Nostalgia in fifty years.

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.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I usually stay near The Lost Room Restaurant and walking from there down the alleyway to Aeon Mall. they have these small food stalls . The pic here isnt exactly what i mean. Usually they are open to the alleyway and seem like they can be the first floor of someone's house. but this also would be missed

Love this dish...I would miss these types ofplaces

In future decades people will be looking back on the "Golden Age" of peace and prosperity in Cambodia which lasted from 1999 til 2029 or so. You ain't seen nothing yet. 8)

hahah I know.. but was using that as a reference... . Agree Barangs.. but when describing where I usually live. That is the easiest reference when explaining to someone.. most likely another barang.

Kar Sac Chreuk.(as near a phonetic sounding name as I can muster)

SWMBO makes this. It was her first ‘going away’ dinner that she cooked.


To KFHB
The Khmer will get over ambitious with big buildings as they have in KL, PP will be ‘sanitized’ but will lose much in the process.

Street food, for instance will be pushed out, over regulated.

It will be a shadow of what was.
