Re: Lias bye bye haowii
sorry to hear. my father passed from stomach cancer, he went through a rough 6 months before he passed (but he was sick a few years before he declined hard). i guess i understand you choosing your fate. maybe try pain meds to delay as long as possible though.

Re: Internet in the province is poor? Any best choices?
metfone was always best for me in rural areas. i heard cellcard has better coverage than smart, but i never used it. just ask a local guy what he uses.

Re: Safety in Cambodia
if you have a male living there 24/7 then it might be okay. i think its like any other country, thieves or neighbors will stake out your house for a few days, see if you're home, and if they know you aren't home, easy target.

Re: Foreigner abandons family over $2.50
i guess i'm desensitized to the foreigner mark up. i'm so used to it. $2.50 is cheap. the rude-ness factor i usually let my ppl handle that, they can be rude in return, sometimes i actually have to hold them back.
