Re: Interesting video on "new" type of beggers in other parts of the world.

Slightly off topic but related, I've watched quite a lot of Serpentza's videos. A lot of chinese don't like what he says (as can often be seen in the video comments) as they feel it portrays China and its people in a bad light. I imagine this video about Chinese beggars wouldn't go down well either...

Re: GoFundMe Generation

It's a free country. They can do what they want. If I don't like what they are doing, I Ignore them. I suggest everyone do the same.

Re: Shipping personal effects from Europe to Cambodia

I typically buy extra baggage and use hockey bags to pack. Also likely to have less attention from customs (taxes and risk of pilferage) if its with you when you bring it in. I don't know europe to cambodia, but Canada to Singapore it was around USD$90 / bag I believe. But I don't have a good sense...

Re: Ground Zero of the Cambodian Dog meat Trade.

I am a dog lover, but have to confess I don't see a problem with dogs being considered a food resource, the real issue is the treatment of the dogs before they are killed and the way they are killed. Is there really any difference between a dog and a pig (aside from the sentimental attachment affor...

Re: A positive view

I often read through these forums, and usually its a depressing tale of crime, drunkenness, muggings, sh*thole bar areas, pedophilia, boredom and lonely expat deaths and suicides. Sure, but those are the sort of things discussed in news anywhere in the world. When was the last time you saw a headli...

Re: Pets

Contact ARC (Animal Rescue Cambodia ), they have lots of gorgeous cats and dogs looking for homes. Totally a good idea! And if you are truly an animal lover, please give generously to the ongoing GoFundMe for Tally, the gorgeous Cambodian/Australian cat that recently passed away and needs a proper ...

Re: deciding where to live

I don't plan to burn any bridges. I have spent hours online looking at other countries. I want to live someplace other than the US. Most countries are either A way to expensive or B way to hard to move to or C both. I don't expect to live like a king but I figure I can live as well or even a bit be...

Re: Another Cat Goes to Heaven, Another Cambodian GoFundMe Campaign Started

I think the cat should be put down and I can't say that I would have a problem if they did the same to the guy who sleeps hugging a cat. Oh so true... The image of the heavily tattooed dread-locked guy hugging and sleeping with a kitten is particularly disturbing and it would quite please many peop...
