About Me

My photo
Stan Kahn
I'm a writer currently living in Cambodia. In addition to this blog about politics, economics and society, I have a blog entitled stanscambo.blogspot.com which covers articles about Cambodia. I've also written a novel - entitled Y3K - that's part sci-fi, part hippie counterculture, part ecotopia and more. More recently I've published a personal memoir, A Hitchhiker's Tao, Thumbing Your Way to Enlightenment. It's based on my extensive hitching experience. You can learn more about both at my website - www.tripeast.com
