7 Reasons Why You Really Shouldn’t Move to Cambodia

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.

I've not read Gav's articles recently, but I did get a good laugh out of them at the time. He writes in a easy to read humourous fashion which I quite like. Unless you have the comprehension skills and local experience as a lens to view his writing it could easily be taken as offensive.

There are always some cutting truths therein and some hard earned insights into the scene here. Occasionally I roll my eyes at some comments made, but realise that we walk different paths.

I think some that might be offended just don't like seeing their reflection in some of Gav's writing.

It's about time you wrote some more.

Also, Felgarkarb - bout time you did some writing - please.

I only eat western superior food, but these damned people insist on liking their own culture, very strange.

បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Oh, wow, so sorry, vlad is too stupid to play that card, only paidguruforembassies .com knows all.

The same dwarf, yes, I get it.

Happy, now, intellectualembassyguru.com?

Q: What's the difference between a narcissistic businesman and a whore?

A: There's a difference? I'd say the whore has better morals

Correct.
