Hmm, so Irishes are that stingy, and they also cheat their most famous brand to their export customers ?John Bingham wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 12:42 am It's total nonsense, nobody is handing out free Guinness in Ireland. It's €6 a pint. And Indonesian/Nigerian/Jamaican Guinness is foreign export muck. Nothing like the real thing.
I'll take your word for it, but i would tend to be suspicious for now at any Irish brand or label i guess...
It's true that soft drinks taste even sweeter in Indo, but at least their Heineken tastes like piss just as any Heineken anywhere else in the world.

Copy and paste by PPP journos, who should know that LOS is NOT Cambodia. Duh.
But I vote for "Cambodians are generally friendly to expats".
Cambodians are just genuinely friendly. I don’t honk that will ever change.
author doesn't even know which country is the "land of smiles"
Look you all can think Cambodia is better, friendlier, easer than thailand but its not
and thats my %.05
The Cambos must be laughing their asses off:
"Look at this... even the expats that have been here for a long time think we like them! Get this bit..""They've been through so much and still have a smile on their faces!" They don't know how right they are when they say 'A' smile on their 'FACES'
"Err, for a second there I thought they were on to us being 2-faced."
"Err, it's like, please help me... cunt. Maybe it's them who are 2-faced"
"Tay, they wouldn't be wearing those ones if they were. Asked one, 'what's with the mask, bong?' he goes 'blah blah covid' I says 'nah, the one under that, Halloween's a month away,'"
"Get him?"
"Get this. I keep smiling, as per training, give him a number 13c and he hands over 2 thousand and pringles, and goes 'you shouldn't call elders bong, youngster'
I says 'Yes sir, I am bong, you are pou'
He says, 'Thats right, very good'
I said 'What? My English?'
He didn't get it, of course, and goes 'no your respect'
So I says ' oh yeah, well I'm not supposed to say shit'
"Ha, and they call us stupid! Nice watch"

No, it's a higher strength so it doesn't go off in the tropics - where it is brewed.Ghostwriter wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 3:23 amHmm, so Irishes are that stingy, and they also cheat their most famous brand to their export customers ?John Bingham wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 12:42 am It's total nonsense, nobody is handing out free Guinness in Ireland.

I like Kilkenny.
The widget for carbonation is a pretty good touch with Kilkenny and Guiness.

My joke reference about the free drink was the Guinness (storehouse?) brewery in Dublin. Free Guinness after you’ve finished the tour. Or is my mind confused?John Bingham wrote: ↑Fri Aug 13, 2021 3:51 pmI'm from Dublin and I can assure you that there is fuck all chance you will get any free Guinness there.
Yes I know you’ve paid for the tour but still. It’s FREE!

Well you can’t argue with Rough Guide. Pretty much the number guide book ever! (Apart from Lonely Planet but they went down hill in 2000).

*cough* Thailand deservedly trailing behind in fifth.

Re: Cambodia ranks fourth for friendliness towards foreign residents
From my experience, I have to really disagree. When visiting many Khmer businesses, especially during pandemic times, people often are unwelcoming and have poor attitudes. When renting an apartment, the landlords have been incredibly rude by what they say and how they say it. I have had multiple women scream and be very aggressive when looking at apartments. While in China, Thailand and Vietnam, people were very helpful and did whatever it took to help me when renting.
I honestly believe Vietnam is kinder to foreigners and certainly Thailand. People here have absolutely no filter or tactfulness when dealing with others it seems in many cases-they simply do not care and some really like to disrespect others. The customer service is also abysmal with shop owners caring about an immediate sale and a complete disregard for the customer.
I do not like to be negative too much, but these are just my observations. This has been heightened during the pandemic of course but this attitude and group of problems were always present.

Yes, it is. I know it's a big city but still not acceptable.
