Chinese zero dollar tours

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.

Now i wonder if this has something to with what seem strange to me here in Kuta with all these buses of Chinese every time i have been to a kentucky fried chicken here which has a like souvenier shop(s) next to it. And that is not even a very big shopping area.
Bali?
Chinese are the number 1 in tourism arrivals there,
way surpassed the Australians i am told

Guess it's true. Yea it would be better if they were all replaced by Australians but there is a less desirable faction of visitors than the chinese.

For the record in Bali that is somewhat innacurate statement. NOT way surpassed. The chinese are now just catching up with the Australians in number. Just barely a very few percentage more than the Australians in that year quoted.
