Do Expats really think life in Cambodia is meaningful?

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

Seems like the expats are far removed from the above issues. It certainly 'pays', being an expat in Cambodia. I feel for the poor locals who must view their country in a completely different light. :|
Yes, we are all sure you do.
I wish I knew a whole lot more, or a whole lot less.

happy accident.

so you think that you have the same freedoms as Cambodians? C'mon you have more freedoms, you have money for starters, and can go home to make it easily. What if you grew up in Cambodia, you'd be a poor version of yourself, prpbably a boeng kak evictee, :o

I am home. "Probably" a BK evictee? Just how many people do you think were living around BK? If I had grown up here I probably would have died during the DK.

THE ONLY positive reason to bump a nearly 4 year old thread is to see the members that no longer post
