what I learned from Southeast Asia....

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.

the SEA expats mentality is to act HI-SO when your not , not the opposite.

I've been to Texas and if I were "transplanted" I would be grateful for it, not proud of it.

Nothing at all wrong with Texas, I have some good friends from Texas. If only it weren't so small though....

That's what happens when you are an uncultured and utterly ignorant bogan. It's your choice to remain so. Other people manage to get on with their lives by educating themselves and finding interests. Meanwhile you continue to visit places you have little or no understanding of while complaining about people you have never met or interacted with. Your world revolves around cheap beer and hookers and boasting about BS salaries. Check yourself mate, you are living a miserable existence. The good news is it's never too late to change.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I for one, admit to being a little slow; However, I believe I see a consistent click bait campaign here. Well done boys.
