wish i'd thought of that!

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

wish i'd thought of that!

Post by MrSam »

so my flight tomorrow..

I think I have everything i need.. new unlocked phone so i can put a sim card in, travel plugs for my electrical good, razors, things like that.

My question tho.. what do you wish you had taken with you when you moved across? Something that may have slipped my mind?

An iron stomach that can digest any spoiled, uncooked, or otherwise unwashed food.

An immune system that laugh at the any dozens of diseases that don’t exist out in the western world.

I normally bring a computer that I use myself while in Cambodia, and give to a student when I leave. Look for one with performance good enough to use, but cheap enough to give away. Sometimes I bring more than one.

I ride a bicycle in Cambodia. I buy bicycle lights on ebay, and bring them with me. The latest and best, are solar lights, that recharge when exposed to sunlight. The front lights also have a horn.
