Expat Talks About How Adjusting to Life in Phnom Penh Has Been Hard for Her (Travel Lush)

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.

Oh what a special little snowflake she is.... she's everything mommy and daddy said she would grow up to be.


Only problem with snowflakes is in a snow(blog)storm they all look the fucking same!

She's only been living in Cambodia since August and received a "care package" in September, which is only a month later.

I wonder if she gets one every month?

"In August 2015 we left Jakarta and moved to Phnom Penh, Cambodia.  Aaron still works as a university professor.  As for me, I’m trying my hardest to navigate life as a freelance writer.

As of now we’re still settling into our new hometown.  But I can already tell you that this year is going to be another wild ride.  Living abroad is still new to me.  After all, Phnom Penh is a far cry from both California and Jakarta.  I love living in Southeast Asia but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that it also comes with its challenges!  And yes, I do rant about it from time to time."

I picture her just stepping out of a Normal Rockwell painting of family bliss all rosy-cheeked, a smile as wide as the Grand Canyon and cup of coffee in her hand for her adorable husband going off to work.

That said: the new generation thinks that their every bowel movement is of global interest. Young people nowadays blablabla... It's boring, self-indulgent, but hardly feminist.

C'mon AM, a blog about hookers and beer with naked pictures is far more interesting than macaroni cheese :P
