If this is the level of discourse that you regularly deem necessary with your Khmer girlfriend, then I would have expected you to have had enough foresight to conduct these relevant and quite critical preparatory conversations prior to your trip. Not in some busy train terminal with her head already spinning from the experience of it all.

You know, like a father would have with their 5 year old prior to even commencing a big trip.

I'm mildly appalled by your cavalier travel preparations regarding your partner.

Regretfully I have not any insight to add to your query, as the Khmer females in my social circle need not be spoken to like a 5 year old and are for the most part, university educated, young, urban professionals.

Good luck!

So its ok to put shit on someone who you obviously believe to be inferior to both your level of intelligence and social group?

Whatever happened to positive support or constructive criticism?

I have no social group. I'm a hermit.

Was a response to brody not you.

Many people on CEO make statements about their experiences and , as you did, ask for feedback. Some offer witty comments, some constructive advice or criticism but some just like to shoot the shit out of the OP or posters and show their dickhead traits.

Oh come on now. Cam Nivag is not a snowflake and can take his share of ball-breaking.

I'm just thinking about the Khmer girlfriend in this equation. Someone should.

She was woefully unprepared for this journey and CN should be taken to task for it. He did, after all, admit to only being able to communicate with her at the 5 year old level.

For all we know if CN had gotten trapped in that train and was hurtled down the tracks to a far away station, his flesh companion would have been pitifully bereft and at the mercy of cruel fate.

For all we know a malevolently opportunistic scumbag could have stepped in and she'd now be wearing a hijab and scrubbing toilets somewhere in Riyadh.

Mrs Stroppy (who is Australian) and I always plan in case we get separated during travel. We both check each other's passports and boarding passes at each step of a journey, and ensure we know what to do next if we lose the other person.

We have a guy called Brody at our apartment complex, he is a real fuckwit too. Although the Brody on here sounds more like a snob. I think even an educated Khmer urban professional would spin out if she lost her partner in a foreign country.
I worry a little about losing Khmers at airports. We were wandering around Singapore airport recently and I made sure that the phones were all on the airport wi fi. I was surprised that on the Smart sim we seemed to be roaming automatically.
Anyone should obviously have the hotel card on them. I remember years ago meeting a barang roaming the streets of PP because he had dropped his bag at the hotel and didn't know the name of it or where it was.
PS-I only just realised who cam nivag is...

Being the born worrier, missus was prepared for Singapore. Could pull out her subway pass faster than I could mine. Memorized all the routes, hotel, plane flights, etc.

She’s more accurate than iPhone tracking. Her antennae knows exactly where I am at all times. At work, at home, in the shower, on the toilet, etc.
