Living in Cambodia – The Good, The Bad and The Really F*cking Ugly

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.

Without delving into how insanely problematic it is that EVERYTHING IN ASIA CONTAINS SKIN WHITENING AGENTS, do you have any idea how infuriating it is not to be able to buy shower gel, moisturiser, or even DEODORANT that doesn’t bleach your skin?

You will always be getting sick, being sick, or recovering from being sick. The food will upset your stomach. The water will upset your stomach (yes, even if you only use it to shower and brush your teeth), and you will get infected cuts that turn into life threatening diseases (ask me how I know).

I have somehow managed to find non-whitening soaps, lotions and any other beauty product in all my years of living here - you just have to know where to shop.

I have somehow spent months in Cambodia without witnessing any rapes or child molestation.

You are aware that she is talking about foreigners (worse: white males —> currently considered the most horrible part of human kind), while each of the headlines you so (self)-righteously flashed contained stories about local Cambodians.

I've seen child exploitation first hand!
They got me for 16 woven fish, 9 woven bracelets, 7 trinkets that serve no purpose at all, food, soft drinks & tuk tuk's to get them off the beach when the sun was going down.
That was 13 years ago & one of the little shysters is a good friend of mine & making me this :D

Cambodian men tend be very jealous and protective of their wives. Any man looking at his wife lewdly (even if imagined) is grounds for murder, especially when drunk. A Cambodian man allowing his wife to be raped by another Cambodian man? Easily grounds to commit murder.

Multiple Cambodian men raping his wife in a hostel? That can drive any man into mass murder, especially not drunk.

Where does this Jezebel get her ideas from? Taxi girls?
