Re: are you happy in the KoW?
once back in the 60's fucked out of my head on acid, had a great discussion with a few close fiends on the difference between
happiness and
contentment
we agreed, most people get to the point of being content ( i think Taa is one..no disrepect ) with their lives, but few experience happiness over any extended period of time.
happiness comes and goes in spurts
There are times i was truly happy, but they never lasted

I'm coming to the conclusion that happiness is any time one is not hurting/ feeling shit.

Re: are you happy in the KoW?
Yes, I'm happy with my life here. It has its ups and downs of course (how fukn boring would life be if it didn't?), but far more good times then bad times. I haven't truly experienced depression since I moved here and that black dog used to hound me far to often in Oz. I have a good woman by my side, a good job, good friends and an interesting life that has been full of opportunities that simply wouldn't have been available to me in Australia.
Yes, I probably drink a bit to much, but I managed to leave my hard drug habits back in Oz, so overall the drinking doesn't bother me too much.
There is an old truism trapper - "Life is what you make it". To many people don't get that the emphasis in that statement has to be on the "YOU".
BTW, there are some truly wonderful people in S/ville, you just have to meet them and you won't do that at 5 in the morning anywhere in the world.

Very possible:-) Much more likely than finding me on a bar stool.
Re: are you happy in the KoW?
I am so grateful for our life in Cambodia - I run a successful business online, and have a fabulous social life.
I love that it's unpredictable - you can plan to go for BBQ ribs on the beach and end up eating rice soup at 5am after a night that included everything except ribs on the beach lol!
Things seem far more chaotic, yet life is far easier and simpler. You can find someone to help with anything you need done.
And more importantly I've got some fantastic friends -I feel more at home here than anywhere I've ever lived as an adult.
