Okay, what's the confusion? The two Lucky's supermarkets we go to are used predominantly by foreigners, and some of the staff are rude enough to ridicule the customers in front of them while attending around idly...

I originally quoted you because you said westerners hence what kept them employed. Yes, foreigners including the wealthy Khmers are what Lucky relied on. Westerners on the other hand i.e. Barangs are minorities.

I probably didn't give it a fair chance. I worked only in East Timor and for a short while in Medan.

Worked with an orphanage outside of Medan (Balige) just down from Lake Toba for a number of years. Magic country, but they still eat each other in those parts.

Started travelling to SE Asia in 1993. Mainly Thailand, Bali once and Vietnam twice. After a while I'm getting bored with Thailand and decided to go to Cambodia in 2007. Fall in love with the place and the people. It's a little bit rough comparing to Thailand but that is one of the things I like. The poverty of Cambodia makes me humble again and realize how good my life in Amsterdam is. My goal is after my retirement (9 years, 11 months and counting) to live in summertime in Amsterdam and in wintertime in Cambodia. I now it is far away but I like the dreaming part over the future. I'm on the board to find some information and maybe meet some board members

when I'm in town. My favorite cities are Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville.
