12 FEBRUARY 2019 - SIHANOUKVILLE, CAMBODIA: A Chinese construction worker washes his dishes in the Chinese workers' labor camp in Sihanoukville. There are about 50 Chinese casinos and resort hotels either open or under construction in Sihanoukville. The casinos are changing the city, once a sleepy port on Southeast Asia's "backpacker trail" into a booming city. The change is coming with a cost though. Many Cambodian residents of Sihanoukville have lost their homes to make way for the casinos and the jobs are going to Chinese workers, brought in to build casinos and work in the casinos.
