A fond farewell(ish).

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.

He also has to pay Samouth for doing all the CEOCambodiaNews article translations. That can't be cheap.
Another three words for a particular expat in Cambodia.

Always make speculation. :facepalm: It actually doesn't make you look smart at all. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Please don't always tell me that everything here on forum is sarcasm or irony. My ability to understand sarcasm is nothing comparable to you, but i am not clueless about sarcasm. I think i know enough to be able to tell if it is sarcasm or not. Sometime it did discouraged me to post as i was afraid that i might make some mistakes. Anyway, it is fine to make mistake since it is not my mother tongue.

I wasn't being sarcastic. Two weeks ago, everyone agreed that Raffles had taken advantage of Samouth by paying him paying him below-market wages as a waiter. Now that he's a translator, I just assumed that someone was paying him for his translation work.

I don't know what Cambodian translators charge though, I get by with pidgin Khmer bartalk.

Thanks for stopping by and made this 100 percent clear. I wasn't sure if you did meant it as Richard claimed that it was sarcasm, but i have never thought that you were being sarcastic.

To be honest, i think that you are actually clueless about that thread. I am sure that you didn't read it, otherwise you wouldn't make this utterly poor speculation. If you seriously read that thread, you would realize that i was fired by that hotel long time ago and got a job just 6 months right after that, at that time CEO wasn't born yet. FYI, i am not working for CEO, i am working for an international organization as a senior translator, but i just resigned for that NGO and ready for my new job in August.

My suggestion to you, before you make a speculation, you should gather information as much as you can, so that the result of your speculation would likely close to reality. :)

Oh, I thought you were doing all the excellent translations of Khmer news articles for CEO. Maybe another translator is doing that.

If, however, you are doing those translations, and not being paid, then I don't know why you and other posters demonize Raffles for exploiting you by only paying you $30 a month. At least it's more than zero.
