Fact of the day

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

Sailing club is a resort by the sea own by the westerner. It is nice actually, however paying 4 dollar for big bottle of water and 3 dollar for a can of Cambodia beer is really expensive. Not to mention food is also really expensive.

We went there because they have a beach volleyball court and playing beach volleyball is the main activity that we all came for. Good thing was that we didn't have to pay for the court.
haha i love cambodian logic, reminds me of when a group of 10 of us went to the infinity swimming pool at some resort up at the top of the mountain/hill in sihanoukville, we asked if we could use pool, and they said sure, but it will cost $4 each, but if we bought $40 worth of alcohol then we could use the pool for free...
so if we just use the pool it will cost us $4 each = $40
if we buy $40 alcohol the pool will be free $40÷10 = $4
so we could either just use the pool for $4 each,
or pay the same amount and get $40 of free alcohol + the Pool... :beer3:
It is different, there is no determined amount of money you have to spend in order to be able to play at the volleyball court. Everyone can play even though you just buy a can of beer from that resort. We all felt it would be so inappropriate, if all of us 11 people, playing there then didn't buy anything from there. So we decided to have lunch there.

However the place is really nice, but the foods were really disappointing.
but if they were to rent the court out to you privately it probably would have come to a similar total as to what you all spent there anyway..

Corn Flakes Were Invented as Part of an Anti-Masturbation Crusade

Kellogg developed a few different flaked grain breakfast cereals—including corn flakes—as healthy, ready-to-eat anti-masturbatory morning meal. http://mentalfloss.com/article/32042/co ... on-crusade

If your losing interest in sex, maybe its time to check your breakfast. :lol:

I once peed in Victoria Falls, next to a "beware of crocodiles" sign.

We were 11 people and some didn't really eat at all. The bill was 125 dollar. I think we would pay less if we just rented the court.

Today I went to one of my favorite vegetarian food. I forgot that I had no small money note in my wallet. I only had one one hundred dollar note. Guess what I waited almost 20 minute to get my change. My money was passed from one person to another to check the authenticity of my money. :(

Where it gets ridiculous is when they start checking 1-Dollar notes.....

that was what my point was, you pay a high price for the food and drink to cover the costs of the "free" court

It's amazing how offended they get when you start checking the change they give you back...
