now the other side of the story

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.

Giving when they have very little for themselves.

Sharing food, without hesitation. Its like they are programmed to never eat alone.

Genuine, wide smiles.

The love of a good party with dancing.

Shameless Inquisitiveness. And why not? you want to know what's going on? Go and get a closer look.

Their skill at deflecting leading questions.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Their resilience under adversity.
Genuine smiles.
The young ones who have little more than a pair of black pants, a white shirt and the knowledge that good customer service is the key to lift themselves out of poverty.

Haha that's not a trait of Khmer people generally. That may be a trait of one Khmer person you know.

what do you think are the best traits of Khmer people?
The ability to make a fun and (very, extremely) loud party out of everything (both positive and negative things that happened to them).
The friendliness, I walk my dogs every day and still get the same friendly hello's and how are you's every time from everyone I pass..
just noise, white noise

Perhaps I hang with a better quality Khmer than you choose to. Perhaps you have spent little time on the LOS where getting any service staff to acknowledge you and put their cell down for a moment is like pulling teeth. Perhaps you have an expectation of service that far exceeds what you are willing to pay for.

I haven't been here for a while, isn't it possible to downvote anymore?
