editor’s note Travel is like swimming naked in the ocean at night People talk about travel giving you more, broadening your horizons and expanding your view. That trip away from out shores supposedly makes you more accepting, more understanding, removes prejudices and widens narrow thinking. But what travel really does is strip you bare and it is often brutal. It forces you to trust in strangers and forsake all those familiar sight and sounds and to abandon the safety net of family, friends and familiar surrounding, True travel is taking a risk, a risk of removal and emersion in all that is new and unfamiliar. Travel causes first hand confrontation which challenges our basic needs, and once those are fulfilled we see more clearly the value of what we really actually need. I head it said a ‘tourist’ will tell you where he has been and a ‘traveler’ will tell you where he is going, one is retrospective; the other desiring of the continued confrontation of what is really truly valuable. When you strip bare on a moonlight night and plunge into the seas cold embrace you travel; your senses are charged, your senses are reactive and there are no distractions apart from those of the cold, the sea and the stars. The same activity on a warm summer’s day has all the distraction of a walk down the main stress; noise, weeds, birds, sun, waves and everyone can see you! But with the camouflage of night the enjoyment of the experience is ten fold; it is just like traveling. Your senses are narrowed, challenges and focused, there are no distractions, what is real and valuable is completely tangible. Travel does not have to be the far shores of Japan or the mountain of Nepal; you don’t have to struggle with the jungles of the Amazon or the colds of Antarctica. The root of travel is the newness of the experience, the sensory overload and the removal of the repetitive. The process of travel can be and hour away or twenty four hours away. The key word is ‘away’. I am sure this issue of CityLife will inspire you to travel, if not to anywhere far then at least to somewhere new that will encourage you to look for the next new place to voyage to and the next new challenge to take up. Look at end of 2010 as standing on the beach at midnight. No one can see you so take a risk and plunge naked into the ocean of travel experience.

WHAT YOU NEED IN LIFE TO FEEL GOOD City Life Magazine recently talked to Jef Moons, Chief Executive Officer of Knai Bang Chatt, a private home and resort in beach town Kep, about its history, business growth, and its social enterprise programs to improve the lives of the local community. “What you need in life to feel good,” asked Jef Moons, chief executive officer of Knai Bang Chatt, Cambodia’s high-end resort for individuals, families, and business people looking for their very own moments of serendipity in Kep.
14 30 1
Local Travel There is no place sweeter and warmer than home Just about 146 Km away or two hour drive from Phnom Penh, Knai Bang Chatt resort treats its customers as VIPs and make them feel home. By introducing a new concept of an environment-friendly resort, where anyone can comfortably feel it their home during their vacation or spare time, CEO Jef Moons says “Knai Bang Chatt is the essence of Kep”. Surrounded by French-styled architectures and situated in the southwestern of the country that also borders with Vietnam’s Kien Giang province, the resort is located along the town’s finest beach and is currently equipped with 11 luxury rooms and a sailing club. The private home and resort’s 45 friendly staff are ready to provide and guide customers to enjoy the facilities and services such as massage, spa, meditation, relaxation, kid corner, and the sailing club. It also offers individual and corporate packages at customers’ convenience. The company management hopes to expand 25 more rooms to better accommodate its customers, mostly expatriates from Phnom Penh and businesspeople from European countries. While Kep was once home of Cambodian royal family, the prestigious location also invites them, arts and culture lovers to this historical.
31 With years of success, the resort expects a growing number of Cambodian customers, particularly those who highly value their own time in a place of privacy with their close friends and beloved ones. As Jef Moons explained, it’s something special to spend a beautiful moment with someone you privilege to. And that’s why the individually tailored services in this thoroughly customized and designed private home with beautiful garden and open space to relax, remain on top of the daily operation.
It was back in 2003 when Belgian-born Jef Moons and his friend managed to acquire Kep governor’s house along with the lands next door that belong to the head of custom and of a royal family relative. The property, now one Cambodia’s well-equipped resort for everyone’s experience and enjoyment, is named Knai Bang Chatt. Three years later, it became more or less a resort as the villas, built in the 1970s by Cambodian legendary architecture Van Molyvann. It was until 2009 when it’s completely a high-end, unique resort.
Lakeside swimming pool
Its prime location, beautiful beach view, and well-trained staff to service individual needs, the resort becomes a second home for many who
usually return after their first stay as if it’s a place they call home.

Local Travel Giving back to the community While the small entity now uses all the locally-products like organic food, it also employs 45 staff from the villages and uses some of its profit to sponsor them to go to university. In an exclusive interview with Jef Moons in his office in Phnom Penh, the CEO says “we’re building something too beautiful for this place, so we have to work for those people. And that we wanted to work to start making a project; it took us 2 years and a half.” And with more than one year of preparation, Knai Bang Chatt first committed a forty thousand US dollar project, but now it’s a one million US dollar project that supports 550 families. Educated at Thunderbird School of Global Management, Jef Moons told City Life Magazine that Knai Bang Chatt is working for the Khmer people as “officially 3 percent of the room turnover, not the profit, is going to our 8 programs. But finally we see that more than the profit is going there. So everyone’s booking a room in Knai Bang Chatt is helping the Khmer people. And what we try to do is really to sustain it, make it better, and work up with the local capacity.”
Relaxation and basking in tranquility is a key element at Knai Bang Chatt.

And when asked how the social enterprise concept has improved the image of Knai Bang Chatt as a foreign-owned entity in Cambodia, the CEO, speaking in his French accent, said that “You cannot survive alone in Cambodia, neither can we. What I learn is having respects for your neighbours and by supporting people around you is how you stay alive in Cambodia.” The resort first started by buying everything from Thailand’s Bangkok, but later from Phnom Penh. Knai Bang Chatt has now managed to buy all those materials from the local villages.

The essence of life in Kep
Knai Bang Chatt is Kep’s essence. Do you need television? Do you need all those funky stuff? No. You need a magic place with great view, a place with histories and nice architectures, and come with your friends to have a private moment
Experience the magic romantic charm enchants the heart and soul of the newlywed from London. For Stuart & Paula it’s a pleasure you start your new life in the lap of Knai Bang Chat.
In Knai Bang Chatt CEO’s very own words: “If you come in the arms of somebody who welcome you and who want to share with you this value, then probably youcan be yourself and expressyourself, too. Knai Bang Chatt is a private home open to all the Cambodian people.”

Here are just a few precautions you can take ahead of time: Make sure your immunizations are current. If possible, delay your trip if you’re not feeling well. If you’re prone to air sickness, ask for a window seat over the wing. If you have any health questions, or if you suffer from a chronic ailment, motion sick ness, or fear of flying, ask for advice from your physician. Stress is bad for you.

Beautiful Bedroom Designs
Bedrooms offer a retreat from the stresses of everyday living. Make your private getaway relaxing and refreshing with inspiration from some of our favorites spaces.
55 Tap into your travels
Take a cue from Grandma
Let your travels influence the design of your bedroom. Here, a warm cinnamon hue on the wall sets the tone for an African-inspired bedroom. A dark wood floor adds rustic appeal. The texture of the sofa and the leather ottomans creates a tactile experience. Animal prints on the wall, a zebra rug and leopard-print pillows complete the look.
Make your guests feel like they’re visiting Grandma’s house with a comfortable room inspired by country farmhouse style. A floral bed ruffle and needlepoint pillow recall simpler times. Layers of red and white quilts, a bouquet of fresh flowers and a red rag rug welcome guests to this quaint guest room. As a finishing touch, the chandelier mimics the form of the white iron bed.
Minimize stuff, maximize style
Shades of black, white and gray create a classic yet modern bedroom perfect for letting the world’s stresses float away. A suede-upholstered headboard with a black base provides an updated take on a traditional style. Chunky white molding and minimal accessories maintain the sleek look. A zebra rug, black leather chair and tripod floor lamp offer the finishing touches.
Bring the garden inside
Embrace rich color
A green-and-white palette with hints of pink and blue makes this bedroom feel like stepping into a spring garden. Plain white walls let the colors of the upholstery and floral bedding act as the focal point. A large bay window fills the room with light and offers the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee.
Walls painted a rich shade of eggplant are surprising in a master bedroom, but they create a dramatic backdrop for this grown-up space. Lime green in the curtains and accessories provides a bright accent. Black marble around the fireplace continues the upscale look. A large four-poster anchors the room, while French doors lead to a private balcony.
Embrace the romance Give a guest room a feminine touch with a pink-and-white color scheme. Decorate with cottage roses, flea market finds and green accents. Twin beds tuck under the eaves, creating a cozy space. Pretty rose comforters, checkered quilts and ruffled shams pile on the comfort. An antique chandelier hanging between the beds sweetly completes the space.
56
Reader bedroom’s neutral backdrop. Botanical prints over the fireplace give the space a connection with the outdoors.
Try double-duty furnishings
A daybed built into an inviting nook lets a sitting room double as a guest room. The window seat mimics the built-in bed and soaks up the morning sun. Wallpaper covers the ceiling as well as the walls, wrapping the room in color. A white-painted chair, which matches the room’s trim, offers a convenient place for extra bedding or bags. A tailored valance and Get the blues Love all things blue and white? curtains lend a cheerful final note. Then this bedroom is for you. Blue walls and white trim set the stage, but the room’s real charm comes from the mix of patterns and shades of periwinkle. A solid comforter keeps the combination of fabrics and colors from looking too busy. All the accessories--from the lamps’ blue-and-white shades to the blue-and-white rag rug-complement the scheme. To anchor the room, dark nightstands provide a bit of visual relief.
Stripe it rich
Pick nature’s colors
Touches of green and brown take a cue from nature and add understated style in this formal bedroom. Beige window treatments with a green edge subtly complement the other furnishings. The rich dark wood on the four-poster and side chairs stands out against the
Pink and green stripes fill this bedroom with color. A padded headboard with a pink flower print acts as a cheery background for the bed. The stripes in the curtains repeat in the bed ruffle and the bolster, creating a cohesive look. A sunburst mirror surrounded by green and gold plates contrasts the strong vertical lines of the space. To keep the bright palette from being overwhelming, a neutral wall color and carpet ground the scheme.
Adopt texture
Create a sense of elegance in your bedroom with a simple color scheme that emphasizes luxe textures. A linenlike finish on the walls in a shade of pale green creates a natural backdrop for the bedroom. On the floor, a nubby carpet welcomes toes on chilly mornings. The four-poster’s hanging curtains hint at romance, and gold accents add a touch of glamour.

A STAR-SPANGLED RIDE
Tip Free Design Your Bike!
•Craft glue •Splatter Stars •Tape •Safety-flag pole BELL JINGLERS: •Bells •Pipe cleaners
ORGANIZE YOUR DESK WITH VINTAGES FINDS You work hard. Your home office should, too. Put your desk in order with these projects as shown.
SPOKE DECORATIONS:
•Star garlands •Scissors •Straws
1-STREAMER CASCADES Cut and curl ten 2- to 3-foot lengths of metallic curling ribbon. Stack the ribbons and knot them at one end. Using craft glue, sandwich the free ends of several ribbons between splatter-painted stars. Tape the cascade to the top of a safety-flag pole (remove the flag first), then secure the pole to the bike. Tape more curled ribbon to the handlebar 4-BELL JINGLERS Slide three to five bells onto a pipe cleaner and fit it to your child’s handlebars, wrist, or ankle. 3-SPOKE DECORATIONS Weave star garlands into one wheel’s spokes and secure the ends, being sure to stay clear of brakes and gears. With scissors, snip along the length of some straws, then snap them into place on the other wheel. To make noise as you ride, cut some straws to half the spokes’ length. They’ll clack as they slide on the turning wheel.
Forget jams and jellies. Old canning jars are a perfect place to stash paint chips, rubber bands, scissors, and more. Drill through metal hose clamps bought at a hardware store, then attach them with screws to old pieces of decorative wood molding. (Use two screws per clamp so that they won’t twist.) Mount boards to the wall with additional screws. Attach vintage canning jars ($1 to $5) tightly with the clamps; hang some right side up and some upside down. To make it easy to snip a piece of twine or gift-wrap ribbon, punch a hole through a lid, then pull the material through. Be careful, though: If your vintage lid has a glass insert, remove the glass before aiming a drill or metal punch at it.

STORAGE
SOLUTIONS
Tackle your New Year’s resolution to get organized head-on in sweet country style. Here are 10 creative storage solutions get you started. CRAFT SUPPLY STORAGE Organizing is easy when you have a place for everything. Galvanized tins in various sizes coral pencils, brushes, and other craft supplies. Hang containers above your work surface for easy access. HOME OFFICE Turn the corner of a living room into a home office with shelves and a desktop. Choose boxes, binders, files, and accessories in one color to create a unified look. Hide a printer and other supplies behind a fabric skirt. GREAT WALL OF STORAGE Fifty wooden bins line the wall of a craft room to keep fabric and sewing supplies in order. Spotlights illuminate the various colors and textures. ANTIQUE STORAGE An old chicken coop becomes a clever space for storing magazines. This piece was stripped and cleaned to reveal its old, mellow wood finish. A collection of weather vanes and a lead window frame cozy up a corner.
59 KITCHEN STORAGE
Open shelves create the illusion of space in a small kitchen. Here, glass decanters and simple white china offer a steam-lined look. Galvanized bins below the counter are handy for silverware and utensils.
BEDROOM SHELVES
Looking for storage in the bedroom? Add bookshelves along one wall and count the ways you can start to store. One shelf is a bedside table for an alarm clock and reading lamp; shelves behind the pillows are open so you can prop up without knocking over collections; the rest of the shelves house books, collectibles, and photos.
QUICK STORAGE SOLUTION All you need for this fun idea to keep business cards organized are binder clips, a small tackboard, striped paper, and pushpins.
UNDER-CABINET STORAGE Dress up an ordinary sink stand in no time by adding a cotton seersucker skirt. Plastic bins and a small file cabinet keep things tidy.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL END TABLE
A basic shelf unit (with extra storage space for office and crafts supplies) doubles as a side table. A lovely coverlet with scalloped edging lends a sweet country touch. All you need is hook-and-loop tape and a needle and thread to complete the transformation.
BEDROOM STORAGE
Built-in cabinets tuck away extra storage in this cozy sleeping nook. Customize the design to fit your needs with drawers, cabinets, and cubbies.

energy cords Releasing your energetic attachments to people can help free your authentic self, writes Bonnie Cleaver who reveals the power of cutting the ties that bind. Have you ever left a relationship, only to find you can’t get your ex out of your head? Perhaps you have a friend who you feel ‘connected’ to, but leaves you feeling drained after spending time together. Or maybe you have a harmonious relationship with your parents, but sense their beliefs and expectations still sway your decisions, even as an adult.These are just a few sign that you may have energy cords-energetic links or attachments we form with people in our lives. While they are a natural phenomenon and nothing to be afraid of, strong or multiple cords can sap our energy and pull us off balance, which is why energetic healers suggest cutting the cords regularly.
Every day, our interactions with people form invisible connections as energy is exchanged. These cords, often fade within days of being formed, however stronger cords such as the ones we share with your partner, parents, siblings, children and close friends, can last for months or even years, depending on the strength of the attachment and how emotionally ‘invited’ we are. In relationship, cords function almost like cables transmitting energetic signals.
How are energy cord created?
61 “They may unknowingly tap your energy because they have run out of their own, or constantly want to offload on you about their day.” Cords can also tie us to belief systems, particularly those of our parents, which manifest in adult life in our habitual ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.
Sensing the connections
Sometimes it can be an equal exchange of energy, but more often one person is dependent on the other. “This can be quite draining, especially if you are corded to a very dramatic or hyper-person,’ says Paul Fenton-Smith, founder of the Academy of Psychic Sciences.
Clarivoyants and healers are often able to see, feel or sense energy cords some may appear as fine strands of wool, other thicker than tree trunks. They are commonly connected to the solar plexus where we store emotion, although can be links anywhere in the auric or parts of the body. Fenton-Smith describes a workshop he held where one lady complained of a chronically sore neck. “I had the students in the class to scan her neck for an energy cord, then write down their impressions. When they read them aloud, everyone had linked the cord to a fisherman, which the lady identified as her grandfather. She spent the next few months cutting the cords and her neck pain went a
ways.”
It also frees you up to be your authentic self Physical symptoms or so you’re not constantly illness that doesn’t seeking their approval respond to standard or worrying you’re not treatments or persists good enough.” despite a healthy lifestyle Some of the most vital are one sign of energy cords to cut are those cords may be if you’re that we have with our feeling tired, drained parents. “Many of our or lacking clarity about limiting beliefs and your life, have insecurities such as obsessive thoughts ‘there’s never enough about a person or feel money’ or ‘you have to you’ve lost your sense get angry to get your of self in a relationship,” own way’ are inherited say pranic healer Jan from our parents, so Rowan. cutting the cords can help release us from the negative When should programming we repeat cords be cut? in our everyday lives,” explains Rowan.

GALAXY TAB
After spending the last couple of days with the Galaxy Tab, we can confidently say it’s the best Android tablet on the market. Now, that’s not saying much given the state of the Android competition, but we can also assuredly say that the Tab is the first true competitor to Apple’s iPad. Its crisp display, compact form factor, touch-friendly software and dual cameras undoubtedly have what it takes to win over the average tablet seeker.
EVIEW
However, we still have some reservations right now. Google hasn’t yet provided any direction on Android as a tablet platform, which means that the Tab is held back by lagging application support and software that doesn’t fully take advantage of the extra screen real estate. Remember, that when the iPad launched many developers were already working on tablet specific apps and Apple had an iPad app store in place. Put simply, without that
ecosystem and support from Google, Samsung is left to its own devices -literally. Just today Samsung rolled out an emulator for the Tab that uses the Android SDK and the company says it’s working with Google and plans to use future iterations of Android, so we’ll have to see what happens -- but for now it looks like the saga of the Samsung Galaxy Tab still has several chapters to go. Price $850 US dollar, at Hakse mobile shop.
MacBook
AIR REVIEW (Late 2010) Make no mistake about it, the new MacBook Airs are very good laptops. What they lack in speed and power, they make up for in build quality and big time battery life. Add to that gorgeous displays, solid state storage, and the unquestionably stable OS X, and the concoction makes for a nearly irresistible offering... provided you’ve got the cash. When it comes to the 11.6-incher, it’s hard to see it as our main laptop (emphasis on our): it’s a
great companion for bed, the TV, and short trips, but it’s not quite enough to take the place of our MacBook Pro. The 13-inch, on the other hand, may have just enough juice to become a lot of people’s one and only; it was consistently surprising to us during our testing. In terms of price and performance, there is still a discrepancy from where Apple is compared with the rest of the industry. For instance, you can scoop up the excellent Lenovo
ThinkPad Edge 11 for about half the price of the cheapest Air, there are powerhouses like the Alienware M11x in the market, and Dell is whipping out models like the Inspiron M101z. Still, it’s hard to deny that the fit, finish, lower pricing, and overall performance of the new Airs makes them desirable and imminently usable laptops, and for many, that’s going to take the sting out of the Apple tax. Price from $1,069 US dollar, at iOne Center.

Nintendo SAYS NO Wii PRICE CUT COMING IN ‘NEAR FUTURE,’ MIGHT WANT TO RE-THINK THAT Remember the halcyon days of motion gaming? When the Wii was selling to everyone and everyone’s grandmother in such huge volumes that Nintendo couldn’t keep up? That time is long-past and, after the most recent disappointing earnings report from Nintendo (which isn’t the first), people are beginning to ask the obvious question: when is the thing getting cheaper? For $200 gamers can now choose between a shiny new Xbox 360
or a Wii, and while crimson bundles might help, a price cut would help more. That’s not coming soon according to President and CEO Satoru Iwata, saying: “we cannot say [a Wii price cut] will never happen, but we are not thinking of it for the near future.” So, when? Well, the last time he said it wasn’t getting a price cut that’s exactly what it got five months later. Maybe March, then?

‘Wired’
MOUNT NOW FOR INTERNET, READY FOR STARBUCKS
TeliaSonera subsidiary Ncell has just completed installation of a 3G base station at 5,200 meters (17,000 feet) that will reach the 8,848-meter peak of Mount Everest. Mind you, we’ve already seen a cellphone call made from the world’s highest peak using a temporary base station
in a Motorola publicity stunt. This time, however, it’s permanent and faster allowing climbers to surf the internet or make 3G video calls. Why would Ncell want to build a base station in such a sparsely populated area? Because it is there.
