Police Tell Penniless French Backpacker Chick to Stop Begging in the Streets of Kampot

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Yep it has those meanings inasmuch as the strong word for stupidity is "connerie.". I gave the meaning I picked up in Paris where "conasse" was used interchangeably with "pute.". Anyway "poule" is safer.

Don't know when you were last in Paris, but "poule" really suggests a prostitute, and "connasse" is a bit strong - something like stupid bitch. "Nana"is more neutral and closer to chick I'd say.

:dm: Anyway, much easier just to put backpacker in the female genre, which incorporates the fact that the subject is a female - works out something like this :
"La police a sommé une routarde francaise sans le sou d'arreter de mendier dans les rues de Kampot." :mrgreen:

The subject of the topic have to be, why people comming from rich contries in europe comes to a so poor contryy like cambodia to do hollydays without moneyl. Some cambodian have no money for food and theae mtgerfuckers just don' t want to go home to do a longer holliday. They not help the people wih ther money they spent her......a little bit like this motherfucking german handycap beggar,who is begging and then use the money to drink and fuck around.....

Granted that rich and poor are relative in different countries. Nonetheless not every tourist from a rich country is rich. You speak like a Cambodian who thinks foreigners owe them their money.

"Don't know when you were last in Paris, but "poule" really suggests a prostitute, "

I was last there in 1979 and from the majority of dictionaries I've consulted it does appear that poule has acquired a pejorative sense. Interestingly enough it also appears that another usage it had is still current, I.e. poule =flic.

Il n'y a guère de français (e) qui y trouve quelque
chose à redire.
"Connasse" springs to mind.
reminds me of a funny story of when was boxing in Norway about 10 year ago, a few mates wanted to find some prostitutes so asked some guy, who thought they were french and didnt understand what my mates were talking about..
"where are the prostitutes?"
"le poulet?"
"yeah prostitutes"
"le poulet? i not know"

and my mates then thought "le poulet" was the word for prostitutes in Norwegian and was going round asking for chicken all night lol :facepalm: :ROFL:

so Poule can mean prostitute?
my above post became a bit of an inside joke in our boxing crowd, and even had it printed on some t-shirts when we went to Ibiza about 10 year ago "Searching for le poulet" lmfao :facepalm:

How a french tourist in cambodia can be poor ?

she paid around 500-700 eur to come to cambodia. You better know than me, how long a cambodian work for this money. If i understnad you well, it's ok that this people come to cambodia and ask them for money, to travell around and they not know how to pay their food and hostel.......these people show a very bad side from foreigners in cambodia.

so you young and too lazy to work for there money. My education teach me, that I buy things, for witch i have the money for. That mean, I travell, when i have money for it. And not go to a poor conty and begg around for it. Sorry, i don't understand it and don't want to understand it.

poverty is relativ. You're right. But from the cambodian perspective we all have a confortable life. How much ever you have in europe. Cambodian even have a health insurance and some die because of 10 $ missing for the doctor bill . The money the people (tourists and cambodian) give this peace of rubish will not go into a cambodian poket, what is much better than pay her a hostel, a beer or food (from witch she have enough at home in france).

during travelling around i meet so many of these people and i realy hate them. They don't have any understanding for the poverty of all these poor people around her and don't shame to "steel" them the money. The personal fun is the only priority.

Whatever....sorry for my anger, but Its stronger than me :)
