I could own and run a cannabis cafe for sure.
You seem to have resolved the misgivings you had about pot earlier today.

The guys at Baccara bar on 118 seem to be able to run a tight ship. William on 130 keeps it together. It can be done.

How does you translate 'running a tight ship" or 'keeping it together" into being a thriving, successful business? Being in business is one thing.....
You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.

Chat GPT style FP and no more interaction by the OP.

It appears that AI knows what Cambodian expats likes to converse about. The horror to have all this knowledge yet being unable to sit down for a cold excuse of a beer.

Being human still has its merits.

Like posters said, if you wanna be surrounded by hookers and their problems just take 2 months off every year. Its cheaper and healthier. Im sure you"ll get bored after one month.

I appreciate all the advice, snipes and banter! Plenty of all. I have indeed been to Cambodia and Thailand. I'll let you know if I make the leap but still have a lot to think about.

Cheers
Jo
