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.

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

Crazy: any kind of behavior outside social norms.

For example, a Khmer might say a foreigner riding a giant off-road bike is "crazy."

Or a foreigner might say a person living a simple, humble, and very Buddhist life is "crazy."

To further complicate the diagnosis of crazy are multiple social norms.

Norms are vastly different for Khmer, Germans, Viets, French, Chinese, or garden-variety Westerners.

I may do "crazy" things since I feel I'm more advanced in certain fields (I feel I drive better than most), I am capable of getting away with things most people can't (language skills help), and I post on the Internet hoping people will understand.

Ok, ok, on the last part I am crazy to expect people to understand me on the Internet. You got me there, Anchor Moy.

He's ok! He stated clearly before that It was right for Americans to own guns in America and as an Australian I concur. Otherwise, apart from war, how are we going to control your population....?

Thanks, B. Chgout.

Population controls itself. Disease, disinterest, etc. I have a philosophical approach to life I've learned over the years.

What must, will be. The rest, falls by the wayside.

Ok, I read a lot of Lao-Tzu when I was younger.

In summary, "Be mellow. Chill out. Unclench. Worry not. Only worry about yourself."

And yes, I like JDM's writing, too, Phooked Richard.
