How do you fill your day

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.

You're in Saudi.

One wrong step and everyone will beat your back.

What's for dessert?

You know what dessert I'd like? Sherry trifle. Australian style, not UK style.

Don't laugh, I'm in Saudi...

And all of this is while I also fuck around on CEO throughout the day...



Work week (which happens to be Sunday-Thursday:

Wake up around 11am.

Eat breakfast real fast in my hotel.

Catch a taxi to work by around noon.

Sneak off campus for lunch. Often a huge vegetarian meal which includes bowls of random things that look like hummus, babaganush, etc, and huge pita breads. All for $1.25.

Teach about 3 hours.

Then catch a taxi home around 6PM.

Realize that I'm way to far away from Pontoon.

Go off into the dark, looking for exotic food. Try to round up some new buddies that I work with if I can.

Typically find random middle eastern food, but it really ranges..

Come home. Get pissed off that my Chromecast doesn't get along with my router better.

Download some garbage with the 25Mbps connection when I should be at the neighborhood gym.

Drink a few fake beers for fun.

Also live with my American buddy I've known for 7 years, and he's quite the cook. So if I'm not out in the streets eating, I'm stuffing my face here at home.

I still have a lot of random organizing I have been busy with getting my life in order again, so messing with that a lot.

Then off to bed.

Weekends (Thursday night-Saturday):

Being a dry country, there ain't much to do, LoL. Had some Saudi buddies take me out last Thursday night. Went to malls. Drove down the nice strips. Um, that's it.

Went to the mall again yesterday with some buddies. Costa Coffee. They do have practically every brand name you can think of out here, for clothes and food.

Just woke up today, and here is breakfast:

Surf n turf baby! !

I might get out of the house. A few areas I still need to see.



It sounds boring here, but it's just what I need, after living too crazy for over 5 years straight in Cambodia! Miss it, but this is definitely good for me, LoL...

I want to go out and find a shisha/hookah lounge later today! Sounds scary.... :thumb:

To get the best out of your chromecast you'll either need to root it so you can change the DNS settings on the device or change the DNS on your router to a smart DNS service (like unotelly) you'll also want to block Google DNS
