Asia Addict & more

Asia Addict & more Barangs Draw Cambodia: Artist "Mats!?" has a travel memoir out about Southeast Asia, reminiscent of Jerry Swaffield, just a tiny bit. Includes cartoons about Cambodian temples and Khmer pop. Available from Spark Plug Comic Books. http://www.sparkplugcomicbooks.com/books/asiaddict/pages/Asiaddict.html http://www.sparkplugcomicbooks.com/books/asiaddict/pages/Asiaddictpg2.html http://www.sparkplugcomicbooks.com/books/asiaddict/pages/Asiaddictpg3.html And here's a downloadable PDF comic by Jose Encinas. Better Factories? It's from the 'Better Factories' International Labor Organization project (with many other partners) addressing Cambodia's standards and competitiveness. Worth a look, everyone is wondering why the Cambodian garment trade hasn't disappeared to China. Well, here's some explanations why. Looks like they've put a lot of work into their project. And they're taking a tip from top rated 'message' soap opera 'Taste of Life', they are doing their own soap opera called 'At the Factory Gates'. I must get a look at this. Tags: Cambodia, comics
