Been here 5 days. Ripped off from all angles. Spent $6 getting to and from a job interview that didn't even happen this morning. Feeling isolated. How can i meet people who speak English?

Where are you? There's not many people in Cambodia who speak English and hardly any foreigners so it might be very hard to find anyone to speak English with apart from on the forums

People from England? Don't know. Maybe Rehabb Pub after 5pm?
English speakers of various nationalities and open right now: Red Fox Bar; Lone Star Bar; Kandal House; Rising Sun; any of the happy pizza places on Sisowath; and just about everywhere on street 172 between streets 13 & 19 (Blue Dolphin/Fine; Dolce Vita; Laughing Fatman; Aroma Chef; Sonny Side Up; etc.)
Hope your day gets better!

You are in danger of morphing into John Bingham aka LL, with this type of comment.

Create a YouTube channel and just be yourself. Pretty soon you'll have a cult following.

Beware the water festival; there's a local sacrifice of an English person each year at this time and "friendly" forum dwellers often try to lure an unsuspecting victim into town at this time. Being crucified on 172 isn't quite as funny as it sounds...

Score Bar is often packed with westerners, espeshially if theres some sports on Football/Rugby etc

im sure if you hang out on the forums you will make some new friends, Chkwoot has also mentioned a lot of bars to check out

Why come all this way to hang out with people you would otherwise avoid back home?
Bar girls speak English, get your wallet out

How did it go? Meet anyone interesting without getting ripped off or an STD?

You must be in a border town yes. No jobs at the casino's now as all the Chinese run away back home!
Don't worry, bare with it, the first 10 years are the hardest!
