texascity Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 PHNOM PENH, Sept 30 (Reuters) - A new Cambodian cafe w/ a menu featuring rice-water and leaves, and waitresses dressed in the black fatigues worn by Pol Pot's ultra-Maoist guerrillas. Newly opened across the road from Phnom Penh's notorious Tuol Sleng "S-21" Khmer Rouge interrogation and torture centre, the cafe is meant to remind Cambodians of the 1975-1979 genocide in which an estimated 1.7 million people died. http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/BKK6585.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 It has been closed pending a license issue or2, or 3, or...Also, it is a subject of great debate of whether to allow it to open or not, and whether it hypes the Khmer Rougue positively or not...some want an pout right bann on wearing the uniform (similar to laws against Nazi emblems, unifirms etc in Germany).

Guest lazyphil Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Regardless of the evil of the KR and the Nazis it has to be said those Nazi bastards had much better dress sense than the recycled car tyres for shoes the Khmer Rouge thugs wore, the best dressed thugs were the redcoats of course persecuting the boers in the original concertration camps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
