Re: Moving from Thailand to Cambodia
I made the move 12 years ago from Thai to Cambodia. Spent around five years in Thailand before Cambo. Best decision I've ever made. Better culture. Don't overthink this one. Thailand becoming more like Disneyland everyday. Seriously? Thailand becoming Disneyland? Disneyland is a fantasy world. A ve...

Re: October 7, film report from Aljazeera
A recent study by The Rockford Institute (2023), concluded that if some sort of magic wand could be waved and all Israelis plus all Palestinians ceased to exist tomorrow, the net effect upon the world would be zero. They would not be missed. Power abhors a vacuum. Someone else would replace both th...

Re: FYI: Heading to HK / China ( even transit)
Well I know some Western academics whose works have been critical of China, and they wouldn't have dared visiting Hong Kong for a long time already. It's not like they needed this new law if they really wanted to get you. The problem isn’t just academics. It’s whatever the local arresting authoriti...

Re: FYI: Heading to HK / China ( even transit)
They need 212 pages for something they do in the US in 4 words: the war on terrorisme !! That’s like saying North Korea and Norway are both democracies. The only difference being one is a People’s democracy (and thus more pure) than a western democracy. Mainland China keeps shooting itself in the f...

Re: Khmer foreigner rating system — it's riel
False pleasantries are the part of the lubrication that makes societies work. To one extreme, Japan, where pleasantries are elevated to an art form. Lifelong training in delivering what one wants to hear in order to preserve social order. On the other extreme, German corporate culture, where direct ...

Re: I'm Locked Up
Do keyboard warriors have anything better to do than belittle other posters? No wonder there are so many lurkers and not many posters on CEO. Throwing out put downs to show superior keyboard prowess doesn’t encourage discussion. Sorry, frustrated by the flaming sometimes. Otherwise a good discussion...

Re: Worth the death penalty?
Officials and corrupt business leaders in Vietnam are regularly given the death penalty for accepting bribes and involvement in shady dealings, including some previously high ranked government people. The best thing about the death penalty in Vietnam is that it is executed (ok, bad pun) almost imme...

Re: Braless white women
Padded panties? These are a thing? And how did I miss them? Lastly, what the hell for? Remember the last lime you sat in a uncomfortable airline seat for 8 hours and ended up at your destination with a sore ass. Well I m a skinny ass bastard with no fat down there so I wore two pairs and it felt li...

Re: New Hospital
Wow, what a response. Wanting the LDS church to reform the entire Cambodian medical system to western standards, as well as bring the average Cambodian pharmacy to Western standards as well, before any credit is given. The church is already building the first public hospital in 20 years in Cambodia,...
