Solution to traffic problem in Phnom Penh city


Phnom Penh, a city of more than 2 million dwellers ( 2006 est ) , and the heart of the business and political center in Cambodia . During the 1920s to 1960s, it was known as the Pearl of Asia but glumly turned into unrest political turmoil and then horribly a ghost house during the late 1970s. Though recently situation is much better than the darkness era, major social problems still ecstatically view the city as their paradise. Among which, traffic jam and accident are by at large caused by the recklessness and lawless of the drivers and especially motor riders.

What is funny here is that those drivers have created their own traffic rules.

Green light: It’s my way. I can drive whatever speed I want
Red light : Not my way though, but I glance at left and right then double my speed
Yellow light : Top speed



Consequently, when worse comes to worst , you can get stuck there for hours until there is an intervention of the traffic police. However, the question is “Why don’t they dig for the root of the problem and solve it with law that is already passed by the National Assembly? Why do they step in only when problem is already occurred?” This is not to mention of the low ranking officers who are given an undeserved salary of 20 to 30 USD per month but those who are the chief traffic police officers.

To my idea, I suggest a construction of a roof at each corner of the crossroad that protects them against the sunlight. This is because most of the time , the temperature is very hot and they always look for somewhere to escape from the sunlight. Likewise, we see people driving under the shadow of the tree more than anywhere of the road. Once we build a roof for them to relax at each corner of the crossroads, they will slow down the speed and relax under the cool roof with a mighty air while waiting for the green light to come. Therefore, there will be less accidents and similarly less traffic jam at the crossroad. However, it’s applicable only when the weather is hot but how about at night or during the raining season? I believe people will get used to it when they apply it so often in the day time.

Here is an innovative idea to solve traffic problem in Denmark. Not sure if we should apply it also ? haha... By the way, girl under 21 is not allowed to watch this clip, and if you insist , I sincerely apologize in advance ...

THe BOoK I aM REaDing....

I decided instead waking up looking for toys to play or wasting my time checking my friend's blogs ( just kidding ) , I will read this book . I know I will never ever finish if I don't put the constrainst on my reading , so I decided to put it as 1 chapter for 1 day :). I was turned down many times because of those unfriendly bold Ph.D authors who on earth never ever wrote an understandable book , at least to me , that I could proudly say" Yes, I understand what da hec you mean ". However, the world we are living always entail us to be resilent, otherwise we're DEAD. This time I will give myself one more chance because I find this book more friendly than others ;).

What You Mean To Me =)

I wrote your name on sand, it got washed
I wrote your name in air, it was blown away, then
I wrote your name on my heart and I got heart attack.

God saw me hungry, He created pizza
He saw me thirsty, He created Pepsi
He saw me in the dark, He created light
He saw me without problems, He created YOU.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
You should know what you are
And once you know what you are
Mental hospital is not so far.

The rain makes all things beautiful,
The grass and flowers too
If rain makes all things beautiful,
Why doesn't it rain on you?

Roses are red, violets are blue
Monkeys like you should be kept in zoo
Don't feel so angry you will find me there too
Not in cage but laughing at you,

When your life is in the darkness,
Pray to God ask Him to free you from the darkness,
And if after you pray and you are still in the darkness,
Please pay your ELECTRICITY BILL!!!
