Re: Do you have children? How many? Poll.
My guestimate is the derelicts can be counted among the few.According to the Department of Immigration, nearly 300,000 foreigners were living in Cambodia during the first half of 2023. During that time, the department issued about 280,000 non-immigrant visas. Nearly 260,000 foreigners applied for work permits through the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training.

Foreigners is not specific to westerners so those numbers offer little insight. That's in all likelihood mostly Vietnamese, Chinese and so on.newsgatherer wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 3:28 pmMy guestimate is the derelicts can be counted among the few.According to the Department of Immigration, nearly 300,000 foreigners were living in Cambodia during the first half of 2023.

I'll bet that the 12 million+ children in the United States who are food insecure would disagree. So would the 390,000 or so kids in the Unite States who are in the foster care system on any given day, along with the approximate 25,000 kids who age out of the foster care system every year who don't have anywhere to call home.
Before we start judging people for not having children and claiming we need more people in the world we should probably be taking care of the people that are here now.

Re: Do you have children? How many? Poll.
I fit into the 'A lot!' category, in that I have 4 'blood' children,2 Thai step-daughters whom I raised from birth (because their mad mother was .. er ... mad!), and 2 Thai nieces whom I raised from about 3 years old because their parents were shite-poor and were unable to care for their kids. The father is the brother of the mad mother (see above), and they were living in a one-bed bamboo shack that they built by the side of the road. I was living just down the road, so I became guardian of these nieces and they lived with me.
Sadly, the youngest niece died in my arms 2 years ago from TB that was undetected until it was too late But the 7 others are now in their 20's and doing well with college and/or businesses.

westerners, 10,000 at most
the rest between Japanese, Koreans and Vietnamese
when i used to live in Kep never got to the girly bars as when i was in kampot it was always before 2 pm, but they all seem concentrated in the old market area where the tents where, outside that 2-3 blocks, never saw any but did hear there were some over the river.

where any of them with you ?
having and raising a child thru 18 was a unique wonderful experience, but not easy as a single parent

You’re a fake and a fraud, stop inventing stories to make yourself feel important and relevant.
