The Coffee Saga

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.

It's always good to have a laugh at Vlad's expense, great story with no puns. :thumb: In fact perhaps it was a conspiracy to prevent Vlad from posting any puns as he cannot function without his morning coffee. :coffee:

Hey Vlad, as a South African how do you have your coffee?
Black or superior?

Not at all, always preferred coffee like my women: black and strong.

I got turned on to filter coffee by a beautiful French lady by the name of Sophie, whose family ran Le Petit Paris, a cafe on Greenmarket Square in Cape town's CBD.

My favourite is either (French) Boncafe, which Hagar prepares perfectly, or Trung Nguyen, a Vietnamese brand
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)

Yes, you must be right, Khmers are known for their brilliant listening skills.

How's the lawsuit against the sperm bank going for crappy DNA? :lol:

Someone crapped in your dna? makes perfect sense now...

I like to think I speak Khmer at an upper intermediate level, can read and write at an intermediate level, have lived in Cambodia for 12 years, own a café manage my staff in Khmer, married to a Khmer and we communicate in Khmer...and sometimes it's hard for me to order at first go an "iced coffee with milk"
That phrase in Khmer is a bit of a tongue twister and a good test of your pronunciation.
