Re: Thinking of moving to Cambodia

There's not much writing work to be had in Cambodia but you can freelance online - and thus work for anyone, anywhere and there's plenty of that available from Cambodia.

Re: Sihanoukville Vs Siem Reap?

Lol. There's a certain pro-Sihanoukville bias on this forum. Me, I hate beaches. Hate them. I like swimming pools but sod getting sand in everything you own and pretending that it's enjoyable.
