what I learned from Southeast Asia....

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.

what I learned from Southeast Asia....

Post by Beerinthemorning »

I learned many things in my 8 year stint working/living in SEA and OZ .

mostly I learned that the people in SEA all have one thing in common and that is they all tend to think
"my storys is different/ my situation is different"

there are all the same in the end,
they are all running from there problems in the west.
if not then why are they there?
are they there to drink them selfs to death?

perhaps they are running from there shitty 9-5's and there boring routines....

what I do learn is where they end up is the worst possible place for them, a third world poverty strickened corrupt country with a sky high suicide rate and a huge Alcohol problem......

:please: :facepalm:

when is enough ...enough

I know many many people that live, work, ran their own business, raised a family and have retired in SE aisa. Most came for a new experience
Very, very few were running from anything back home.
U hang with some real losers. :beer1:

mmm not quite, I do however observe CEO news perhaps a tad bit closer than you.

I dont see many success stories on there BTW and I havent seen any books/docos written about westerners in the region opening businesses , finding love and living happily ever after in SEA.
