What's New ,since last May?

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.

Good, hopefully he stays there and stops boring us with the same tedious crap he has bored 440 with for years.
You're only tolerated on here because of the liberal's 'let's be nice to hobbits' policy.

You do know that smoking in most places in public is already illegal?

Don't think I forgot anything ?

I think you forgot mangoes grow on trees. Although, maybe the Chinese have figured out how to manufacture them cheaper?
You could be next.

Too much to say. Half the town and the beach has been bulldozed for Chinese casinos and businesses. Cambodians and foreigners alike are getting thrown out of their homes and businesses. Everyone's moving to Kampot, but that's futile because Kampot's next on the Chinese to-do list.

Do a forum search for 'Sville totally fked' or something similar. There are dozens of threads on the subject. One of them is called something like "Chinese takeover." Off the top of my head, I read somewhere that 80,000 Chinese nationals relocated to Sville last year - or in the first seven months or something. Giant skyscrapers are growing like mushrooms. Just to give you some idea.
It sounds grossly exaggerated but unfortunately it's not.
