Getting stale in Cambodia

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.

I don't get it, Garry.

Seriously, I find many people's hassles begin with themselves (including me)

Travelling doesn't change you, beer does.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)

Came here to settle and stay from day one, went through countless can't bear it anymore phases alternated with i love it so much ones too.
Been here 15 years, not even excited to travel back to my mother land anymore.
Intend to be buried here ultimately.

I travel all over the world with my work nowadays but I still get excited when I land in PNP.

To me some places just have a hook which keeps you there. Phnom Penn has that hook but I,m buggered if I know what it is or why.

But some things never changed, I once travelled 25,000 KMs from home to escape myself only to end up in another place going "Oh, fucking you again, you followed me all the way here?"

Yep, as they used to say in the 60's Wherever you go, there you are. But, having said that those with a sensitivity to bad governance might be happier elsewhere.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.
