A dry election
Re: Booze
So that means I cannot have an opinion?
Re: Booze
You can, just like Cambodians. All opinions fine, let a hundred flowers blossom.RedBull wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2023 7:19 am

Re: Booze
Me, as a foreigner, being under the influence of alcohol won't change anything about the Cambodian elections. If Cambodians are it actually might affect it. Big difference if you ask me.
Re: Booze
Don't worry, you will find your booze. Nobody really cares about those regulations, you will find many back doors open and if you want to drink at home buy a few cases in advance. In fact, for many Cambodian men it's a chance to get wasted for three days in a row.RedBull wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2023 7:28 amMe, as a foreigner, being under the influence of alcohol won't change anything about the Cambodian elections.

Re: Booze
The law isn't there to stop people voting whilst under the influence, it's to stop political parties bribing voters with alcohol to vote for them = banning sales makes it difficult for the political parties to bribe voters.RedBull wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2023 7:28 amMe, as a foreigner, being under the influence of alcohol won't change anything about the Cambodian elections.

You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.

Re: Booze
I think its a silly rule (dry elections), but it is what it is.
One of the most depressing images I remember from the last election was walking into a bar on riverside and seeing about 15 middle aged blokes sitting around the bar all with white coffee mugs. Looked sad, ridiculous and desperate. Turned on my heels and went elsewhere for a feed.

Re: Booze
You had a point? What was your point? In just over a month since registering, you’ve demonstrated a particular focus on alcohol, an occasional negative view on Cambodia/Cambodians, and a dig at the forum membership. All in 27 contributions. Are you struggling with something? Something that maybe a week chilling out, sans alcohol might assist with?RedBull wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2023 8:10 amLol.

It's a forum about Cambodia.. What you expect me to do, write about Europe and the States?Freightdog wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2023 8:30 amYou had a point? What was your point?

I'm living here so I have to deal with Cambodian people. If I would be part of Russianexpatsonline I would be whining about Russians.
And btw, I maybe only posted twice about something that could be improved in Cambodia. And once about alcohol. What's your problem? Hurts to hear the truth sometimes? Maybe it's you who needs to get out of his Cambodian bubble and realize that there's different views except for the ones in the villages in the province.
