Mike Carroll - Rainy Season

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.

I thought the old guy in the opening scene was half sleeping, perhaps showing signs of alzheimers
but he was actually penning this, um, opus

Is no one else going to comment on the girl? She's pretty um . . . well known.

It's got a nice tune. I'm not so sure about the opening line:
"There's a place -far away, there's a time when the sun don't shine - in the rainy season".
That's plainly untrue, it's sunny for much of the day during rainy season, and the odd deluge or overcast afternoon doesn't change that. :geek:
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Nice tune, and I enjoyed the singing.

Not sure why there's so much mention of her crying, and then none of that is reflected in the cinematography, but I can suspend my disbelief and just enjoy it.

Not sure why it's okay for some of you to sleep with the girls, but then allude to their "after dark" habits. Not very nice. So what? Let her have her moment in the sun.

She has been known to work in a hostess bar in Phnom Penh named After School. Cam Nivag had the name confused with After Dark. She's a really nice girl with great English skills and an even better sense of humor. I'm sure the last thing she would be is offended by any of these comments.

Many of us are aware....but we wanted to wait and see who among us here on CEO is the least gentlemanly...I guess that's you Cam. Well done :thumb:
