50 years since first moon landing

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.

50 years since first moon landing

Post by hiway5 »

I remember it like it was yesterday which was a popular song at the time by Frank Sinatra.
I was living in a village near the US air force base at Udorn Thani. I used to go there to get apples which were rare items in those days and I could sell for high price.
One day the pilots were given a day off from bombing those commies over the river. We were all invited to watch the tv on base.
There was a huge cheer when Lance Armstrong and Donald Trump stepped onto the moon. The pilots gave us some of their left over food to take home. The chickens loved it.
A few months later Donald Trump called in while on a worldwide tour. He gave me a cap which said I'll Be Back.

Good times.

The appen has landed. That's one small boomboom for [a] man, one giant boomboom for mankind.

What is 'appen'?
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

I think it was the fact they were 1000s of miles away and the data transfer to earth was sketchy. (Also something to do with how the radio works. Or something. EME)

(In reality they were 10 miles away in a hangar)

It's due to the Thais strict pronunciation rules. Words that end in L are changed to an N sound.
So just remember when you're going to Central Dept Store, you want to go to Centrun.
