Foreign Women Posted Picking Up Trash in Siem Reap

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’d go for the bull dyke chick with the nips rocking the Viking vibes.
damn, that's a little rough. Too bad I don't see your picture. you go pick trash for hours as someone on a holiday in Cambodian heat and see how handsome you look, bro. I bet she looks damn hot cleaned up and dressed because she looks pretty good dirty and sweaty.

Maybe they could pick up some trash around my village too, as it's far filthier than that river, which actually has employed cleaners...
maybe you should start cleaning your village tomorrow rather than criticize and surf the net.
Still here, in country...

That doesn't hold any weight. And if it did it would make observations (or criticism if you want to call it that) obsolete. bet u couldn't do better. Huh? I have shouted at Lionel Messi on TV for missing a sitter. bet u couldn't do better. No I definitely couldn't.

I don't feel it is sexist to have a harmless joke (that they will never hear) about which one you would do either. I am a man they are women. How is that sexist?

Sexist would be - 'Oh look, 3 birds doing the only thing they are useful for. Bit of cleaning up! lol.'

fyi I wouldn't do any of them. I have an acute case of yellow fever.

Thailand and Australia were litter infested 30 years ago.
Education has changed that now to a great degree.

All about the money for the council again, just like the speed camera issues.

Real Khmers show their pride by drinking a can of Angkor then tossing it out on the side of the road. All while wearing a ‘I love Cambodia’ shirt, of course.

It’s like the motorcycle helmets. The country can educate all they want and nothing will happen. Give the police a new money making scheme, however, and then watch the trash disappear.

Maybe I should! ....Maybe I already do! Maybe you should read between the lines instead of taking sarcastic criticism of serious issues literally, though. It would show your intelligent side.

After sharing the pictures on social media, many Cambodians thanked them.
Khmers thanked the girls for cleaning the city and began to continue to throw garbage on the side of the road.
I was thinking exactly the same.

I am going to invite these women to join the forum. Hope that's okay.
