Only Cuba and the USA have any form of Cambodian representation in the western hemisphere. The Cambodian embassy in Cuba is holdover from communist ties during the Khmer Rouge genocide days. Needless to say, it's full of corruption and likely serves as a way to help rich Cambodians launder money. They don't respond to emails and calling abroad from Suriname even one minute costs upwards of 50 cents. Even a short call to the US Embassy here in Suriname costs me more than $10 US in phone credit.

We've been in contact with the Cambodian Embassy in the USA, but there is nothing at all they've been willing to do to help us. At this time we feel stateless even though that's not the case. But I must say it's very similar, especially considering both of our countries have done zero to help us. I don't blame Cambodia though, because it's a developing country full of corruption and problems.

However, the USA tries to act like it is a place of freedom and justice, and as if it cares, but the truth couldn't be more opposite. I can sense when I'm dealing with American authorities that each person is more concerned about keeping their job than they are to do the right thing. Well, all it does is remind how glad I am that I've never voted to support any of these fools.
