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.

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......

Howdy boy,first off I would like to say I admire your honesty however it seems you have offended most of the losers who avidly replied back to you with notions of “ban him,your friends are losers etc,Now where you cross the line with me boy is here”I make $300 a day lol only?you are still a peasant!when you get to the USD5000 a day mark globally you can wake up and feel like me!amazing did you know I am now the only westerner meaning Caucasian Texan driving a 2017 Rolls Royce in the kingdom.not everybody in Cambodia is a peasant like you .

Having a Rolls Royce does not necessarily make one a wanker.

Homes can depreciate too. Ask somebody living in Baghdad or Detroit.

Far from remaining monarchical, hierarchy-ridden subjects on the margin of civilization, Americans had become, almost overnight, the most liberal, the most democratic, the most commercial minded, and the most modern people in the world." - Gordon S.
