Living well, cheap

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

So both parties learn a lot from each other.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Hey Richard, you actually learn a lot from those videos and pictures. You learn that the traffic in Cambodian is really bad and there are so many stupid drivers and they are really selfish. So, you are more careful when travelling in Cambodia.

no not at all, its a valid point, it raises awareness, espeshially to those that are less educated, even with my western upbringing, seeing all the vids and pictures i do certainly makes me more aware of the roads out here :good:

My ass thought that i could drive as fast as I want if I paid attention. Khmers don't pay attention so I was correct. Attentiveness, if that's a word, doesn't matter when you're flying down the center of a traffic jam at 80km an hour and another moto pulls out trying to do the same thing as you.

I didn't read the whole thread but reading the title, I can't help. I'm giving my cousin 100 a month to make sure I get three meals a day. Some days I'm not home, but its not her making me meals anyways. I'm rambling now. Woot.
