Expats who think they are higher up in some mind of heirachy because they live in Cambodia .
But, but I thought you were an expat?
There's nothing to do but drink beer.
Some of us actually work for a living.

Ive been in. Australia one week and have already made a Khmer's average annual salary.
Face it working in KoW is a waist of time.

I can't complain. Obviously, I don't pull in the USD 20,000 a month you make picking pineapples, but I do OK.

1. I hate both.saigonjackpot wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2017 4:32 pm Hmmmm.
Khmers using mayonnaise instead of cheese.
Horrible beer that taistes like metal/tomato.
Expat forums that have a lot of members who cannot handle other people thought oppinions .
Western women who are snotty and stuck up.
Khmer women demanding money for sex.
Expats who think they are higher up in some mind of heirachy because they live in Cambodia .
Bad food.
Too hot weather.
Dust.
Exhaustion.
There's nothing to do but drink beer.
2. Interesting. Never had a metallic tomato beer.
3. Your'e wrong, in my opinion.
4. Maybe only towards you.
5. Look up the definition of prostitution in a dictionary.
6. Like you ?
7. You are what you eat.
8. It's Cambodia !
9. See point 8.
10. See point 11.
11. a) If all you do is beer, why are you exhausted ?
b) If the beer is shit, why drink it ?

Hey, mate. After experiencing the traffic in Jakarta, I don't think rush hour in PP will be too daunting. At least in PP, I could choose to sit outside a cafe with a few cold beers and watch the traffic NOT passing by. Try doing that here.....Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2017 4:06 pm gripes...
PP... Rush hour Traffic, no beaches, no places to 'escape', not rural enough (im not a big city guy)
SHV... Not enough to do, you end up doing the same shit a lot
both have their pros n cons tbh

It's been said, but I also have to say Phnom Penh rush hour traffic. Fuuuuuuuck.
And while it's not as bad as Jakarta, I'm usually on a motorbike or in a TukTuk, whereas in Jakarta I was always in a taxi, so it didn't "seem" as miserable.

Personally I don't think the traffic in PP is too bad, especially compared to the other SEA cities. Rush hour is pretty hectic but can easily be avoided for the most part. With it being a relatively small city you can always walk!
As mentioned above, after being in Jakarta for so long I think the traffic could be quite idyllic in comparison.

This. I just walk, the only time it does bother me is when going to the airport. Certainly, places like HCMC or Bangkok are a lot worse.ReasonstobefearfulP3 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 10:32 am Personally I don't think the traffic in PP is too bad, especially compared to the other SEA cities.

The one thing? The grabbing nature of the local shopkeepers and wealthy elites.
See crook!!!
