What brought you here? What made you stay?
Re: What brought you here? What made you stay?
Long story short - jaded with life in Oz. Had decided on Indo. Broke my back at work and can't surf anymore, so there goes Indo as I couldn't stand watching people surf and not being able to myself. Came to Cambo to visit my new niece. Fell in love with Sihanoukville - the beach lifestyle but no surf to tease me.
Why I stay - great lifestyle, great relationship, good job, good friends, it's my home, why would I wan't to leave it?

For the record though, if your post is the last (meaning nobody has yet to post after you), you can DELETE your own post.
Maybe that's what happened?

Brought me here: easy visa and the internet said it was cheap.
Made me stay: how cheap it is, and how easy it is to renew my visa

Re: What brought you here? What made you stay?
I'm truly flabbergasted at the high number of peeps citing "visa" as the #1 reason for staying here. What an inane reason for choosing a place to live long-term (or for the rest of your days). All other SEA countries have visa rules that can be dealt with in some way (VN, Laos, Thailand, etc.) - mostly by getting a job or crossing the border once in awhile.
Surely the visa should be factor, but not the primary motivating one. It appears that all those people don't really have a "real engaged life" here. It's the only country that they can find that will let them stay easily. Frankly, this is astounding to me as it basically devalues all the other legitimate and valid reasons to live in Cambodia. There are myriad characteristics of Cambodia that influence me to stay here. The visa is way down my personal list.

Re: What brought you here? What made you stay?
I have to agree. I never even bothered researching the visa situation until after my first trip. I'd essentially decided to live here (or at least, try it out temporarily) before even looking into visas. Might not have been so wise, but I lucked out I guess. However, I can understand why retirees or people who do freelance work (writers, IT consultants etc) might want to narrow down their "living abroad" choices based on visa requirements.dagenham wrote:I'm truly flabbergasted at the high number of peeps citing "visa" as the #1 reason for staying here.
