Re: are you happy in the KoW?
Of course there is, and thats why they're living in Cambodia.
Some run bars, others restaurants, business's of all sorts.
Just because your level viewpoint rests with ladyboys, skanks, and general lowlifes, don't mean that's the same for others, at least not so much....

Saigonjacket is a typical example of "Frog in the well" syndrome.

Now hes glued to the barstool I soksan rd getting with drug addict hookers drinking 20 beers a day smoking him self stupid on a downspiral going nowhere fast.
Point being is there something in the water here that just fucks people up completely?

Re: are you happy in the KoW?
My other post not withstanding, I can say as they say down in my neck of the woods in Dixie, "H'aint been so happy since the pegs up and et my baby brother."
Translation for Yankees and others.
"I haven't been so happy since the pigs ate my baby brother."
Translation for Yankees and others.
"I haven't been so happy since the pigs ate my baby brother."
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

It could be the hangovers and the bad food.Barang chgout wrote: ↑Mon Jul 31, 2017 7:18 am I think it's not the water, it's the other cockhead tourists ( insert name) , who think they know Cambodia and continually bitch about it and how it's shit........

This. Plenty of hard-working foreigners in Siem Reap, but you won't find them on Sok Sang at 5 am......Just because your level viewpoint rests with ladyboys, skanks, and general lowlifes, don't mean that's the same for others, at least not so much....

Re: are you happy in the KoW?
With all due resect AM, I think you protest too much. Do you reckon it's around one or two percent that aren't doing what the OP suggests? Actually to add my pov, it's not as many as 98%,. A lot of people, not sure of % but I see the expat ghosts around from time to time which I recognize as being kindred spirits, don't drink, don't use hookers,, but mainly stay at home bored to tears, and so join dodgy inet forums to entertain ourselves. We often get found dead in our apartment after years working here. LolAnchor Moy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 30, 2017 9:20 pm @OP Are you happy OP ? You are not in the KOW anymore are you ? But are you any happier than before ? Some people are not happy anywhere. I don't think you can blame a country for your personal level of happiness.
It's been said before, but it's not true that all Cambodian expats live on barstools in Siem Reap. That may be your Cambodian experience, but you should stop imagining that everyone is like you.Enough said. Most of us don't have this problem, and if we do, then we know that it's not Cambodia that is at fault if we are wasted on Soksan Rd at 5am. Your choice.my decisions changed about living back in SR when I saw a new breed of barangs hanging on soksan rd at 5am drinking the flat, warm leftover dregs and fighting over the last rancid ladyboy / sketchy hooker in the bar.
Don't you see how ridiculous it is to be complaining about your own choices, when you are so privileged to even have a choice. Nobody is forcing you to hang out with 'rancid ladyboys' and cheap barangs in shitty bars. And even worse, you bitch about them.
Some posters here don't have a choice about living in Cambodia anymore, but they suck it up and make the best of what they've got. They make a life.That's what adults do.
You probably don't understand what I'm saying so never mind.
BTW, the answer to the OP question is yes. Mostly, but not always, just like IRL. Sometimes good, sometimes not
For some reason, and it's not money, I always buy six month visas instead of the whole year. So I guess I'm happyish, but realise there may be more to life. I'm not stuck here though. I like TBs post because, as he said he is kinda stuck, but he's one of the few people here that you will find being honest about it.
