The good old days

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.

working 67.5 hours a week?! 10-12 hours a day?! to take home $1882??


That works out at just over US $21 an hour. With the added cost of living that sounds pretty lame. No wonder the guy has to survive on Bor-bor and Alexand Wisky while on holidays.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Tough crowd here. Every one says he's full of shit. He posts his payslip then they all look for reasons to give him shit still. Haters gonna hate.
