Introduce Yourself

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.

Welcome to CEO!

How much did it cost him?
Beer and bacon. Lifetime supply.

Hi everyone,

I just found CEO and am so happy. I sometimes feel a bit disconnected from my culture and over the last couple of years I feel like I want to learn more about myself and my roots, not only from my parents but also in interacting with people who might also have been raised in another country, with a different culture and different habits. I just want to talk to people and share my experience. I was born and live in Germany and besides my Family I don't know any Khmer people in Germany, especially not my age. I am half German half Khmer and luckily, have been raised bilingual, but I never learned how to read and write properly Khmer. Now I'm learning to write and read and extend my vocabulary step by step since about 1 year. I have been to Cambodia many, many times when I was I kid. Now, seeing you guys here and reading about your experiences and opinions somehow makes me really happy. Anyways, : hello.

Hi Khla !
Half-Khmer, half-German sounds interesting. So if we stereotype you, then you must be a friendly, happy-go-lucky guy who works hard and is always on time, right ? :D

lol yeah, no. Just to be clear, the" happy-go-lucky" part is for the German part, right? :D No, I am really chaotic. But happy and working towards my goals, yes. :)

So the stereo type for Khmer people is happy-go-lucky? What else do people think about Khmer? I think I found a lot of wisdom in Khmer concerning nutrition/health/well-being through my family.
