So many bullshit artists in South East Asia. Conmen, fantasists, interlopers....

Wanderers, vagabonds, compulsive liars.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that no joke Howard was ever claiming to be a six-figure IT consultant (after moving to Cambodia at 17 years of age/with no work experience in the UK). Sounds like a fairytale to me.

Re: How is it for YOU returning to live in the west after several years abroad?

I know BubbleT since about 2005 and can vouch that he isn't really exaggerating anything. He had learned fluent Khmer shortly after getting here and even sang Khmer songs on TV! He had some ups and downs but he always managed well. He's just some sort of enigma. Please review the use of the present...

Re: How is it for YOU returning to live in the west after several years abroad?

So you are expecting people to believe that a 'multi-billion dollar' company, would employ a nobody from Cambodia over a highly qualified individual (with experience) in the UK? Why do ex-pats come in these forms and make up such grandiose tales? It never ceases to amaze me. A stranger collection o...

Re: How is it for YOU returning to live in the west after several years abroad?

@Bubble T your story is fascinating how you arrived to Cambodia age 17 and spent most of your adult life here and then was able to land back in Britain and earn well above the average. If you care to share - how did you do it? You must have accumulated a lot of skill and developed quite the CV whil...

Re: How is it for YOU returning to live in the west after several years abroad?

For context, I moved to Cambodia at 17 and returned to England at 34 with my partner and our son having never lived outside of Cambodia as an adult before. It's been very difficult for me and the only reason I've survived it and made it work is that I already had a decent job working remotely so I ...

Re: American Vlogger AARON EYMAN (Aaron in Cambodia) Upset with CEO (VIDEO)

I'm not sure which is more fascinating? The fact that this violent midget (Aaron) actually thinks that he is a virtuous person, doing good for humanity; or the fact that people on this forum relentlessly troll him, patently revealing their flawed character; offloading their repressed anger. I know t...
