Russian Market vendors get eviction notice

End is nigh, Diana reports.

I got a call from the Bloom manager in Phnom Penh this morning. Vendors at the Russian Market, where we have a stall, were told the government was going to shut down the market.

We have heard similar rumours for the last year or more, that the market would be closed for either (a) renovations or (b) relocation.

The rumors are likely true this time. Diana says vendors are appealing to Los Strongman, Cambodia’s patron saint of lost causes.
