 Tamiflu | ngythanh
(8356) [2007-05-26 03:18:49] | | In Sept 2005, experts in Hong Kong have warned that the human strain of the H5N1 bird flu that surfaced in Vietnam was showing resistance to the antiviral drug Tamiflu. Countries around the world were stockpiling Tamiflu to ward off a looming flu pandemic that could kill millions of people. Drug manufacturers were urged to make more effective versions of Relenza, an inhaled antiviral that is also known to be effective in battling the much feared H5N1. |

 Tools | ngythanh
(8356) [2007-05-25 21:22:07] | In order to handle the rice donation in Chong Kneas, I prepared and brought along from home in Houston, Texas:
- Pen
- Pencil
- Student's notecards
- Eye glasses
- 98% DEET mosquito repellent
Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the most wanted item: a calculator.
To fix this problem, immediately at my return home, I had one stored inside my photographic backback. I hope you will not repeat my mistake: you will need it during your trek to convert back and forth between your home-country currency and visited location's money. |

 Cambodian Riel | ngythanh
(8356) [2007-04-28 12:23:03] | .
According to Wikipedia, the riel was introduced to replace the French Indochinese piastre in Cambodia at the same time as the Lao kip and the South Vietnamese đồng. The riel was at first subdivided into 100 centimes (abbreviated to cent. on the coins) but this changed in 1959 to 100 sen. For the first few years, the riel and piastre circulated alongside each other. Indeed, the first riel banknotes were also denominated in piastres. Not until 1955 were notes issued denominated solely in riel.
When the Khmer Rouge took control of the country in 1975, they abolished banknotes. Until 1978 when the Vietmanese arrived, the riel was re-established as the Cambodian currency in 1980, initially at a value of 4 riels = 1 US dollar. It is subdivided into 10 kak or 100 sen. Because there was no money for it to replace and a severely disrupted economy, the central government gave away the new money to the populace in order to encourage its use.
The riel is today used mainly for buying local produce and other merchandise. The US dollar, particularly the one-dollar bill, is widely used throughout Cambodia for virtually all purposes and is often preferred to the riel, earning it a reputation as the country's "unofficial second currency".
