Re: Has living in Cambodia become 'normalised' for you?
Of course. If I did anything in the west like I do here, I likely go to prison for the rest of my life. That's what separate what's normal for the west and what's normal for the east. It like Oil and water. Both cultures dont mix. What's so different about laws here and the west? They all deal with...

Re: Has living in Cambodia become 'normalised' for you?
For example, even things like spontaneously socialising in groups outside on blankets just because the weather is nice is something that doesn't happen in England saved for a designated event, festival, etc. putting you at risk being labeled that horrible A-word every native English speaker fears m...

Re: Heat
Apparently it's the hottest it's been for 170 years, since records began!

Re: Has living in Cambodia become 'normalised' for you?
I never felt this way because when I first came to here to Cambodia I knew it'd be for the long haul (at least +3 years) and so I dropped the "expat" mentality, accepted that I was an immigrant in the literal sense, and immediately started trying to adapt by force, meaning total Khmer lan...

Re: Pedestrianizing Phnom Penh Riverside
As I mentioned earlier, they are building a huge bridge between 106 and 108 so I don't expect that parking lot will be around long. https://cambodianess.com/article/south-korea-friendship-bridge-construction-date-set Is the night market going to be lost to the on/off ramp of the bridge reaching gro...

Re: Pedestrianizing Phnom Penh Riverside
I haven't seen any detailed plans of how it will link up with the existing roads.

Re: Has living in Cambodia become 'normalised' for you?
It seems pretty normal for me as I've lived here almost 20 years. I lived abroad for 15 years before that too so I've been a "foreigner" most of my life. The place is constantly changing though, it's not the same country I first visited in the late 90s.

Re: Pedestrianizing Phnom Penh Riverside
Here's more information. Images run through google translate so some text might not make much sense. https://i.imgur.com/v6MVDG6.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/hkKwKOA.png So the big lot that used be a park behind the Night Market is now parking lot (it's been like so for some time already actually, as t...

Re: Do you support Ukraine or Russia?
There's nothing much to tell. Last time I checked is that Ukraine is losing badly. They are facing serious pressure but the front lines have barely moved in more than two years. Considering how Russia thought it was going to take them three days to take the whole country they are doing well. If Ukr...

Re: Israel and Palestinian Conflict
It's crazy how many people have jumped on this bandwagon and are now basically supporting Islamic fundamentalists. Not a word to say about Putin's invasion of Ukraine, the main threat we face. No clue how many problems we are going to face if we keep getting manipulated by enemies. Deluded idiots.
