December 31, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Dipika Kohli Northwest Asian Weekly Four minutes is all I can take. It’s not jetlag. Or culture shock. It’s just hot. I’m in a sauna. In Malmoe, in Sweden. Guidebooks and everything, they talk about this. You go to Scandinavia, and you go to the sauna. For the coziness. For warmth and safety, inside, […]

BLOG: Experiencing intriguing Cambodia on our own (Part 2)

December 24, 2015 By Assunta Ng

By Assunta Ng Northwest Asian Weekly Some travel guidebooks state a Frenchman discovered the ruins of Angkor, Cambodia, in 1860. That claim irks some Cambodians and foreigners.

The Travel Report — Navigating through weather and nostalgia in Cambodia

August 28, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Dipika Kohli Northwest Asian Weekly The rainy season in Cambodia is definitely moody, but to the point. It’s punctual, at times, but always loud. Irreverent.
