Re: Do expats really care about the locals?
Hard to beat the amount of views that nudity gets, with a human interest story...
I have a lot of sympathy for the locals. I feel more compassion for the Khmer than for any other tribe on the planet. Does that mean I do something for them? I do, but not much, but pretty much to the best of my ability. I hope to do more in the future though.

I care on alternate days.

Re: Do expats really care about the locals?
i spend about 1/2 my working hours assisting some local young men to create a honey producing cooperative.
i live in a 3m x 3 m metal hut. no fridge. $35 to go to PP and back. i have no regular job. thus only income from beekeeping.
does that count?

Re: Do expats really care about the locals?
Is it something to do with an 'us and them' mentality. I often forget to draw a distinct line between myself and the locals.... where does compassion start and stop?

The cunts running the country don't give a fuck, so why should we ????
Re: Do expats really care about the locals?
Precisely because they don't?

If you think that l they don't care about their own, I can assure you they think less about foreigners. However, I worked hard to achieve high level of spoken Khmer fluency in part to help me distinguish between those I like and those I don't. As for caring about all the locals that is beyond me in any country, even my own.

As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.
