You know you’ve been in Cambodia too long when...
1) You get upset at the car/moto in front of you for not running the red.
2) Durian starts to smell good.
3) You’ve has conversations comparing which parasites, etc, you’ve had.
4) You actually ask for ice for your beer.
5) You question why the beer is $3.

2) Definitely no, not even after 23 years in Cambodia and Vietnam.
3) No.
4) Heresy.
5) I seek out the $3 places; guaranteed to be soap-dodger and sexpat-free.

Oh, I drink beer with ice if I have to, but I am not going out asking for ice.

The day when durian starts smelling nice, will be the day when I've been here for too long.

You wake up and realise that you are still in Cambodia.
The Aussies I hang out with know the beer is warm when I put ice in. As Hanno says; heresy.
1) You don’t flinch when a moto backfires or a cement truck blasts its 400db horn. Just mutter “Wanker”.

Actually, when I don't get the ice with my beer, I ask for it. Takes care the liquid stays as cold as possible at 0 Degrees and thirst-quenching.Hanno wrote:...Oh, I drink beer with ice if I have to, but I am not going out asking for ice.
15-16 Years ago, when coming to Cambodia for the first time, I considered the Cambodians stupid to delude their beer in such a derogating way, though gradually I started to appreciate the ice more and more.
