The sucky part about being an expat

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

As I gear up to take off I have these things in the back of my mind.

Sorry to hear about it. Its' definitely difficult to live halfway across the world in times like these. Just cherish the time you have with your dad and sister, make it count. Better than living nearby but not actually appreciating the time spent together.

I think sometimes we wait too long to say things we feel now

Reminds me of Clapton's song My Father's Eyes
