Building in Kep.

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.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

No, but the bedrooms in itself are not very big and have the suspended ceiling so should be easy to keep cool. All the flat roofs are calculated and made to support a garden on top. The first year I will see how the heat situation is and if it's difficult to keep cool I will add a garden on top of the roofs to take the heat.

Trying out some different finishes for the concrete, floors almost finished, kitchens being build, bathrooms had their first waterproofing layer, border wall made higher and old gate demolished. We're back up to speed like we were before!

We all know what your thinking rozz so forget it. I believe the bars not finished and there is no tequila on the shelf.
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.
