Re: Renting in PP

Health insurance is the other query – what options are about that don’t cost a bomb? I've been using World Nomads here for years. Cost me about $100/month with repatriation coverage. I know world nomads, i think from some overlander-website, but did you ever had to contact them, needed them. I saw ...

Re: Has living in Cambodia become 'normalised' for you?

Of course. If I did anything in the west like I do here, I likely go to prison for the rest of my life. That's what separate what's normal for the west and what's normal for the east. It like Oil and water. Both cultures dont mix. What could you possibly do here that isn't a problem but would get yo...

I never worried about becoming normalized here because as soon as that feeling enters your mind, the KOW has a way of kicking you in the head and reminding you you're pretty far from anything "normal" here.

Re: English Teacher GARY SMITH seems to be Homeless now with a Broken Leg in Phnom Penh

I know Gary Smith. Seems like he's lost the plot. He needs emergency treatment. Can't someone get him to the embassy? Ask for emergency repatriation?

Re: Yellow fever vaccination

I received a yellow fever vaccine in Phnom Penh about 10 years ago. The place I went was next to Calmette hospital. You'll get a yellow booklet after receiving the vaccine. I traveled all over West Africa with it. Always had to show it on arrival at the airports. This place here says it provides Yel...
