Re: What's the most important lesson Cambodia taught you?
I met some truly wonderful educated Khmers when I worked for a year before I left. After years of doing nothing. I should have been working all along. And it was the best job I ever had in my life and gave me great self worth.

You have no interest whilst taking the time to make an emotional post... right...Singapore Slinger wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 8:22 pmOh the irony you seek to berate me telling me it's not all about me then accuse me of talking to you like a 12-year old child?Pseudonomdeplume wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 4:44 amIs that how you talk to people.

I don't think I ever had a self-loathing day in South-East Asia?
If someone opens, saying they have bad days, it is bad skills to reply, "I never have bad days."
It's not all about you.
I think a long,hard look in the mirror is required tbh,I can say I have honestly never had a bad day in South-East Asia whenever and wherever I like I certainly do not require your permission for that.
Please don't waste my time responding aggressively any more as I have no interest in your provocatory remarks at all.

Haha, obscure, but also true!

Why about lending him the spare one? That way your immediate situation is unchanged, and he will be on call if you need the spare. Remember, that you are offering it for use, so stipulate clear conditions and terms, or prepare for the worst. I just feel some things need to be considered, to ensure a smooth transaction with no retractions.Doc67 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 11:51 amYou can borrow this, I have a spare one.Grand Barong wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 10:33 amphuketrichard wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 7:51 pm As bad as Thailand ever was, i learned there is always somewhere worse>>

Re: What's the most important lesson Cambodia taught you?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for throwing accusations around - I send PMs to the Moderators (had a lower case "M" before editing) claiming you are all Trolls, on a weekly basis - but if he's a Troll, he's been in the closet a while, and actually confronts Trolls which, as I have documented to the Mods (we're pretty close), could be a territorial thing. But not in this case.Grand Barong wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 10:33 amphuketrichard wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 7:51 pm As bad as Thailand ever was, i learned there is always somewhere worse>>

Re: What's the most important lesson Cambodia taught you?
That I am handsome and a sexy man. I have been told on many occasions, confirming the facts, and in some cases, my newly-realised beauty, has caught members of the opposite sex off-guard, to the point where they have literally announced my fortunate aesthetic qualities, from across the road, for all to hear.
I must admit, at first, I was uncomfortable with the praise - everyone that has known me has never told me, although, I had a feeling I was in the top 10 of my rugby team (not 7s! Jealous much?) - but now, I make an effort to approach the fans (usually with a laboured slow jog with exaggerated hip swings, I have been practising), and thank them personally, and explain that I would only break their heart, unintensionally, because virtually all the girls treat me like a piece of meat, which hurts, other guys are obviously envious.
The latter doesn't worry me, now that I have fitted wall-to-ceiling mirrors in my apartment.

To stay away from most ex-pats in Cambodia. A stranger collection of liars and losers, one will never see...
