Expats needing a helping hand

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 have helped desperate people before who were going off the rails. Nothing I gave to them helped them in any way, it just extended their downfall a bit.

Someone please check up on my ex, I hear he’s not going so great since we split and I ceased financial support.

Well to start I have just started a job here in Phnom Penh, at first it was all great, coming over to a new country to work. But as time moves on, its really starting to get lonely and boring the longer i stay here. Is there any place i could possibly make some friends who generally speaks english ?

Best thing would be to find some expats with the same interests as you, so check out facebook. Start with PP Expats page and go from there. Check in here on the forum and see what people are doing. Some like tinkering with motors, others are saving cats. There are threads about what to do in PP.

Some suggestions. Take up Khmer lessons - if you take an evening class you'll meet expats and locals, and improving your Khmer will also improve your social life and make you feel more connected to the different culture.
Join a gym or fitness club. There is also the Hash House Harriers, which is a social club for runners that drink, or something like that, and you can also walk.
Good luck.

That's interesting and good information to know because I like saving motors and tinkering with cats.

I wouldn't advise any expat in danger of going off the rails to look for advice, guidance and life coaching at Sundance Bar.

I think rozzieoz was referring to the following post rather than the OP's post388665.html#p388665

hence those above expat hangouts and live music joints as suggestions.
