By Any Other Name?

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.

By Any Other Name?

Post by Kung-fu Hillbilly »

Jakarta is refered to as The Big Durian, Bangkok The Big Mango, New York The Big Apple, Mexico The Big Taco and on it goes.

I don't recall Phnom Penh going by any other name. I put forward The Big Pot.

Is that because most everyone there is envious of everywhere else?

It was thought to be a superior place in colonial times.
I certainly find it preferable to Bangkok or Jakarta!
The air quality has suffered the past two years.

Was once called "The Paris of Asia" I believe. Now I would go for the "Big Coconut"
