Sharon the CARE Cambodia country director popped in to my little fishbowl office yesterday and said they were closing the Pailin CARE office due to the dispute on the Cambodia-Thai border around the Preah Vihear temple - didn't really think much of it.
Today she popped her head in again and said they're evacuating the Koh Kong office because of the same tiff, as both sides had started shooting at each other - http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/10/15/2392242.htm. This now seems a little strange - I was there 4 days ago, and it certainly didn't seem like there were any wars going on (not that I would necessarily know what the feels like).
Anyway, back to work.....
