Angry Western Vagrant Cooks Carrots & Threatens Stabbing on Street 172

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.

Is "cooking carrots" a slang term I have never heard or is he literally cooking carrots?

No idea who he is but let's remind ourselves that we're now three months into an ongoing global pandemic, schools are still closed and it's still very difficult / expensive to leave the country. I would expect there are many who were laid off at the beginning of all of this, thought they could survive on their meagre savings for a while until it was all sorted, couldn't get employment teaching online and are now starting to feel the full impact.

If his story is something similar to that he has my full sympathy.

He has been living on the street for at least a year. Doesn’t seem to struggle for money too much. I believe is is Finnish (definitely Scandinavia).

Always has a new bottle or two of whisky everyday, normally a clean change of clothes, usually sits in a bar or on the street causing no issues.

Seems to be more of a drinking/mental health problem than a money problem imo.

I expect many more stories like this in the coming months. I also think we will see an increase of visa over stayers, guys will pay their rent before their visa.

I think I see actual carrots, lol, but it would be a great term for something nefarious.
