I made the ill fated decision to come to Cambodia some time soon right before Feb 20 and now that's looking a bit optimistic in the year. What's it looking like on the ground currently? How have thing changed where you are in Cambodia? Any stories about stuff happening since then in your circle of family and friends? The news makes it look pretty dire.

This forum has a lot of talk about long quarantines, businesses going kaput, and upcoming covid restrictions. I get the impression that the news is pretty on point. But at least it's not Myanmar.

Fair enough on Myanmar lol. I heard the stories of being locked inside apartment complexes for weeks on top of the two week quarantine prior. The guys saying not to come for now were spot on.

It is pretty dire. Fear has taken over for now.

Yeah tbh I'm a bit depressed about it all. Defeats the purpose of living here, lol. Can't travel, work has become pretty monotonous as of late, and not much to do since most things of interest to me are closed.

I mean it's not the end of the world, and I'm not that bothered, but it does suck. I think everyone is on the same page regarding that. You wouldn't have been able to enter the country without a proper job ligned up anyways. They're not about to start hiring teflers anytime soon, and there's a bit of a hiring freeze in most industries as you can imagine.

On a positive note, the traffic is light!
