Re: what if there was no way back?
heres an American kicked out that made his life new in Cambodia.

I live where i am most comfortable, I NEVER burn bridges and can always go home if i choose,
right now i dont choose too.
If america is shitty, what is cambodia??
My daughter never lived in america til she was 18 an now loves it there
Happy, in school and on her way to a successful occupation/ career
I left the states in 1979 and went back in 98 to live and work and stayed 18 months but only left cause i had a better job offer, otherwise would have stayed, Had no trouble reintegrating into American life
for all its faults america is still a fantastic place if u have a back bone and want to succeed.

Imagine if Cambodia did not want you to return to live here and you had to live in some shitty country like USA,

Your still a kid.Now I'm going to be 30 this year and I've come to realize there may be no going back.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Could happen to anyone.clippy wrote:Duncan wrote:clippy wrote:imagine if you will be living in Cambodia permanently, for the rest of your life
not as an expat, or long term tourist, but as an immigrant. you cant go back home, your own country just got demolished by Godzilla or decided you are now an exile
how do you feel about that?
or are you already here under those circumstances?
I think you may have all this back to front,,,,, Imagine if Cambodia did not want you to return to live here and you had to live in some shitty country like USA, UK, OZ or Siberia. What if you house your boat , [ and islands ] car and wife were here and you could not return to access your bank account . What if your other bank account [ in Nigeria ] which had $1,000000000000000000000000000000000 in it now only had $1 and you needed to speak to the bank manager personally. And all the e/mails , phone calls and letters to you wife who manages your affairs has not answered.
But I think it would never happen .. Would it ?
hmmm sounds like you could be describing Sergei P here

I'm never likely to be stuck in Cambodia. I'm here by choice. I love it, for the moment. If I had no choice, maybe I wouldn't love it as much as I do. Who knows?

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
