I see how that would work
And of course don't forget buying the handgun, but as you as you get it out and point it at the thief, since it's made by the mafia, the bullet comes out backward and shoots you in the face.

You should thanks to God that you finally made it here. Now i can see that you are much and much in love with Cambodia aren't you.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

All the advice about keeping safe, watching your belongings, etc apply to everyone, not just ladies. Had 2 attempts where my phone was snatched, luckily, I hold on to it real tight if I ever take it out of my pocket and close to the road. Take heed of all the warnings and don't just wait to learn it in real life!

I saw a Korean tourist getting his phone literally snapped off his selfie stick. I'll never forget the dumb look on his face.

Don't put your phone on a stick and point it out in the road.

You resurrected a dead thread to earn a commission? Not sure whether to respect or scorn...

LoL, I think this happened because it is shown at the bottom of our latest news about a Syrian woman getting arrested in Phnom Penh. That's my guess.

I am not that cheap that I have to earn commission by recommending a place. My salary can sustain my lifestyle. You are insulting my intelligence.
