The IVY LOUNGE

This is the part of the forum where we discuss Cambodia's nightlife! While most bars, nightclubs, pubs, beer gardens, and hostess bars are in Phnom Penh, we discuss the Cambodian nightlife across all of Cambodia, including Siem Reap, Kampot, and Sihanoukville. The main nightlife areas in Phnom Penh are on Street 136, Street 130, Street 110 and Street 51, but there are other party spots that aren't girlie bars where expats, tourists, and locals drink until the sun comes up. Feel free to post specials and promotions that relate to nighttime fun!

I'd love to have a serious discussion about the whole 'western woman bullshit' topic but it would just end up being a bashing session, which is a shame. It could be an interesting discussion.

That may be a question that many may ponder over to find a defined answer.

Western world
The Western world, also known as the West and the Occident (from Latin: occidens "sunset, West"; as contrasted with the Orient), is a term referring to different nations depending on the context.
There are many accepted definitions about what all they have in common.
The concept of the Western part of Earth has its roots in Greco-Roman civilization in Europe, and the advent of Christianity.

In the modern era, Western culture has been heavily influenced by the traditions of the Renaissance, Protestant Reformation, Age of Enlightenment -- and shaped by the expansive colonialism of the 15th-20th centuries.

Before the Cold War era, the traditional Western viewpoint identified Western Civilization with the Western Christian (Catholic-Protestant) countries and culture.
Its political usage was temporarily changed by the antagonism during the Cold War in the mid-to-late 20th Century (1947-1991).

The term originally had a literal geographic meaning.

It contrasted Europe with the linked cultures and civilizations of the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and remote Far East, which early-modern Europeans saw as the East.

Today, this has little geographic relevance, since the United States and Canada are in the Americas, Russia expands to Northern Asia and Australia and New Zealand are part of Oceania.
In the contemporary cultural meaning, the phrase "Western world" includes Europe, as well as many countries of European colonial origin with substantial European ancestral populations in the Americas and Oceania.

Despite the month and a half, and despite your point being valid, is it not evident therefore, (assuming Aussie English teachers are even remotely useful in the Queen's English), that it might not be the owner's work and perhaps that of a local-hire marketing manager? I still think that the message isn't lost, and the focus should be anywhere other than the grammar and spelling. I'm sure that the majority of us Westerners are equally as bad when our Khmer (or other foreign language) skills are put to the test.

LOL. (Jibe of the Week award for that)

Happy to go the full Eastern, Jerry.
As long as you Olde Worlde people go/stay back on the other side of the planet where you and your olden days thinking properly belongs.

Then all of us here could get on with it, creating the next epoch - instead of spending so much time just trying to "manage" you intruders.
