  • New Municipal dumpsite outside of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. ..RUBBISH DUMP RECYCLING. The statistics show that up to 90% of Aluminum cans, plastic bottles, cardboard and plastic bags are recycled in Cambodia..The old Smokey Mountain, was closed down because it has become a prime development site. It was infamous for the number of child workers, its smokey atmosphere and the inhumane working conditions. The new dumpsite is no different, but its a klandfill site, and in the countryside, just hidden from view and no press have been allowed entry. Its 30 km outside of town, off the tourist route and difficult fo the rubbish recyclers to get there, except if they pay for transport to get there and back, reducing the meagre amount of the earnings. Having no other work available this is what they do.

  • Self catering apartment. Kilconquhar Castle, Fife, haunted for centuries.  This site was where many witches in the East Neuk of Fife were executed - by drowning in the local loch. The castle started life as a 16th century tower house and has been considerably extended. All the original windows were enlarged in the 19th century, as it took on its role as a comfortable family home. Now it is a hotel where strange things go bump in the night and historical enactments of Scottish murder mysteries take place on a regular basis...Many of Scotland's castles are associated with ghosts, apparitions and strange noises. They have histories in some cases stretching back over 800 years. Some 150 Scottish castles are known to have this reputation. Apart from histories of murder, romance, and war, there were trials for witchcraft are recorded over several centuries. Fife county of Scotland is situated between the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth, with inland boundaries to Perth and Kinross and Clackmannanshire. It was originally one of the Pictish kingdoms, known as Fib, and is still commonly known as the Kingdom of Fife within Scotland.
