e., parent metal, filler metal and welding flux) generated in the "V" defined by the angle cut plate edges 16. The heat generated in welding melts the weld material and in turn the ceramic tile 12 (the melted portions of the plates 10 and backup 12 being shown in phantom) thus creating in the tile a central zone of melted ceramic. As the ceramic material is melted, the more dense weld material displaces the melted ceramic creating on the tile working surface a concave channel 18. The displaced hot ceramic material, in turn, displaces molten parent metal producing indentations or undercuts 20 in the parent metal plate. As the molten metal and ceramic material cool, highly undesirable undercut welds corresponding to indentations 20 remain when the ceramic backup is removed.
In an attempt to eliminate the formation of undercut welds which tend to diminish the strength of a weld seam, ceramic backup tiles having single longitudinal grooves have previously been employed. As depicted in FIG. 2, a ceramic backup tile 22 having on its working face 24 a single groove 26 (shown in phantom) is positioned beneath the spaced-apart plates 10 so as to cooperate therewith to contain a puddle of molten weld material 11. As described above, the molten weld material melts the ceramic backup. However, little or no ridges or undercuts are formed because the molten weld materials and molten ceramic flow into the groove 26 and thus are not deleteriously forced against the plates 10. Unfortunately conventional back-up tiles that are grooved deeply enough and wide enough to prevent the formation of undercut welds produce a large and equally objectionable backside reinforcement 28. Backside reinforcements which are too large must be machined off, requiring additional labor and expense.
The present invention provides grooved, preferably ceramic, welding backups that reduce the tendency to form undercut welds, and produce a relatively small backside reinforcement. Moreover, the present invention provides welding backups which permit the maximum thickness of the backup to be positioned adjacent the hottest sector of the weld, thereby minimizing backup burn-through (i.e., burning through the backup by the molten weld material).
The present invention provides heat-resistant welding backups (preferably comprising a rigid, ceramic material) which are essentially "W" shaped in transverse cross-section. More particularly, the present invention provides, in one aspect, a heat-resistant welding backup having a broad, generally planar working face, said working face having parallel grooves therein, a central ridge disposed between said grooves and substantially flat lands at the sides of said grooves. In a preferred embodiment, the present welding backup comprises a ceramic tile, the tile having two generally planar, parallel faces, one of the planar faces being the working face. In another embodiment the present welding backups are adapted to interconnect with similarly adapted backups in a continuous flexible chain or train that is capable of conforming to concave, convex and irregular surfaces which are to be joined by means of a one-side weld.
The present invention is described in greater detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters refer to the same elements in the same views and in which:
FIGS. 1 and 2 are representative prior art welding backups as discussed above;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a welding backup of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a completed one-side weld, single pass employing the welding backup of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a schematic isometric view of a plurality of the welding backups of the invention aligned on a flexible backing.
Depicted in FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a preferred ceramic welding backup of the invention, the backup 30 having a generally planar working face 32, the working face 32 having therein generally parallel grooves 34 (defined by groove sides 34a, 34b and the bottom or floor 34c of the groove 34), a central ridge 36 disposed between the grooves and the substantially flat lands 38 at the sides of the grooves. This embodiment of the welding backup has a second planar face 39 which is generally parallel to the working face 32. As explained below, it is preferred that the total volume of the grooves below the apex 37 of ridge 36 be equal to or greater than the total volume of the central ridge above groove floor 34c. In this embodiment, the total volume of the grooves is the product of the total length of both grooves and the area of the polygon defined by groove sides 34a and 34b and groove floor 34c and dotted line 40 which is extrapolated from the apex 37 of ridge 36 to groove side 34a. The "depth of the groove" is the vertical distance from the bottom of the groove 34c to flat lands 38. The volume of the central ridge is the product of the length of the central ridge and the area of the polygon defined by right and left groove sides 34b, dotted line 42 which is extrapolated from groove floor 34c and the apex 37 of ridge 36. The "height of the ridge" is the vertical distance from dotted line 42 to the apex 37 of ridge 36.
Depicted in FIG. 4 is a completed root weld (a single pass weld from one side of the plate which produces a preliminary weld seam that may be thickened in a second pass from the same side) using the weld backup 30 of FIG. 3. Two relatively thick (e.g. greater than 12 mm) parent metal plates 50 with angle cut edges 52 were positioned so as to be slightly spaced apart with a welding backup (as in FIG. 3) centrally located behind the plates, the central ridge 36 of the backup being aligned with the space between the plates. A conventional welding process such as submerged arc was employed to produce a mass of molten welding material 54 contained by the backup 30 and the plates 50. As the molten weld material flows between the plates and contacts the ceramic backup, the thicker central ridge 36 of the backup is melted and flows into the grooves 34. As noted above, the total volume of the two grooves is preferably equal to or greater than the volume of the central ridge. When the total volume of the grooves is equal to or greater than the volume of the central ridge, all of the ridge can be melted and flow into the grooves without the molten ceramic deleteriously contacting the plates 50 and generating undercut welds. Additionally, no excessively large backside reinforcement develops because the volume of molten weld material that flows to the backside of the plates is reduced by the volume occupied by the central ridge. The ceramic backup contains the mass of welding material 54 and itself melts in such a manner that upon cooling, a uniformly rounded weld seam having a thin, rounded backside weld 54a and uniform frontside weld 54b is generated. Between the backup and the backside weld 54a a zone of resolidified glassy ceramic material 56 develops. (For clarity, the zone of resolidified ceramic was omitted from FIGS. 1 and 2.) Using the present novel backup, a sound root weld which requires little or no subsequent rework is formed in a single pass.
The welding backup of the present invention may be externally supported adjacent the plates to be joined, e.g., by the use of magnetic or suction clamps, or the backup may be made self-supporting. A preferred means of supporting the backup is a flexible heat resistant backing 60 having thereon a pressure sensitive adhesive 62, the adhesive adhering the tiles to the backing, and the backing to the metal plates. During shipping and storage, pressure sensitive adhesive 62 which is to adhere the backup to the metal plate may be protected from contamination by covering it with a disposable low adhesion liner. Flexible backings and adhesives suitable for use in the present invention are extensively discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,372,852 (Cornell), the teachings of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The welding backups of the present invention may be manufactured from any heat-resistant material. Heat-resistant materials such as woven glass fiber or granular (e.g., sand) materials in various binders may be used to fabricate the present welding backups. Preferred materials in the practice of the present invention include rigid magnesia-alumina-silica ceramics (especially ceramic tiles) such as forsterite, cordierite, or steatite. Any of a number of processes such as machining, casting, dry-pressing or extrusion may be employed to fabricate the present welding backups from the preferred materials, these processes being well known to one skilled in the art. The fabrication techniques preferably employed herein are dry pressing or extrusion.
In a preferred arrangement, a plurality, chain or train of the welding backups of the present invention may be aligned on a flexible heat resistant backing. The ends of the present backup may be fabricated so as to be capable of being linked together to form a flexible chain on a backing which can be positioned adjacent flat, concave, convex, irregular, etc. metal plates to be welded. Assignee's pending patent applications entitled, "Pivotably Interlocking Rigid Heat-Resistant Tiles", Ser. No. 905,152 filed on May 12, 1978, in the name of Roger H. Keith, and "Welding Backup Employing a Train of Knuckle-Joint Tiles", Ser. No. 905,153 filed on May 12, 1978, in the name of John B. Snell, disclose techniques for forming rigid, ceramic welding backups into flexible chains. The disclosure of these two patent applications is incorporated by reference herein.
Depicted in FIG. 5 is an example of one means by which, according to the technique disclosed in said pending application Ser. No. 905,153, a plurality of the welding backups of the present invention may be linked together to form a flexible chain on a flexible heat resistant backing. A train of generally flat ceramic welding backups 30A, 30B, 30C and 30D, each backup having two parallel grooves 34, a central ridge 36 and substantially flat lands 38 positioned in contiguous end-to-end relationships extends centrally the full length of flexible, heat resistant backing 60. A pair of disposable low adhesion liners or webs 64 protect adhesive coating 62 from contamination during shipping and storage. A convex cylindrical surface 70 is at one end of each backup, and a concave cylindrical surface 72 is at the other end of each backup. Each cylindrical surface approximates a semi-cylinder and terminates at a stop provided by a shoulder 74 at each end of the convex surface 70 and a ledge 76 at each end of the concave surface 72. Each contiguous pair of backups forms a knuckle joint having semi-cylindrical mating surfaces on substantially a common center of axis through substantially the center of a backup. The adjacent shoulders 74 and ledges 76 are set back to limit the knuckle motion in either direction to about 12 degrees beyond collinear alignment. By removing the disposable webs 64 and adhering the flexible backing bearing backups 30A, 30B, 30C and 30D to adjacent flat, concave, convex, irregular, etc., metal plates to be welded, a sound root weld may be formed on a complex surface in a single pass. Further description of the techniques of linking a plurality of welding backups in the form of a chain will be omitted in the interest of brevity, further details of such techniques being given in said pending applications Ser. Nos. 905,152 and 905,153.
The practice of this invention is illustrated in the following example which should not be construed to limit the scope thereof.
The backup 30 of FIG. 3 was made from a square cordierite ceramic tile 33 mm in width and 7.9 mm in thickness. The two parallel grooves 34 were sawed to 2.4 mm in depth, 5.6 mm width at the top and 4.0 mm width at the bottom. The central ridge was 6.4 mm wide at the top, 9.5 mm at the base and its apex was 1.6 mm above the bottoms of the grooves. When used as a backup for welding 19 mm thick mild steel plates with the submerged arc process, a nearly perfect weld was made, the weld having only a trace of undercuts and having a backside reinforcement 1.6 mm to 3.2 mm in thickness which was considered to be ideal. In contrast, when a similar weld was made using a prior art tile with a rectangular uniform groove 1.6 mm wide by 2.0 mm deep (as shown in FIG. 2) the backside reinforcement was 3.2 mm to 4.8 mm in thickness. When a similar weld was made using a prior art tile having a shallower uniform rectangular groove 16 mm wide and 0.8 mm deep, extensive undercutting resulted.

On January 14, 2014, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 801, the Holding Company Registration Threshold Equalization Act of 2013 (the "Act"), which would increase the number of shareholders that trigger registration and deregistration obligations for savings and loan holding companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Act is designed to correct what is viewed as a technical error in the JOBS Act, which raised the registration threshold from 500 to 2,000 shareholders of record and the deregistration threshold from 300 to 1,200 shareholders of record for banks and bank holding companies, but did not explicitly extend these changes to savings and loan holding companies. Since the passage of the JOBS Act, over 100 banks and bank holding companies have deregistered their common stock under the Exchange Act while similarly situated savings and loan holding companies have continued to be subject to SEC periodic reporting requirements. If the Act is passed by the Senate and signed by the President, savings and loan holding companies will be eligible to take advantage of the higher shareholder of record registration and deregistration thresholds set forth in the JOBS Act.

I use this product myself and find it extremely versatile in many ways. Im an older gentleman and find that my skin is becoming sensitive to heavy seams and the like, and these pantliners fit the bill as far as comfort is concerned. I will be purchasing more soon after I complete my trip to Texas. a person cant have too much comfort in their old age. Thanks for the quality merchandise, as its hard to find nowadays.

The overall size was really large, and not what I expected. I will try to order another size down. The material is fine, and I haven't been wearing them long enough to know how long it lasts before wearing out. But as a warning for ladies under 70 with any sense of style... the top part of these pants (from the crotch to the waist) are HUGE. They can be pulled up past my ribs, and billow out the top of all my pants. But they do keep me warmer and prevent my dress pants from clinging to my legs.

I had some of the wide legged pants that you could see through when held up to the light. I wanted something that would work like a slip. The pant liner was just what I was looking for and the ability to easily adjust the hem length was great. I would recommend this item and think it will work well in the fall to make the pants warmer.

I have been looking for this garment for years. With todays styles, low rider pants, it is impossible to cover your rear. Also with so many new fabrics that cling to you or wrinkle when next to your skin these are a very welcome invite for the above mentioned issues. I will certainly be ordering more of these for myself and also some of my friends who truly need to cover up their rear or stop showing the panty lines and those G-strings (or whatever you call them. I will certainly be ordering more and recommending that others wear them. They are truly a Godsend.

I always buy a new pair of these when the old pair needs to be replaced. They last several years when worn often in cool to cold weather, keeping legs comfortably warm.

Pure Oasis Flow: DAB for the garden
Pure, getting ready for the summer, has launched an update to its Oasis model adding in internet radio capabilities alongside DAB all in a rugged case.
The Oasis Flow, as it will be known, will cost £169.99 and, says Pure, "is ideal for the bathroom, the beach, the garden, DIY, boating, BBQs and any other outdoor scenario".
That ruggedness isn't tough enough to withstand a beating from a 6 year old with a piñata bat, but it is enough to withstand the odd knock and bump while being left out in the rain, while you quickly drag other, more important, things inside - like those burnt sausages you've been grilling.
Rugged in this case means a splash resistant case, waterproof vents, durable cast aluminium framework and rubber seals.
Get past the design and you'll get DAB, FM, and internet radio options as well as aux in, with all the benefits those features bring.
The radio comes with a rechargeable battery so you aren't restricted by the length of a power cord, and it sounds pretty good too thanks to the large speaker set front and forward.
There is also an input for an iPod/MP3 player or PURE's i-10 universal iPod dock so the Oasis Flow can also be used as a portable iPod speaker.
And yes, like other Pure radios in the range, this one comes with PURE Lounge and therefore PURE Sounds, a library of over 100 sounds designed to allow the listener to set the perfect mood or even help their child go to sleep. That might not seem that great now, but word on the street is that Pure is about to launch its own music download service, presumably through its lounge offering, making this one feature that is likely to get better.

Simpson led police on a 50-mile, low-speed chase down Interstate 405 in Los Angeles. Simpson, who was accused of double-murder, was a passenger in a white Ford Bronco driven by former teammate Al Cowlings. The chase, which was watched by a reported 95 million viewers, finally ended when Simpson returned to his Brentwood home. Here are some scenes from that unforgettable day, 20 years later. 1|14 AP This is the last page of a handwritten letter by Simpson to fans, which was read by friend Robert Kardashian during a news conference the day of the chase. 2|14 AP Simpson fans hold a "GO O.J." sign at the intersection of Rockingham Drive and Sunset Boulevard, near Simpson's mansion. 3|14 AP At Madison Square Garden, members of the media watch live television coverage of O.J. Simpson on the Los Angeles freeways. The chase occurred at the same time as Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Rockets. NBC, which was airing the game, cut to split-screen coverage -- the O.J. chase the main image, the game relegated to a small box in the corner. 4|14 AP Motorists exit their vehicles to watch the action as police follow the white Bronco from a safe distance. 5|14 AP Scores of curious onlookers cheer and hold signs in support of Simpson. 6|14 AP After arriving at Simpson's Brentwood area home, Cowlings walks out of the Bronco. 7|14 AP At about 9 p.m., Simpson surrendered to authorities and was driven to the LAPD office. 8|14 AP Simpson was booked on murder charges. 9|14 AP Family members of Simpson react after learning he had surrendered to police. 10|14 AP Simpson's mugshot was one of the most famous images of the decade. His trial lasted over eight months and he was eventually found not guilty by a jury of his peers. 11|14 Ron Galella/WireImage Al "A.C." Cowlings, who claimed Simpson threatened to kill himself with a gun pointed at his own head, was initially charged with a felony for aiding a fugitive, but the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. 12|14 AP Los Angeles Police Department spokesman David Gascon speaks at a news conference to announce the charges against O.J. Simpson. 13|14 AP At Portrero Hill Recreation Center in San Francisco, where Simpson played when he was a boy, a 15-year-old stands under a photo of the fallen star. 14|14 Next up More Sports Welcome to another shocking installment of Did You See That?, the gallery that poses mankind's most pressing existential question.

Introduction by the Editor
I first met TVON, early in the morning, a couple of years ago in a foully overheated Phnom Penh teachers? room, reaking of unwashed armpits and prohok, where my task in life was to spend six hours a day tutoring the unctuous sons and daughters of Cambodia?s emerging bourgeoisie. Whilst preparing for yet another gruelling session down the sweaty brain mine, I felt a rustling of my hair denoting a slight commotion behind me, and so instinctively turned around to see TVON sliding less than gracefully from a computer chair to the floor. He accomplished this feat with all the dignity a bon vivant can muster at 7am in the tropics, and I instinctively knew that this was somebody who, somewhere down the line, I could do business with. During my time in Asia I?d already met enough bedwetting, angry, impotent, unpleasant unhappy souls to last a lifetime, but just who was this dandyish, elegantly wasted genius?
TVON has spent twenty years teaching in Asia and is something of a paradox, being an individual of both serious intellect and even more seriously sketchy, nay riotous behaviour. Who could be better qualified to write a series of teaching articles for www.khmer440.com?
Just an English Teacher – Prologue by the Author
I cannot understand why the word ?prologue? is spelled this way.
It seems to me that ?Pre? would be a more accurate frontal attachment. In addition, I find letters ?ue? at the end of the word offer nothing to its pronunciation – they might as well be silent. They serve as neither a morpheme, nor are they an inflection. They offer no effect to its meaning.
Although I haven?t yet done so yet, I plan to take this matter up with the Department of Linguistic Redundancies Department.
Tvon?s Prelog
Everyone has mnemonic milestones ? probably not many in our lifetime ? but certainly some. Mnemonic milestones are our eternally perfect recollections of specific events that have occurred at various times throughout our lives.
Usually these memories are types of disasters, catastrophes, acts of love or war, or any of our profound life-experiences that have managed to find the part of our memory that is Teflon-coated such that every detail sticks with you ? forever. Astonishingly, you can recall the date, the time, exactly what happened, where it happened and precisely where you were when it happened. And how it affected you and those around you.
Unexpected phone calls from potential female Khmer suitors (of the Persil white variety, rather than the grey around the gills type or, heaven forbid, the black as the devil's arse sort) can be a cryptic experience.
They can often go like this:

The Walkman saga continues… but first an update on the down-home ferry. It"s no longer operating from the southern location at the foot of Street 144. There are now two regular sized ferry boats operating from the foot of Street 106. The service, as a result, is more frequent but there is no longer an pption of boating across after about 8.30PM.
Quite a while ago I caught a fragment of an obscure movie. I have no idea what its name is – which nonetheless, evidently, made a lasting impression. It was about a young fellow who spent his whole life confined to one block in New York City. I didn?t see the part which explained his aberrant behavior, but it clearly must have been a traumatic early life experience.
The fascinating part is how he could manage to provide for his needs in such a confined space. New York, of course, is very dense. One long block, sometimes more than 200 meters, can have hundreds of stores fronting on it and thousands of people living in its apartment houses. Still he probably had to ask favors of friends for those things which he couldn?t access on his own. I"m just guessing; as I said, I only saw a little part of it and it could have been decades ago.
Little did I know when I was watching that movie way back then that I would someday be able to relate it to my own life. In my case, my block is how far I"m comfortable walking. Of course, I can leave whenever I want and use wheels whenever it suits me, but still, I do feel somewhat constrained. When people tell me about an attraction over by the lake, I say, gee, that"s really far, I don"t get around those parts very often. Martini"s? Once every couple of
Regardless, I really don"t feel like I"m missing very much. For me the beauty of living in Phnom Penh is that I actually can take care of almost all of my needs by walking. There are far more bars within an easy walk than I could ever get around to frequenting. Restaurants, markets, bus stations, just about everything I need is at shoe leather distance.
