New Cambodian Dialect - Afrikaans

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.

Can you explain why you think that white South Africans should have preference for immigration procedures to enter Australia ahead of the rest of the world ? :unknown: And if you believe that, then you must think that the new South African immigrants are a good thing for for your adopted country of Cambodia also. So, yay. all good, no ?

Situation is what it is, I guess. White South Africans are leaving in droves. Seen areas in rural VN where they seem to form the majority of the expat community. Many try and get out as soon as they leave high school.

I hear tragic stories from clients every day and I have to switch off from them and focus on being part of the solution.

One family I know was attacked in their home on a Saturday afternoon.
The wife was raped by several men in the next room while dad and the kids were held at gunpoint. They had threatened to rape the little girl and the mother begged them to take her instead.
The next day at church they thanked God that they were still alive.

This was not a rare occurrence, I hear stories like these all the time. Every South African knows someone who has been attacked, raped or killed. That’s not an exaggeration.

People are afraid and desperate for a better future for their children, many of whom suffer from PTSD.

Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.

They're bloody everywhere! It seems whenever I sit down in a bar or restaurant all I hear is Afrikaans being spoken... scrolling through FB a minute ago and I see my go-to sports bar are even advertising in Afrikaans now!
Alle Suid Afrikaners kom kuier saam ons hier by All Sports Bar in Straat 172 , ons het die nuwe restaurant nou klaar..kos , bier en karaoke is op die spyskaart.

So almal is welkom..

Hoop ons sien julle gou..
Scary thing is, most of these Saffers are working as teachers! Gonna have a city full of kids running around speaking in a hideous hybrid Cambodian/Sth African accent :shock:

It appears Cambodia doesn't want them staying long term, as Immigration are continually denying E-type Visas on Arrival to them, and instead issuing them with Tourist VOA's.


:stir:




On the bright side, at least theres plenty of tasty biltong available to buy around town now. :thumb:
It could be worse, they could be Filipino “English” teachers. Stone the crows! :stir:
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."
