Which will be higher

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.

Which will be higher

Post by Duncan »

With the Khmer New Year coming up soon , I am wondering which will be higher this time around. The piles of garbage in the streets or the smell.
This year I'm doing what the locals do best, getting out of town.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Khmer New Year is unlike water festival which a lot of people from the province come to the city to see the boat racing and wandering the city. Most of people in phnom penh will go to their home town or other places during khmer new year. City is gonna become so quiet.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Except for blocking off the street by me and placing big loud speakers, pointed in my direction, then playing music until well into the early morning while kids from 2 years old to 20 years old '' dance '' and the Cambodian man on the mic says,, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, ONE, TWO, THREE, ONE TWO THREE. MOY, BPEE, BAY, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO.

Been there, done that, Samouth,, Enjoy your quiet city cause I'm not hanging around.

I want to go to Siem Reap this year, but I think it will be crowded. And the town must be so quiet :(

Not really, I just don't like crowded, maybe I had better stay home with my parents in the quiet city while other children go out of the town.

Get a case of beer or a bag of weed and just do.... Nothing. If you work hard, this is the best holiday.
