BarCamp Phnom Penh

BarCamp Phnom Penh is coming soon! Yehey!

I wasn’t able to join last year as I thought I don’t belong in a ‘geek’s world’ but now it’s different. Nestle gave me the link earlier and asked to register, which I did without any hesitation

It’s going to an exciting conference for a newcomer like me. There will be topics discussed about hacking, latest in technology and many more that will surely keep the interests of visitors. The conference will be held at Pannasastra University of Cambodia (PUC) on October 3 & 4, 2009. It is open for everybody as long as you are interested to know about the latest in communication and innovation. Bring your friends with you

If you are staying in Cambodia and would like to join, feel free to register here.

Cambodia Public Holidays

My sister Inah is complaining about the holidays in the Philippines. She said that since President Arroyo changed the number of holidays, businesses went slow. Apparently, there are businesses being pulled out because they don’t make money when there’s too much holidays in a country.

Here in Cambodia, it’s the other way around. We do not complain, we love it and we enjoy it!

Here’s the list of their holidays

January 1 – New Years Day

January 7 – Victory from Genocide Day

February – Meak Bochea

March 8 – International Women’s Day

April 13-15 or 14-16 – Cambodian New Year (most important festival on the    calendar)

May – Visaka Bochea

May 1 – Labour Day

May – Royal Ploughing Day

May 13-15 – HM the King’s Birthday (King Norodom Sihamoni)

June 18 – HM the Queen Mother’s Birthday (Queen Norodom Monineath Sihanouk)

September 24 – Constitution Day

September – Pchum Ben (3 days off)

October 29 – Coronation Day

October 31 – HM King Father’s Birthday (King Father Norodom Sihanouk)

November 9 – Independence Day

November – Water Festival (3 days off)

December 10 – Human Rights Day

If you intend to visit Cambodia, choose the days where they have a long break, this will make your trip more remembering because of the festivities in town. It’s holiday again tomorrow and I like it so much as I am not over yet with my holiday mood since the break last week

Chatzones

Nestle’s family is going to US very soon and of course they will miss us terribly. One way to enjoy their stay there is to have a good communication and eventually, find new friends. I found some chat zones that would be helpful for them to be familiar with places.  Ohio chat lines contains interesting topics you can join. This will be fun as there are a lot of new members in the site. This will boost their interest to keep posted on what’s happening in and out of the city.

Direct Satellite TV

What better way can you enjoy your direct TV aside from having more than 265 channels everyday?

Direct Satellite TV is in demand and there is a big percentage of consumers who are enjoying the benefits of easy access and non-intermittent connection.Many of them has switched from Cable to Direct TV Satellite. A wise consumer will automatically find out the advantages of using this new technology and will eventually decide to change for a more efficient service.

There is a big comparison between cable TV and Direct TV. First, Direct TV cost cheaper than Cable TV. Second,with Direct TV you can enjoy HD programming unlimited and last, you can gain more friends by letting your neighbors watch games or any other programs with you when their able is out of service because a tree has fallen on it.

Take this chance to enjoy 5 months free of service if you sign up today for your Direct Satellite TV.

Happy Birthday Papsy :)
