Been here a week. What an overpriced shithole.

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.

Name some places for context.

I have never paid $6 for fried rice. Like Jamie said, it’s $1 from a khmer place and maybe $3-4, at most, at western restaurants. Where did you eat? Raffles or something?

Also name the haircut place. The most I’ve ever paid is $5 and that’s expensive considering I just get my head shaved every month or so.

The cunt charged me $8!!! In the states have never paid more than $6. Note the photo. This is what you get for $6.50 at Burger King.
Why spend $6 on fried rice or junk food at Burger King :? - when you could have had salmon sashimi for $5.60 ?

Prawn cocktail for $6

Or smoked duck with salad for $6

Yong,,, It's your turn to comment.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Blame your own lack of knowledge and/or lack of ability to negotiate.
