news at the moment

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.

Just posting a note of appreciation for

Progress and Achievements of TECHO100-Villages Project

That’s the sort of thing I like to see. Potentially useful too for any entrepreneurs on here.

It came up with the words "foreigner quarantine" in the search option. Magic.

Shame they took down the video of the police using the fishing net to take down a guy refusing to get tested and go to quarantine.

That "gavinmac" fellow or whatever he goes by here, used to write some interesting original content on TOF - he seems to have a lot of time on his hands, and it was good stuff too, IIRC.
He's hated here so don't say that or you'll be banned.
He could have been a great member of CEO. But he gave into his dark side. He just stirred things up for sake of causing chaos, attacking members, and coming back as socks (puppets) to continue making trouble.

The key word is USED TO. Something happened to him and he snapped for whatever reason. Hope he gets help and returns to sanity.

Next time you see that can you please save it? I was amazed by the gladiator style weapons employed recently, but at least they aren't shooting anyone in the head.

He's fine, he does like to stretch points but he just does that stuff for giggles. I had a big online spat with him recently but I ran into him in person last week and all is fine. Arguing on the internet is amusing, real life is different.

^ I don't think that Gavmac is hated, he just trolled here once too often and derailed a lot of threads so he got called out.
No biggie. Most posters here are capable of posting on both forums without stirring up shit. It's called behaving like an adult.

Of course. A paid membership has it all.
