Feeling a bit homesick?

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Its the perfect season to bring your khmer girlfriend for 90 days to your country, she will run back to the airport and board back to PNH within 30 days and never willing to come back. Problem solved !!

As someone who knows frostbite quite well, I do not particularly miss Europe. Except maybe for the online shopping 😁

If you take her to Brugge in December, with the skating rink and the lights, and the chocolate shops, and the lovely buildings and the horse n carts, and the nice food... she'll clean you out at the nearest department store buying wool and cashmere clobber with furry boots and a hat.

What ya gonna do then?

Honestly, Christmas in Berlin with those little cute villages they build and the German blonde girls serving oversized drafts.

That's actually maybe possibly acceptable once every decade.

There are a few places in Europe that are simply gorgeous at Christmas and if the weather is freezing and snow covered, all the better. As long as you dress accordingly, don't mind paying a lot for everything, and keep your trip to >7 days, it can be wonderful.

Living in an east London suburb, with pissy freezing weather and sullen ruddy wind-swept faces everywhere (that's just the women) - is not so wonderful.

For sure, as a novelty once or twice in a lifetime kind of thing. As a local you're just wandering around waiting to break your hipbone.

I'm happy to have learned to snowboard, to have watched the Aurelia borealis and to have had a snowball fight, and to never do that again lol

Bring her the the Khmer Temple in Minnesota and she might just stay there. And make you live there as well.

I got stuck once in Leverkusen,Germany in the snow when Heathrow Airport was closed for three days due to snow.

It was an absolutely beautiful and very friendly city in the snow,real chocolate box typical German medieval type place,I would love to return there someday at Christmas?

We were bussed in from Bonn/Cologne Airport which predictably didn’t close for a single minute,they had snow ploughs clearing the runway/s day and night with typical German efficiency!
