This wonderful example is I believe from Kampong Thom in around 1997: Yeap , living in kampong thom now and that’s where I saw them , n...

Re: Are people starting to become cry babies?

I'm surprised by the crybaby hysteria on the "stranded in Cambodia" Facebook groups. They act like they are going to die if they are not imminently "evacuated" from Cambodia. They complain that their embassies haven't sent a military(?) type rescue plane for them. When the embass...

Re: Foreign Tourists "Stuck" in Cambodia

I've been reading that stranded in the UK Facebook page and I am quite surprised by some of the hysteria. I thought the British had a "stiff upper lip" attitude to adversity. These people are demanding an immediate emergency evacuation from Cambodia like it's April 1975.

Re: Western Union problem

Stop crying and just collect the money at a different Western Union branch where the clerk isn't so uptight.

Re: American former Kampot and Siem Reap expat “stranded” in Suriname with Cambodian girlfriend and her kids

He means there's a currency shortage/crisis in Suriname and he wants to be able to withdraw his own money from an ATM. He's all over the place -- one day he just wants a tourist visa to the USA, the next day he wants immigrant visas. Any friend who says "I don't think they're entitled to visas ...
