A Modest Proposal – 1

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.

Flying Chicken,the numbers you give imply that you were working for a tiny salary, much less than an English teacher. Is that correct?

That would be fine for a single man. Once you bring a baby daughter into the world, your damn well better be busting your ass to provide her and your wife with a decent life and future. You don't get a day off from that responsibility.
