Introduce Yourself

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.

Upgraded? Are you trying to insult us or something?

In a nutshell: Cambodian, born in France, 34, works in non-profit sector (advocacy), been living in Cambodia since 2003, visited family in France twice, married, a 4-yo son.
Usually friendly, open-minded, and tolerant. Just don't try to test, jest, and banter with me. I have very low tolerance towards people who fail at being smart-asses.

Hi, good luck with the forum. I'm in the UK, and should be heading to PP this winter. It would be great if you guys kept a grip on keyboard warriors, instead of making the mods lol, and stop them chasing away 9/10 newbies.

Greetings all
I'm Garry Crabtree, some of you might know me as a pratt/joker from the "other forum".

Actually, I only make the endless jokes as I personally think that the other forum and its mods, are way too up their own arse. To me, if you cannot laugh at yourself then don't bother opening your mouth.

For those that don't know me, I have been living in Phnom Penh since 1999. I came here as head of a large NGO but have subsequently moved over to the business sector where I have set up and owned about half a dozen for profit businesses.

Now my work involves me travailing all over the world and therefore spend 9-10 months away from Cambodia. That said, this is still my home and is where my (non-Khmer) family is based.

Great idea to set up C.E.O and I'll try to keep my endless prattle to the other site, although I cannot promise that.

GC, please continue. I've enjoyed you're puns for a while now. '...up their own arse..." is putting it politely! :lol:
