Hello to each of you, my name is Aurelius,
I am happy to say that I reached Cambodia and I am healthy and powerfull enough to travel. It is a beautiful country situated very well on the Earth with beautiful beaches and landscapes. Fortunately enough the planet gave us more than enough sources of ccomfort and we can choose many other destinations and we are not obliged primary by ourselfs neither by others to stay the lenght of time we decided to stay in Cambodia, many times inflicted by the visa duration, but we can simply leave earlier towards the specific road/destination which gives us a smile deep inside ourselfs, as life is short and happiness will always have priority to frustrations. Unlucky for Cambodians they had a bad history which envolved people of their own killing other people of their own and not enemyes from other countries invading them. Maybe hate was one of the feelings which helped them do all those things and this means there is loads of hate inside. But negligible we cross to the present and we can see that the lucky people left alive they are either fortunate to be so by "luck" or by the status they had, and this is bringing a big question: " What kind of people do surround you, are they the minimum smart enough to improove both you and them in a meaningful way or are they just a waste of time...
Well I would like it to be the first way but it seems that only the types of people who are under your or general standard would try so much to beg for attention, in different ways, which are not bringing benefits neither to them neither to you. One example is the way they try to convince you to use their "reputable/reliable/honest/safe/clean/inexpensive" tuktuk or motorbike. Another example comes from the way a customer is treated special if has a white skin frature by receiving a special price. Another example are the unfortunate travellers which had occured theft, scam, rudeness with low to non existent reasons, and as a proof of the visible difference of the character between Cambodians and Westeners, the related story of the Westener victim is not shout in an angry way but rather in a dissapointed sad way of having this kind of people as hosts in this country.
At the end, they deserve their life as they are the commanders of it and let's think deeper than just taking as granted the explination that corruptors are driving the country, because the corruptors are still cambodians and there is a phrase in the world and it sounds like this: " If you want to know how a man really is, put him on the throne. "
Thank you for your attention, I did read this blog and I want to give pure humanitarian and honest right to westerner's feelings of disregard towards Cambodia.

are you selling black armbands?

maybe you should help build the future instead of trying to assign blame.

you make your own luck, otherwise it is just an excuse.

crying achieves nothing except sore eyes.

while your post is almost incoherent i still have a piece of advice for you that holds true in many instances: if you don't like it- don't go there.

We are all very glad to hear you are healthy and powerful, and have made it to Cambodia safely.



Can you give us any nuggets of wisdom? What should we be doing to improve the situation here?

Ouch !

Quite a philosophical treatise for an overpriced tuk tuk and other things that local expats have learned to deal with. No matter where OP goes in SE Asia it will be the same if not worse(more expensive). I don't think I would like to live in a country where OP is on the throne.

weirdest goddamn writing style I've ever seen on a forum.

I've seen a few more bizarre, but none so intellectually pretentious.
