What are your thought?
Two thoughts here...

In Cambodia your movement would have been limited just the same.

I think it’s a bit pathetic to run back to the safety of your home country and then start complaining if it lasts longer than you want.
Not really, movement is barely limited here (if at all). Way more limiting in most western nations.

That being said, I agree that the OP should have just not been a little bitch and run to momma and poppa in the first place. Bit rich to run to free health care and paychecks and then complain here.

I guess it depends on the level you look at travel limitations. Can I travel around Cambodia freely - yes I can. But I'm reluctant to travel long distance on crowded buses or vans, so that kind of limits me. International travel has been out of the question for 9 weeks now, with no end in sight.

My movement has been pretty limited because of the latter. So far I missed a funeral, and I will miss a wedding in three weeks time. Two business trips have been cancelled.

Currently in my home country there are more travel opportunities than there are in Cambodia.

Might be true depending where you come from, but in general, international travel is almost dead regardless of where you live.

I've been travelling all over Cambodia. I've done 1500km+ in the past six or seven weeks. Sure, it's lot like I'm vacationing in Bali, but it's easy to get around. Friends back home on motorbikes are being aggressively talked to for "spreading the virus", not being in their neighbourhood, and so on... Most of my family members have barely left their houses/apartments in two months, so it definitely depends where you are I guess.

I only leave my apartment in Australia to buy food, from what I'm told by my friends in PP their movement isn't really restricted at all.

By choice?

I'm in Cambodia now, and international travel is simply a no go from here. Choices are extremely limited and prices are insane. For instance, a one way ticket home will set me back about 1.400 USD one way on selected dates only. Leaving would mean closing the door to Cambodia for an unknown period of time. I don't want that, so I decided to sit the pandemic out in Cambodia.

But, I don't like being stuck in Cambodia, so far I had to cancel two business trips, wasn't able to attend a funeral and I will miss my father's wedding in three weeks time. So even though I'm free to move around Cambodia I still feel very limited. I guess it depends on the level you look at freedom.

Within Europe a lot of international travel is still possible, but most people self limit themselves because they're scared to catch the virus.

The days when you could show up in Vietnam from England and get a visa on arrival are gone - probably forever. Governments love control and covid is a great way of smuggling in all sorts of restrictions that they can justify with "it is for your own good."

Glad to be middle aged and I got to be a young man in a period of awesome social freedoms let put it that way.

Vietnam just has announced that it will issue e-visas to 80 countries, including the UK.

I went because my apartment that I rented to a couple from China was empty and I lost my logistics job in the space of a week.
I actually financially support my Momma and my Poppa is dead

Trolling by some older members who assume too much and insult others.

Bitte_Kein_Lexus · Post by **Bitte_Kein_Lexus** » Wed May 27, 2020 6:57 pm

Of course I'm trolling, but no more than the OP is. He willingly went back and now complains he feels it's restricted in his daily activities. Now he's done a 360 and says "who's complaining". Well, you are/were...
