Re: Scooter vs Tuktuk
I can break this down for you since I just sold my moto after using it for a year. I bought my moto new for $1350 and sold it for $850 almost exactly a year later. So $500 to use a new moto for a year ($42 a month). My work was far so add in about $8 to $10 a month for gas. $4 for oil change (once a...

Re: Buying a motorcycle in Phnom Penh
If you are looking for a used moto check online, specifically the Facebook groups for buy and sell. You typically can get one from an expat and hopefully not worry about maintenance issues. Some of the Khmer do not do routine maintenance, even oil changes so I would be wary. Granted, fixing anything...

Short Term Chinese Visa (American citizen)
I read that you can get a short term visa to China (72 hours). I am flying through Shanghai and have a 13 hour layover so I wanted to explore the city a bit to kill some time. I have not found much other useful information however. Can anyone explain how that process works, do I get it on arrival or...

Re: What is your opinion on getting facial tattoos?
As someone with a lot of tattoos I would never get anything on my face or neck. Unless you are in a gang or a rapper they just are going to cause problems. Also, they usually look awful.

Re: Is it time to go home?
Can't be bothered to read the whole thread, but going back to the original post, it mentions the racism here. Yes, there is racism here. As white, non natives, we're treated differently in many aspects of society here. For example, we're generally paid more, in some cases, a lot more, than native p...

Re: Cambodian schools and universities
Where do you work if you don't mind me asking? LKUCT or Zaman? If the policy is clear and supported by owners/ admin why do they need more meetings? Seems kind of contradictory, no? If we had a dollar for every time admin had told a teacher to be strict and then taken the student's side when it cam...

Re: Cambodian schools and universities
I work for one of the high end private universities, so while I cannot comment on the poor education of the provinces I can tell you that cheating as a whole is a huge deal on the university level. Many of the elite enter university with the notion that do not have to work very hard to get a degree ...

Re: Hangover 4 - Man Wakes Up with No Memory and No Penis

Absolutely. :shock: UPDATE: Mystery of the missing penis solved A man who woke up from a blackout drunk on Sunday to find his penis had been chopped off, still doesn’t know where his penis is, but at least he now knows who’s responsible for its removal.

Re: Old western men with young asian girls
It can be sad, given the state of the man or the economic status of the women who date them. It is not going to go away however until the impact is changed in the region. As long as there are girls looking to improve their status financially you are going to see them attracted to older men with mone...
