Anxious, apprehension, excitement, nervous . . . it’s my first time

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

That's why not
At Island Bar, the menu stated $3.50 but bill came was $4 when asked why she said they have not updated the menu prices. Fine its only 50 cents different however the honesty is really way low so no more this bar.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Yes I know, and on my first night here, I felt like a baptism or rather deflowered.

Tonight no one's gonna fark with me, I'll be a bad bad boy tonight.

That's some great stuff there @yong - you've done more in one morning to discover Cambodia than many expats have achieved here in 10 years. :thumbsup:
