Dear folks,

Really simple. Leave PP.
I dont like PP. I spend most of my time in smaller towns.

Just out of curiosity, how long have you been pondering about this question?

Maybe do some volunteer work
Re: how to avoid becoming cynical and bitter in PP
A few ideas I find useful for myself:
Count your blessings. Focus on the good things you have in Phnom Penh.
Every evening, think about the good stuff that is happening to you for a few minutes.
It could be a lot worse.
How would someone in Venezuela feel about the full super markets and pharmacies in Phnom Penh?
Ask, “how can I be of service, or how can I add value to this town?”
You can start small and start right away:
Smile, flirt, and make people around you a bit happier.
Don’t sweat the small stuff for too long.
I recently had a bit of a health scare. Everything turned out to be allright, but for a few days my whole focus was on perhaps being seriously ill. This helped to put things in perspective, at least for a while.
All the best.

grumpy is the stage where you're no longer willing to put up with shit
just before the stage where you don't care anymore
that hostess looks like she has some bedtime secrets
Ah, much bitter, ah, better.

Re: how to avoid becoming cynical and bitter in PP
Could you be more specific about why you are cynical and bitter in PP ?
Is it because of the places you hang out in and the people that you frequent ? Is it the price of pineapples, or the tuktuk drivers that drive you nuts ? Are you unlucky in love ?
Is it PP or is it you ? I get the cynical bit and I think that's healthy to a certain extent, but not so much the bitter bit. That's not good. Take a holiday maybe or move house. Change your habits. Find some positive things to do for yourself.
Lol. I would never live in PP, so my 2c FWIW.
