Apparently it's an online gallery, showing only one artwork every few days (week?). It amuses me, that you use the term 'minor improvement‘ when they swap exhibitions. I assume some would also consider this a new insight.
Do they have a _real_ health system? I doubt that the life in Cambodia is better than in Sweden. Maybe it's ok if you to go the country as US-American, but the Swedish living standard is much higher ;)
i can tell you i walked into a clinic and saw a doctor within minutes, ran bloodwork, got tested for dengue and yellow fever. in and out in 20 minutes, had my results the next day. that cost $45. everything was clean and sterile, needles came from packages, went into biohazard boxes.
also, i walked into a pharmacy and bought a round amoxicillin without the need for a prescription. i had a note from the doctor to make sure i had the right dosage. that cost me $4.
also, you can wear a t-shirt and shorts with sandals all year round. you can eat all you can fit inside your body for less than $10 a day ($3 if you eat local food). you can visit some of the world's largest and most amazing ruins as well as some of the world's last undeveloped paradise islands.
Their landline broadband connections are quite horrible actually, often below 2Mbps. However, funnily enough, their HSDPA coverage is quite good, fast and not too expensive ($5 for each 2GB).
Quality of life is all in the head. There isn't an easy way to measure this. I'm guessing that he was very happy in Cambodia as he chose that location over many others he probably could have lived in.
The health care system in third world countries in Asia are fine for the basics, but you wouldn't want to go through something like emergency heart surgery there. ;)
Though, this depends on where you are actually located. There are a lot of areas in S.E. Asia which have become locations for medical tourism and I imagine you could get decent care in those places. You better have the money though. In the Philippines they won't let you leave the hospital until you have paid your fees. You often have to pay partially up-front as well. When I went to a hospital to treat a broken wrist, I had to go back through town in a bumpy (ouch!, ouch!, ouch!) pedicab to pull money from an ATM. Oh, and you can only pull out the equivalent of $230 / pay / card at the ATM's there. So, if your fees are higher than that, then you might need to stay multiple days just so that you can pull enough out of the ATM.
