You've been in Cambodia too long when....

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.

When you have no qualms driving the wrong way against traffic and consider a red light to be a mild suggestion.

When I tag 20 of my best fri in a picture of my lunch on Facebook (and at least half of them leave nice comments).
"Life is too important to take seriously."

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."

When you wake up hungover after a long evening on the town. To find you have no memory of the night before and don't know the time because your watch is gone, can't call a friend because your phone is also gone, can't pay your bill because your money is all gone. Yet, somehow manage to charge your ticket home, your outstanding bills, and all associated costs by pinning at on some guy you met the night before at a hostess bar on his tab . But stop short of catching your plane because in your heart you know you can't make it anywhere else.
