15 FEBRUARY 2019 - SIHANOUKVILLE, CAMBODIA: Chinese construction workers in Sihanoukville walk through their housing area on the way to lunch. The workers live in prefabbed units made in China and stacked atop each other like shipping containers. There are about 80 Chinese casinos and resort hotels open in Sihanoukville and dozens more under construction. 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.
