Re: Has living in Cambodia become 'normalised' for you?
Normalised ? Normal ? The longer I live on this planet the more I'm convinced there is no such thing as normal. As for feeling out of place in this country or the other country you live in, I think we all have a '' split personality'' complex so it's just a matter of being that person at that place ...

Re: Pedestrianizing Phnom Penh Riverside
East: Sisowath Quay (designed as the Pop Street area).
Looks like some streets are being downgraded from a '' bang '' street to a '' pop'' street.

Re: Best Online Resources for learning Khmer
I wouldn't feel guilty about not learning and speaking Khmer all those years you have been here. The 99% of the Cambodians that you have been in contact with have probably learnt a lot of English from you, although you haven't realised it. When you leave this world, leave it knowing that you have i...

Re: Best Online Resources for learning Khmer
After several years of living here, I have finally bitten the bullet and will begin my first one-to-one Khmer lesson tomorrow. Ironically, my teacher is an old student of mine who I used to teach English to. Since finding out that he is now also a teacher (although not a language teacher) he's offe...

Not Guilty.
My ancestors are demanding a retrial as they believe they are not guilty of stealing. In-fact they want the axes, mirrors and muskets that were traded back again.

Re: Is my Electricity Bill high?
Yup. That's high. Even with a big room/s. I'm getting ripped at .25 and it is around $100/mth. 24/7 ac. You realise a ceiling fan heats your room? In front, you feel the breeze, but the motor heats the room. So does everything that uses electricity, especially your fridge.... It just so happens tha...

Re: English Teacher GARY SMITH seems to be Homeless now with a Broken Leg in Phnom Penh
Clearly his brain is damaged even more than his leg. With those fuck-ups who go off the rails in faraway countries, it's a shame that there's no way to send them back home, put their passport through the shredder and be done with their shenanigans once and forever. Would he be any better off on the...

Re: Illiteracy in young(ish) Khmers
And at the other end of the scale there are many 5 to 10 year olds that are multilingual, speaking Khmer and English. How many kids that young speak two languages in your country unless they have a parent born overseas. My girlfriend's 7 year old and also her 7 yo cousin, both girls , understand Eng...
