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.

Yeah, I'm the angry one, and obviously the diatribe against Khmers/anything not western is just a 'joke'. Just like the diatribe about Western dudes. Only cashed-up casino lawyers should be fit to live in Cambodia, no one else is good enough, not even the indigenous peoples.

These articles were never jokes, if you believe that you are a simpleton. They are a disguised critique that reflect what the author truly believes, end of.

The arrogance, really, and with such little justification.

You spend your time recording who died and how, digging dirt up about people, chasing cashiers and bargirls, running down other expats at every opportunity, and occasionally writing articles to express your neo-colonial attitude to anybody smart enough to see through the disguise.

Go back to Vegas, you belong there.

And other grammatical geniuses who point out typos on various forms of social media, write shockers like this on their open facebook accounts. There is (now deleted) backstory to this.....
****** ******* Steven have a new job as

****** ******* A school director

Seems like it's one grammatical rule for aging pedants and another for those who ask for a source for slightly unrealistic claims. :stir:

KS,strictly speaking, 'geniuses' is incorrect, but perhaps we can't expect you to know that.

I only exposed your terrible knowledge of English when you labelled teachers as drug-users, paedos etc.

This is interesting, because, iirc, you admitted to drug-use in the past yourself, on this very forum, right?

I have stated my policy of only being a Grammar Nazi when some idiot attempts to elevates himself at the expense of others and unwittingly makes childish mistakes to point out the irony.

I cannot be held liable for your inadequate education, nor for your persistent refusal to better your knowledge.

I believe you are a teacher, yes? Could you explain the benefits of using drugs to us? I'm sure MoEYS might be interested.

And kindly stop attempting to out me dear child, everyone knows who I am, but I do believe it's against forum rules.

Then again, perhaps you need a native speaker of English to explain them to you. LOL

Where are you from, btw?

genius
ˈdʒiːnɪəs
noun
plural noun: geniuses

No, you constantly attack posters for typos, lack of education and bad English, including myself on more than one occasion. It really is unnecessary, especially when people are firing off from their minds quickly on a keyboard/smartphone .

Yes I'm a teacher, but obviously can't make a joke about it because it is such a serious and well thought of profession in Cambodia.

'Sorry ma, sorry pa, I'm dropping out of med school to TEFL in SEA'.
'That's OK kid, make sure it's a $10p/h in Cambodia, nowhere else will cut the mustard. Make sure you don't become a washed up, bitter old has been'

Drugs, puh. You should meet some of the erstwhile colleagues I've had, you probably drink with some of them.

And I'm really not trying to out you (that photo did make me chuckle), which is why your name was **** out.

Question:

Have Richard still has his job as

A school director?


Anyway, you've said your piece, you still obviously trawl 440, and I've said mine. Can we go back to the truce, to prevent making every thread boring for others if nothing else?

I've got age on my side and you've got sheer bloody mindedness and repetition on yours. This could go on for a long time otherwise.

Again and again you constantly say I attack people, implying I do it randomly.

I ONLY do it when people like you criticise others (without proof) for the very thing that you are doing incorrectly. I've stated that, I can only assume your continued refusal to acknowledge it is either a symptom of illiteracy or a deliberate attempt to evade responsibility

The post was, 'Richard, have a new job.' Not, as you thought, 'Richard has a new job'.

You broke the truce, said your thing and now ant to end it on your terms? Sounds reasonable.

CEO can deal with you, it's not up to me.

And for someone who doesn't care, you certainly went to a lot of trouble.

Happy tripping.

"Everyone knows who I am". Sorry to disillusion you Vladimir dear boy, but I for one have absolutely no idea who you are. Don't feel bad I don't have any idea who any of the rest of them are either. :hattip:

I expect you'll survive, after the initial shock.

I could just pop in next time I'm in your area...

Members of the Phnom Penh glitterati have been threatening to drop in since 2009, none have managed to actually do it. I"m told they tend to suffer panic attacks the moment they enter Kandal Province, and have to be taken immediately to the nearest bar or piazza place to recover. Perhaps you'll be the first to actually make it. :hattip:
