Do I pack in a moderately paying job that bores me to death and escape for a year (or more if my savings allow) or do I stick it out and be miserable, the 9-5 lifestyle is pretty boring and I don't think I'll survive long enough until retirement age anyway, plus I don't plan on having kids so buying a house for £300,000 seems like a massive anchor.
I digress, hello forum I look forward to reading some classic threads tonight if anyone can point me to some

Take money and take time to learn the language.
NJH covers most aspects of living in cambodia but he lost a lot of following due to coming out the "cyber closet " and falling in love with ladyboys.

Re: Introduce Yourself
there is bar/hostel/cooking jobs in cambodia and they should cover atleast food board and beer plus some small money for survival until you find something better like teaching of or an NGO gig.
a 3 month visa is around 70 something USD or a year for 270 USD and agency will take care of thank no questions asked.
Cambodia is a dual currency country using USD and KHR
average prices are about
4000 riel is 1 USD
big water 50 cents USD
local beer is 50 cents USD per small
rice porridge is around 0.65 cent
noodles from 65 cents a bowl.
a plate of pork rice for 1.25 USD.
banana shake for 1 USD.
a cheap hotel in the party ares is 10 USD a night .
its very easy to meet expats lots of bar flys and sex tourists in phnom phen and sihinoukville .
lots of backpackers in siem reap ,battambang, kampot and otres.

Re: Introduce Yourself
You never lived here so stop misleading people on a topic you are utterly clueless about. NJH crashed and burned here over the course of two years, and had to borrow money off the embassy to get home. I suppose that seems like a great achievement to you.

I was just kidding. I appreciate all the info you give, especially on the price of banana shakes and hooker girls.
