Where Have All The Crazies Gone ?

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.

Where Have All The Crazies Gone ?

Post by sklmeera »

Having lived in PP and Cambodia around 1996 I recently returned and was surprised how tame the expats were . Gone are the hard drinking and whoring journalists ,teachers and travellers, and instead are Mormons , flashpackers and respectable tourists on holiday .

3-4 post on here, most of the expat community consists of grey flannel suits trying to travel incognito and other assorted dullards..

It's a bit weird that you'd think the expat demographics would remain unchanged despite the country itself being virtually unrecognizable from 1996. Most of the guys I know from that era don't really go out anymore.

Hell many of them died or moved on. Especially journalists who fought and lost the uphill battle.

I'd imagine most of the heavy drinkers are now dead, along with the heavy drug users

People who live crazy lives generally don't live long lives, unless they make a lifestyle change

The next generation is there but, might be harder to spot due to generational differences and are more discreet due to pc culture being hammered into them. I still go strong and late into the night but, tend to try to keep a lower profile then 10 years ago. I'd have to agree that the previous generation has either died, have medical issues or just mellowed with age.

Don't know how you did it, but congrats! Your posts walk on a wild enough side for me. Keep'em coming.
