Foreigner loses the plot on Pub Street

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.

Siem Reek has its fair share of shit news...
that Belgian Peadophile...
the girl that was beheaded in that guesthouse...
oh and them 2 expats that beat and robbed that english teacher that were also "top blokes"...
:popcorn:
Actually the worst news out of SR was a Khmer guy who killed 3 children in January.

Having worked for tomato guest house in battambang I can assure you that the barang NGO helpers are the snobbiest prudent barang women I have ever come across they may look hot but damn they have attitude to go with it.

Near 99% of French in battambang have serious attitude problems too , almost seems they forget the country is no longer colonized by France.

You haven't been to ARTillery Cafe then :D . Full of Muesli-eating, gluten-intolerant, vegan NGO volunteers that attack Yoga with a passion. The reason I avoid this place....
Did you see in bondi hipsters in there?

Just one of their many faults.
Their colonial system was infinitely inferior to our great Commonwealth, which continues to prosper.

I'm not seeing this, and nobody else has mentioned it either.
I think it might have something to do with the influx of money and the gentle push to get rid of the locals who have made the place their home.
It's local people who have all this money, and who own the vast majority of property. They aren't going anywhere.
I don't see that either, I have lived in PP for 20 years in pretty much every area. I go out most nights and certainly don't find the place in any way menacing, as it could be occasionally back in the '90's.There are plenty of nice places to live now (western style condos etc) and the majority are owned or rented by Khmer. In my condo for example, most of my neighbors are reasonably well off Khmer. Also the number of restaurants, wine bars and clubs have really mushroomed in the last year, making Phnom Penh a great place to be out at night. A large part of the clientele are also Khmer, which wasn't the case 20 years ago.
from what i was reading earlier the Grinch had a point...
"around 3,500 families, which is the equivalent of 17,500 people, have been forcibly evicted form their homes surrounding Boeung Kak Lake since August 2008"
"Since 1990 approximately 11 percent of the population of Phnom Penh have been evicted from their homes or relocated to places that lack infrastructure and access to public goods."

Something like that. Pretentious little fcuks. I like to eat healthy but I do not make a effing religion out of it. And if I ever looks as miserable as some of these cnuts, it'll be back to fast food and any other shit I can cram down my throat.

NGO women are divided in to two groups; hot wide eyed students who are there for voluntourism, or dumpy women who are 65 in their late 20s and hate all men who visit Cambodia because "sex tourism boo hoo".

Pretty much sums it up. Or give you dirty looks because you venture out with your girlfriend and her two kids. Makes me a sex tourist AND a pedophile. And that is before I crack open a beer.

They often have this strange expression that's somewhere in between looking frightened and being utterly disgusted.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
