Why you should not whine...

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.

Yeah, although I'm still hunting for the source. I normally tag this sort of stuff because reasons.

Here's an article specifically about Khmer women - https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/ ... -tip-study

Careful, dude, the socialist, commie, anti-Semite etc. epithets are not far away, even if they don't understand the difference between the 2 or three.

Iman Morooka, the spokeswoman for UNICEF Cambodia, confirmed the data, saying that 18 per cent of adult women in the Kingdom were overweight, compared to 14 per cent of women who were underweight.

That still puts 68% in the Golidlocks zone.

On a lighter note , Jeff Besos' wealth increased by 52 Billion last year.

This just in from the newsdesk. Carl Zuckerburg reportedly lost 16 Billion this Wednesday. So swings and roundabouts folks, swings and roundabouts.
