Initial impressions of Cambodia after a couple weeks.
Wow, insane traffic that has me concerned about walking or crossing streets. PassApp is fantastic. ABA Bank across from Aeon Mall 1 opened an account for me without me having a visa extension, nice peeps. Made the tourist visa mistake and had to spend $200 back to Bangkok round-trip – but my fault I should have read more here before coming. Good $9.60 wine from Italy at Aeon. Nice one bedroom for $750. People seem a little nicer than Thais – I had one dude at a street food place offer me a Vietnamese farm girl to buy or rent, I’m not sure which, this morning. I passed. LOL. Me likes a lot so far.

Actually you should have waited a month or year before you posted your first impression of Cambodia and at least met a few expats and then taken of the rose colored glasses.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Correct impression.
PassApp is fantastic.
Yes.
ABA Bank across from Aeon Mall 1 opened an account for me without me having a visa extension, nice peeps.
Yes, good bank.
Good $9.60 wine from Italy at Aeon.
Wine is very cheap here compared to Thailand, for example.
Nice one bedroom for $750.
Damn...not sure what you need or are used to, but I rent a 4 bed-apartment on 160m 2 for around $250
People seem a little nicer than Thais
Yes, very friendly, great people
Me likes a lot so far.
Good to see such positivity, and welcome!

Yes, but when you first arrive at a hotel and must vacate in a week you get rushed making a decision, I'll do better next time.that genius wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 11:49 amRicky Dunn wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 11:27 am Wow, insane traffic that has me concerned about walking or crossing streets.

Re: Initial impressions of Cambodia after a couple weeks.
Vlad, the young man was not submitting an assignment for you to mark. Where exactly is 160m 2, or should we take it that you reside on a long range Russian bomber?that genius wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 11:49 amRicky Dunn wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 11:27 am Wow, insane traffic that has me concerned about walking or crossing streets.

1. He may not be young
2. Not sure whence you inferred the ASSignment idea from
3. I don't post exact locations, too many gay bogan trashbags
4. I do reside on a long-range Russian bomber, 'The Kodiak Bear'. It costs less than 1% of what the F35 does.

Re: Initial impressions of Cambodia after a couple weeks.
Long haul, I'm almost 70, I can't afford America and hate it's politics and changing culture. Correction on the wine, I'm drinking it now and it's all in Italian, " Del Bortoli " but the fine print says Australia, LOLOLBob tailcat wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 12:30 pm How long are you planning on sticking it out mate?

Re: Initial impressions of Cambodia after a couple weeks.
It is normal for old men, such as my self, to refer to others as ''young". Indeed young Vlad that even applies to you. You seem even tetchier than usual this morning, hard night on the red?that genius wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 12:37 pm1. He may not be young
