Do your Cambodian friends or missus see it as half full or half empty?

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

It is really interesting to hear from you guys as i believed that those who are friend with foreigners or get married with foreigner see this glass as half full as they might have been influenced by the western culture, way of thinking and belief. They are kinda more open and optimistic than ordinary Cambodian as the majority of Cambodians would see this as half empty and that including me.

Here is an example

Most of Cambodians, they would not travel as family. They are always afraid that if something bad happen, they might have died all together and no one takes care or take over their properties.

PS: This example doesn't apply to all Cambodian.

i say half, and also yes your right they afraid.. but honesty its kinda funny to think about that one.

បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.
