Dear Editor,
I totally agree with Matthew Robinson (The
Phnom Penh Post, Letters to the Editor, January 22) about the removal
of the chairs and tables from the riverside - Sisowath Quay.
Whose
bright idea was this? Much of the charm has disappeared and I suspect
many people, including me, will go for an outdoor drink or bite to eat
in another area where we are not forced to sit indoors now at some of
our favorite spots.
All those beautiful palm trees in front of
the Bougainvillier Hotel gone, as well as easy access to many menus.
Now you have to go inside to look at most of them.
Have the
police been around to check on the cars parked right across one's path,
or seen the many motos that now fill the spaces left vacant by street
sellers? This morning I even saw a tuk-tuk parked on the sidewalk. Nice
change!
