What are you on about now? There have been loads of them jailed here over the years.Jimmy Crow wrote: ↑Thu Jul 19, 2018 2:33 pm
Actually they are all reformed and live righteous lives,I have yet to see or hear any negative news about Khmer Americans whom were deported to Cambodia,what I have seen is great projects and programs headed by them which help and benefit the people,the idea that they still partake in forbidden activities here is irrational and judgmentally prejudice
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Whereas the wild monkeys out at Phnom Tamao will tear the baby monkeys apart if tourists only feed the babies - a la "Dian Fossey oops."Duncan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 19, 2018 1:24 pm If you had been around the Wat Phnom area a few years ago you would have seen a gang of monkeys. Upset one and they would all attack you.
I once saw a baby monkey, just a few days old fall onto the road on st 102 and a motodop picked it up. He had to run for his life as a gang of monkeys chased after him. Finally he was convinced by bystanders to give it up.

Re: What did you expect when you came to live here?
When i first came to asia i had expected there to be high speed rails everywhere and lots of clean streets, I figure there would be vending machines that would sell everything and that one would get seizures from watching TV. I figured everything would be fast, efficient, and cost effective. The police would be the law and order type and there would be government surveillance everywhere. The only negative would be the occasional Godzilla attacks. I had the belief that all the men would be computer nerds who love video games and the women would be into weird fetishes like dressing up like cats. I feel like I am in a South American city that does not speak Spanish and Portuguese, I speak Spanish and Portuguese to the Tuk Tuk Drivers when they ask me if I need to go somewhere but they never take me anywhere.
