The cold hard mean truth about Cambodia, by Splinter.
I've heard that the NGOs and charities here seem to value fund raising over all else, even any shred of morality they may have had at one point. But raising money through an auction held by a pimp for free drinks an a known den of prostitution is pretty fucking low by anyone's standards, isn't it?
Oh wait, it's the Rotary Club which isn't actually a charity at all but a collection of local business owners who help themselves feel better about all the daily dirt they do by donating 0.00000001% of their annual income to projects that they push to make themselves look better and thus drum up business.

I heard you're only here on the lam from the US. I hope you can manage get yourself deported soon, because you come across like a total cunt.

Unlike you, a true beacon of decorum and the pearl of your nation to be sure. Clearly that's why you ended up here in this prestigious place.Lucky Lucan wrote:I heard you're only here on the lam from the US.

The truth hurts.
I'm not an overweight racist reject, I don't get drunk on a daily basis and I don't whore monger. Clearly I must be a bad guy since I don't partake in all of these time tested pastimes that are so beloved by our local white male expats.
This thread only shows how cut off from society this bunch truly is. There's literally no community of respectable people on earth that wouldn't be shocked and appalled by a public "charity auction" for free drinks at a house of ill repute. None. What's next, a month of free bar fines to help the homeless? Maybe a month's supply of condoms and free stays at a guest house near Wat Phnom?
If you have any friends wherever you come from give them a ring and bring up the topic. See what they say. Better yet tell your mom to give your Christmas gift early so you can donate it to charity. See how she responds. It may not be too late for you to reconnect to society if you can pull yourself away from the cheap booze.
And once again you're absolutely wrong. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I came here because this is the only country in the world that sells visas out of motorcycle repair shops. I sold everything I owned, except the businesses which I left to family, and left my country in a whirl of deep depression after my best friend and some young family members had a fatal accident with my speedboat which I lent out. It was simply too much to take and my response was to flee to try and forget. I spent the first year here traveling the countryside and immersing myself in an attempt to forget what I left behind. It may not have been the best response but I'm not ashamed it. Are people proud of years of binge drinking and mingling with prostitutes?
I can go back anytime I want. I travel internationally quite a lot now and I just visited my parents in June, first class chubby. Your attempts to defame me fail because they are based on nonsense and because I don't give a rat's ass what any lowlife Westerner who fell so far in life that they ended up here thinks of me or anything else.

I know I'm at the bottom of the barrel. Why else would I leave the richest and most powerful country in the world to come to a place without a single functioning hospital or freeway?

For splinter to call Lucky Lucan 'shows' he clearly know nothing about LL. Chubby - LMFAO! I've seen more meat on a butcher's pencil.

I find if i do the binge drinking and mingling with prostitutes on my luxury speed boat, then pride doesn't need to get in the way of enjoying it. Sort of a socially acceptable and respected degenerate...a rock star, if you will.splinter wrote: Are people proud of years of binge drinking and mingling with prostitutes?
"I don't care what the people are thinking, i ain't drunk i'm just drinking"
You think you are special or unique? Most guys I know could live anywhere but are here by choice and not because they, as you put it, bought their visa in a motorcycle shop as they had no other options.I can go back anytime I want. I travel internationally quite a lot now and I just visited my parents in June, first class chubby (....) any lowlife Westerner who fell so far in life that they ended up here.
I'm having much more fun here than in the West, even though in the West my life was all but miserable.
As to your description of the bar and the auction, you're being ridiculous but worse, you don't even realise it.

I'm not any of those things either, and I visited my parents in July for three weeks. But heck, if it makes you feel better about your miserable self, then keep on fantasizing about people you know nothing about. Enjoy yourself living under that rock.I'm not an overweight racist reject, I don't get drunk on a daily basis and I don't whore monger.

It never ceases to amaze me that there is a certain group of people that seem to have the inability to grasp that moving to, or being posted to, a third world country could actually be a positive career move. They always seem to make the assumption that such people are "sexpat failures"rather than expat professionals. If one is working in international development or an international business of some sort one does not advance by "staying at home", but by building experience working on projects in third world countries. Young graduate engineers ''cut their teeth'' on infrastructure projects such as bridge building, road construction, and sinking mines, before rising to senior positions and later returning to similar countries in an advisory capacity often on bilateral aid programs. Similarly working in public health one cannot get experience in developing malaria projects, mass immunization programs or implementing health coverage plans by sitting in New York or London. I increased my professional standing immeasurably by working on bi lateral aid programs here. I have a few friends here that are regional managers for large companies and choose to live here rather than other cities in the region. One works for an international garment company, another is a regional sales manager selling agricultural equipment and a third works in international property management. All are positive career move positions.splinter wrote: I'm not an overweight racist reject, I don't get drunk on a daily basis and I don't whore monger.

The majority of expats here don't go anywhere near bars and are pretty much family orientated. They do their job maybe have dinner at each others houses. Go out to restaurants, finish their contract and go home. Others such as myself stay on because they like the place. When I arrived here in 1996 most of my contact was with other expats working in similar fields. I could live anywhere in the EU or Australia, but prefer it here. I like France and lived there in the south for a short while, however it is expensive and in Cambodia I can get similar food and wine, and IMO a better climate. Of course it depends on ones priorities, but personally I can live a better quality of life here than in Australia and for approximately half the price.
I think anyone living an expat existance is vulnerable to developing an excessive drinking problem and this occurs at all levels. Similarly most single guys and some married guys will end up in the equivalent of hostess type bars, it can be seen as both an occupational hazard and a perk. But such guys are on good salary packages and far from the ''no-hopers'' often depicted here. Of course such ''no-hopers'' exist but are very much confined to places like Walkabout and Golden Sorya Mall along with a few other places around town. I must point out that I have no issue with people hanging about in these places and I myself like bar hopping. The issue is with people that make the assumption that these type constitute the whole rather than a small part of the expat community, and in reality there is not an expat community per se but rather a collection of disparate communities occupying different social levels.

We're not here for the cheap booze or whores. How dare you say that, in a thread auctioning off free drinks in a whore house no less!
I came here because Third World countries where people live without sewage or electricity and diseases that were eliminated 200 years ago in the West abound, Donald Trump and Bill gates cut their teeth here, blah, blah, blah
I wonder where "a certain group" (i.e. everyone who is not a degenerate washed up old white expat in SEA) got their ideas?Mèo Đen wrote:And a shot there is only 30ml and not 50ml. So my double (100ml) costs $6 and 100ml would cost you $30, $5 more than a bottle of JWB here. no wonder I left Australia

For someone who ran away to Cambodia - as the only place that would let him in under the radar - after being part of the cause of death of a couple of people in the US, splinter sure does have a good opinion of himself.
But I can see why he is so angry. On the one hand he says he can go back anytime and travels regularly. On the other, he doesn't. The obvious question is why?

No, the obvious question is why my posts rile people up so much and cause them to immediately change the subject by deflecting to my supposed character, which they know absolutely nothing about. The obvious answer is that the truth hurts.
