Re: Have you ever seen Cambodian backpackers?
It did indeed turn nasty quickly, however, old dogs are wise.
Many of us have traveled throughout the post colonial world, even to dangerous places perchance.
There is a lesson in these criticisms for the young sprat if he will but clean the murk from his eyes.
Here is a tip young feller: everything you think you know is wrong.
When one listens to conventional wisdom of those failed aspirants who do nothing but receive the excuses of the failed as tacit wisdom, one automatically joins the tribe.
To tell us old hands it is thus and so, is appallingly ignorant.
You want to get a grip or you will remain a big frog in a very small pond rather than attaining your true potential.

Re: Have you ever seen Cambodian backpackers?
To be clear, they are not Cambodian. I don't have any Cambodian friends in Australia. I personally think that it is good to have friends living in places you want to visit. They will not only your tour guide but they will also give you place to sleep. I managed to stay in Singapore for four days and i spent only 100 USD. Note, i was on the flyer too which was really expensive and also had drink on Marina Sand Bay. Why i managed to spend less money travelling in Singapore, because i have friend living there. i stayed at my friend apartment. I would do the same thing, if i manage to visit Australia.Duncan wrote:Why do you need to go to a place where you have friends. They will only take you to '' Khmer '' places and eat Khmer style foods etc.
Do you think all the barangs that come here, came because they had friends here ?
Do something daring in your life, something new, where you make the decisions not your friends.
You do have friends in New Zealand and all around the world ,,, It's just that you have not met them yet, and never will because you are locked into meeting your friends friends.

Yes, most of the things in Singapore are man-made, however i am not travelling to Singapore to see mountains, waterfall or island. I just want to see how develop Singapore it. If i want to see those things i can just stay in Cambodia. We have all of them. You actually can't imagine how i felt walking on really clean roads and sitting in the metro in Singapore. Deep down in my heart, i wish Cambodia could be this organised and i was really impressed with the public transportation.bolueeleh wrote:70% of stuffs in singapore is man made, plasticky, expensive and soul less, i know coz im singaporean, once is enough, you wont miss much.Samouth wrote:Maybe what i am looking for in travelling is not the same as yours.

Sure it's clean but mega boring and people are social retards who think they can afford to be a snob because they work for 7 dollars an hour before tax.

Re: Have you ever seen Cambodian backpackers?
My guess is they are to busy trying to organize a rubbish collection service in Cambodia to work on a public transport system at the same time. But it will happen one day .Samouth wrote:When I said like Singapore,bkktrapper wrote:Why you wanna be like Singapore?

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Have you ever seen Cambodian backpackers?
I made a long post but..... the original backpackers were the hobos of the 30-50's. Than came guys like neil cassady and jack kerouac
I was one in the 60's.
True backpackers dont know where they are going and for sure dont go to stay at friends houses, ( i didn't know anyone that had a place when i travelled) lol
What those out there now, are unknown to us that were backpackers.
But everything evolves
Who am i, but dust in the wind
" i dont think i am a freak, but i sure do like to freak"
Ps: i wouldnt know a cambodian backpacker if i saw one. What do thet look like? How are they difernt from a farang or thai backpacker

Re: Have you ever seen Cambodian backpackers?
True backpackers are anyone who travels around anywhere carrying whatever they own in a backpack. That is the definition in it's entirety. Having some plan and knowing their destinations or not doesn't change that definition. All the other nonsense about hobos or whatever you personally did 60 years ago is also irrelevant to the definition of what a backpacker is. You make it sound like some exclusive club you belonged to and anyone else just doesn't "get it".
