Sometimes self reliance can get tricky!Micmac wrote:I'm pretty self sufficient,I learnt along time ago never to rely on anyone,So its no big deal for me.Until the day, God forbid, you have an emergency (fire, accident, etc.) and realize nobody will be coming.

There was a fire a couple of years ago on Sivatha Blvd, the main street in Siem Reap, and the Fire Brigade demanded CASH-IN-HAND to put out the blaze and rescue those trapped.
THE WORST DREAD: A nasty road accident and the medical bills are astronomical - literally in the thousands at Royal Angkor Hospital in
Siem Reap (unlike post-Communist Bulgaria, where a girder banged in to shore up a fractured femur cost a mere 80 Euros)

I would have no regrets..people told me you CANT cycle around Cambodia in the hottest part of the year,but I done it.

Micmac - the point is NOT whether or not we wrap ourselves in cotton wool but whether we really wish that this country had
even a rudimentary publicly-funded health service of even East European competence.
Not ALL Cambodian doctors are appalling, but many (most?) simply prescribe antibiotics and a saline drip ...

Cotton wool? Far from it. I grew up in Kenya, lived in China and SE Asia for 20+ years and took my chances. But fact is that anything untoward happens here, a prayer may be the best bet.mammothboy2 wrote:Micmac - the point is NOT whether or not we wrap ourselves in cotton wool but whether we really wish that this country had

Par for the course, I think the going rate is USD 800.00. By th time negotiations were over, most of those trapped had perished.mammothboy2 wrote:And that is what worries me at times. Any serious shit goes down and you are basically screwed.
