Re: Shit life
i have unlocked this topic because i think there is something in the way of an interesting psychological archetype going on here that could produce some interesting discussion.
many expats live here because they did not like conditions in their home country.
they imagined s.e.asia as some "golden land" before spending much time here
souvarnabhumi and it's many variants translate to "golden land"
then the realities bite.
i visited for about 7 years before i moved here. i found the people quite similar to the indonesian ppl where i lived for 4 years, so pretty familiar with the baseline malay culture.
is trapper's disappointment due to asia's non conformance to his imagined ideal?
what is the attraction?
isn't it just a self induced delusion? or is there some lingering post colonial submerged myth in the collective psyche that charms certain people into a love/hate relationship with the people of the region?

Re: Shit life
Many expats move to SEAsia to escape from something. i.e the daily grind; the ex-wife; crap weather; etc.
Trapper's problem is that he is trying to escape from himself. No matter where he goes, what he is trying to escape from just follows him.

Re: Shit life
I also visited here for a number of years and made the decision to move here a few years ago. I have seen changes from what I first encountered and have suffered a diminished income but it is my choice to be here. no one is holding a gun to my head to stay and I am free to come and go if I wish to.
We make choices in life , we either are happy or not but they are our choices.
If you don't like it here .........go home.
If you want to survive here change with the changes that happen.
I would like to get another job but I just have to learn to live on less......

Re: Shit life
well i am not so sure. the desire to optimize one's life is strong.he is trying to escape from himself
reconciling the conditions in diametrically opposed societies is maddening.
he can respond shortly when his ban expires. hopefully in a cogent fashion.
he is kind of an exemplar.

Re: Shit life
sorry to hear youre not enjoying anywhere
id not dare to judge your situation but I do find talking here money & there money pointless as economies are different globally
should I get annoyed goods & services cost me10-90% less across asia too?
I hope you find what you are seeking somewhere
maybe youre looking for neverland ?

curious why u STILL defend him?
he is a typical, never satisfied individual, an I for one am tired of all his ,"I hate this, cant get laid, cant find a job , i make $xxxx/month in Australia" (fucking stay there) etc ...
Seems to think cause he is white an has a bit of cash, the locals will accept him

Re: Shit life
Seriously if you wanted but didn't get laid for 7 months that's surely because you didn't try? I could get laid every day if I was interested (but I'm saving myself lol). Don't let such a thing bring you down. Look at all the good things here man! I never visited Cambodia before I started living here, just came here on a whim some years ago and decided to stay here, sure there are things that bother, annoy or scare me here but there are just as many or more good things here. Don't reflect your own poor life decisions on Cambodia!Beerinthemorning wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2018 1:37 am east asia sucks
