Most shocking/weirdest/ stories from Tbong Khmum Province.
ruralvoice wrote:I would like to respond to this thread, but first I would like to know if the mods agree with Bds and intend to move it or leave it here. If you do move it how about a totally new thread like long term village stays by barangs or some title that has a little more quintessential pizzazz.
Anyone have a good story about barangs who stay in the wop-wops .

If you are a mod I most assuredly do not have a story about the "wop-wops" as you so condescendingly refer to them.

Ha! Start your own thread why don't you? I would love to here about people's rural experiences. Both positive and negative. Perhaps a thread for each? No, it would never work!ruralvoice wrote:If you are a mod I most assuredly do not have a story about the "wop-wops" as you so condescendingly refer to them.

What's condescending about it? Seems it's the same as when people say BFE (Bum-fucked Egypt), just meaning it's in the middle of nowhere.

Re: Most shocking/weirdest/ stories from Tbong Khmum Province.
To live in the boonies, as opposed to wop-wops, of another country is one of the most peculiar things anyone can choose to do. To make such a decision in a truly third-world nation like Cambodia is a mind-boggling moment for someone who comes from a culture which supplies endless starting advantages in life (and ongoing advantages).

Living rurally, in the countryside/province, in the wop wops, boonies, middle of bum fuck nowhere...same same, why get so worked up over terminology!

An Australian would call it '' somewhere the other side of the black stump.'' which might also be a suitable term in Cambodia now all the forests have been cut down.

I was kind of surprised to not find a pic of rural Cambodia next to the definitions.
