why did you leave home?

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.

why did you leave home?

Post by phuketrichard »

Came across this written by Philip Caputo, ( who was in the featured in the Vietnam war tv series, in the army and latter a writer)
it really hit home to me

"Some guys keep moving because they're curious. They've got to see the other side of the hill. Some guys like variety, but Greene, he was always on the move because he was miserable inside. Guess he's settled down now that he is an old man, but back than, he was afraid of what he might do if he ever stopped moving or maybe he was afraid he'd have to face something about himself he didn't want to face"
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
