I have 5000 Cambodian riel

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

someone who is qualified in a trade that requires manual labour, mainly construction
a skilled labourer is someone like a bricklayer, carpenter etc
a standard labourer is the unqualified bitch/teaboy that stacks out the bricks/mixes the cement, and does most of the actual labour and running around
groundworkers etc are also just classed as labourers although i think i heard they are now doing collage courses to become a "skilled groundworker"

i earn twice as much in the UK for half the amount of hours compared to when i was working in Australia, thats why i fucked off after 9 weeks

$30 per hour is fucking shit wages, i wouldnt get out of bed in the UK for that, i do Price work

England i work from 8am-2/3pm - £2-300
Australia i worked 7am-4.30/5pm - £120

that was in Melbourne though, the Prices in Perth seemed a lot better, cost of living i think is higher there though so swings n round abouts

You never reply when I, and others, ask how long you actually spent in Cambodia/Vietnam/Thailand. I suspect it wasn't long at all. And negotiating the price of a pineapple does not constitute "working with Khmers".

Just ran this through Googletranslate, but strangely enough they are unable to detect the original language.
Not sure that this is any better ? :shrug:

Simplified translation : Its always shit where you are, and better where you are not.
