what I learned from Southeast Asia....

This is a part of our Cambodia forums to chat about anything Cambodia-related. This discussion forum is at the top of our site because it's usually the busiest part of the expat community chatter with random topics on just about everything, including expat life, Khmer politics, Cambodian blogs we have or have come across, or whatever else our members want to discuss. Whether you're an expatriate, tourist, Cambodian or random traveler just passing through South East Asia, you are welcome to talk about anything or start new topics yourselves.

You're wrong about 90% of the rest of the expat community that you didn't encounter! :D

 Focus on the topic and not the comments!
Crowing again. Directions for finding Texas from the northern US. Walk south till you smell it and west till you step in it.

 Having a Rolls Royce does not necessarily make one a wanker.

Perhaps not, but I suspect there is a strong correlation.

Leave 'beerinthemorning', alone. Don't ban him if for humour alone.

In response to his opening post, I think he speaks from his own POV Which probably means hanging out with other Westerners doing what he's doing and passing time living on the cheap. In that respect he's likely to experience a warped sense of reality., possibly forgetting that maybe Westerners that live in SEA are probably happier with a simpler, non competative, stress free lifestyle.

On top of that until you get some decent actual facts to base an argument on its all ass umptions... :tophat:

Yes, because your perspective is from the same bar stool, drinking 50-Cent beers. Most expats I know will not go into these bars but obviously a chap -sad sack like you will never meet them.

What’s wrong with Texas? Transplanted Texan and proud of it. In the KOW, bragging about how poor you are (tell the locals you collect cans for a living) seems to be work better than anything. Even the jaow walk the other way when they see me (joking!).
