How's your New Year ?

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've got to give cooking a go mate. Once you start getting it right, you'll never go back. At least that's how it was for me.

Before then I used to only eat noodle cups and Mountain Dew as a teenager. Now I can have pretty much anything I want made exactly the way I like with ingredients I trust. No more dealing with the trots, much less money, and the food tastes great. All around win as far as I'm concerned. Also a hell of a lot of fun if you like being adventurous.

Helps you score with the ladies as well.

I know the basics, I just forget when I go shopping. I went to get brocolli beef stuff, I forgot sugar and corn starch. So I ended up making steak and toast.

I agree. I get takeaways or eat out a lot, but that's not really practical over the long-term. Sometimes it's a drudge, but I quite enjoy cooking other times. I like having control over the results.

Sihanoukville is not particularly crowded either. Lying on my bed with my laptop. Just fixed a bug in a remote system. Nothing unusual today.

Absolutely jam packed in Temple Town. The bus too 1 hour to go from Phsar Leu to the bus station, that is only about 3 kilometers. They were supposed to have finished all the new bridges before the New Year but obviously didn't.

More or less doing nothing but enjoying the show out here. It's a lot like last year only louder. Massive traffic on the main highway,lots of young yard apes hurrying to the local wat to drink, dance and fight. Already had one fight between two gangs. No police this year they called in the military, but the soldiers were drunk and perhaps deliberately ineffective.

Learned a new idiom at the market yesterday. "gnor khtouille" . Gnor usually means shiver and the last word means butt. It was said by an old lady at the market who was disgusted at the way young village girls were dancing. Only one possible translation for this: to shake your booty.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

I like the sound of "shiver butt". Seems appropriate.
