Explaining to your friends and family

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.

And my two photos are not a market,,, it's a road. And a footpath somewhere I think.


It has awnings and sellers, it looks like Psah Kandal.
Nope. Close, but far away..
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I try not to explain anything to my family, as we don't like each other much.
Most of my friends (both) have been to asia, Some have even experienced it with me, so no explanations needed.

Talking of which (friends), and drifting completely off topic...
I bumped into an old friend on the corner of 136 by Olala restaurant a week or so back. We hadn't seen each other since 2013 when we left to join different companies, but I'd been thinking I ought to email him only that afternoon. His first time in Cambodia.
We were both taken aback for a moment, but fortunately beer was immediately at hand.
He's determined to come back and have a spirited look around.

As you were-

I know. Suffering jet lag, awake at the wrong time of day, and banging my head against the wall dealing with the UK gubbinsment...one was seeking some normality* and found it





*the normality that starts to make sense after spending time in Cambodia
