SEA is boring

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.

Guess what?
Everywhere sucks when you hate yourself.
Guess what too?
Just because you suck at life and can't get any enjoyment anywhere doesn't mean that others are as lame and sad as you are.
Guess what three?
You'll be back on here repeating the same sorry lines in no time. You are on a different planet, one I never want to visit.
It's funny how BKKTrapper, with all his years living in Cambodia garbage, has never actually met anyone here.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Jamie seems to get a lot out of life here. He loves the music, the language etc. But i bet even he would be fucking amazed at the equivalent​ in somewhere like Kenya. Open people, wild clubs and bars, beautiful parks in the cities, good architecture, great music and colours everywhere etc.
Then again maybe he's already been? It's a lot more dangerous in some ways, but a lot less hastle in many others. I travel to learn. In Africa I learnt more in a year and a half, than I've done in SEA in almost seven years. Anything much I've learnt here has mainly been from books etc. Second hand info. It's a personal thing though, I'm sure others have had completely different experiences here.
yeah i love being in SEA,
and of coarse, at times, i get bored, espesh in SHV as there isnt much to do,
but a change is as good as a break, ill just drive out to Kampot or go to PP for a week,
plus im FAR less bored than i would be back in the UK,
i rarely see or go out with my mates anymore as they are all married with kids now,
SEA always got friends, acquaintances or strangers to go out for a beer with as and when i like

no never been to Africa,
a part of me does want to check it out,
it is penciled in my to do list,
Japan is my No.1 Priority though,
i say every year im going to go, was meant to meet Gavin Mac there in May and hit a baseball game and go to the Sumo Championships,
but was still in Cambodia and then ended up going to Pattaya instead :sorry:
Japan is probably the only place id happily go round and be a tourist, so much i want to see haha
everywhere else im more of a "mingler" than someone who does "touristy things"

You prove that tourists are self-centered, shallow, narcissistic morons who are not worth pissing on. Good luck on your miserable holidays bogan.

Not a chance, he's barely literate. He should just stick to what he knows - dorms, talking to alcoholic tourists in crappy dive bars, whoremongering, shitty food and his $50,000 an hour job sweeping floors. He has it all figured. :facepalm:

Its roadworks and it pats 31 an hour and yes most dive bars in KoW are rubbish plus the food in KoW is crap.
Im over the border now because atleast thai food is edible and the bars serve way better beer that doesnt give the DTs like rubbish khmer beers.
