If she’s willing to sell all her worldly possessions, and send the money via Western Union to bail the man out, then it’s genuine love for sure.explorer wrote:Most relationship problems could be solved if men dated educated girls with their own jobs, who dont expect to be given money. If she loves you when you are not giving her money, there is a much greater chance it may be genuine love.
Back to this most interesting thread about personal safety in Cambodia.
The good thing about Cambodia is that crime tends to be bag snatches, not pickpockets, not armed robberies, not random gang shootings.

Lidsville means that in Mumbai, Tiajuana, Cambodia (but Cambodia is not a city), or any major city in the US, you are certain to be car jacked if you are driving a car. Correct me please, Lidsville if I am wrong.

Re: I can not imagine Cambodia being any worse that Tijuana or Mumbai
I've been in PP for 6 months now - the GOOD: I love the cheap booze, very nice people, no guns, no crime, no Mexicans, cheap rents, fairly clean air, great cheap public transportation, lots of restaurants, very few power outs, easy visa shit.
The BAD; the food sucks and you must be careful what you eat and drink or you shit the place up, supermarkets have very little Western food, no mail service, can't find and buy large size clothes or shoes, electric is too expensive, noise is everywhere, traffic is insane and walking around the streets is to be done very very carefully.

I'm not sure what PP you are referring to. The booze is pissy, the people are very nice superficially, there are plenty of guns and Mexicans (Sanchez, who murdered a massage girl), rent in cheap areas is undesirable. I will agree on the electric, noise, and traffic though.

We traded empty streets and easy pedestrian days for stable electricity.

Re: I can not imagine Cambodia being any worse that Tijuana or Mumbai
In principle i agree. Though, if my wife is anything to go by, the better the job, and the higher their salary (or "commissions" they receive through their job) tends to lead them to be more careful with how money is spent and saved. For example... she always wants a $100 bill when i get paid even though she is in the process of a 6 figure transfer to my UK bank. Why? I put it down to the ingrained sense that the man must give the wife money... need doesn't come into it tbh.

Some of bag snatches can be quite violent, and people can be seriously injured. For example, people can be knocked over or dragged along the ground. Bag snatches are now occurring from people riding motorbikes. These people often get knocked off their motorbike while traveling at some speed.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 6:07 am The good thing about Cambodia is that crime tends to be bag snatches, not pickpockets, not armed robberies, not random gang shootings.

Re: I can not imagine Cambodia being any worse that Tijuana or Mumbai
That is certainly seen this happen on Mubbai, Tiajuana, and Cambodia (although Cambodia is not a city), to the point that the victim could no longer stand up. Lesson learned: do not carry a bag. Carry things inside your underwear, next to your junk. Safest place!explorer wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 7:40 amSome of bag snatches can be quite violent, and people can be seriously injured.

I went to Tiajuana 20 years ago. It was great.
Apparently it’s run by those cartel chaps now.

TJ is safe as long as you don't intermingle with the cartels, have a bit of street sense, don't flash any wealth and aren't out in the small hours. It's just like any other city with a pop. of 2mdavegorman wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 12:33 pm I went to Tiajuana 20 years ago. It was great.
