A Plague of Frogs

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.

A Plague of Frogs

Post by mammothboy2 »

It's been over a week now and they're here again; a plague of frogs (Siem Reap version) ...

This is what the great LORD says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs. The Nile will teem with frogs. They will come up into your palace and your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and on your people, and into your ovens and kneading troughs. The frogs will go up on you and your people and all your officials.
— Exodus 8:1–4


... the front door is opened in the morning and within twenty minutes one hops in and has to be expelled. They are slightly less than
thumbnail size and the thought of one of them perishing under the sofa is unbearable (cockroaches merit no such compassion, damn
them)

Yupp, all over the place. And my cats won't even go near them. I guess because some of them are actually toads.

If my landlady was there she'd be collecting them up for dinner.

Bloody frogs, next they'll be wandering off into the jungle and getting lost!
