Did Cambodia make you or break you after a decade here?
Came as an 18 year old backpacker in 1998 for 3 months.
Moved here permanently when I was 23, wasted a few years but my partner kept me sane & alive. Opened a business in 2008. Child in 2012. New job last year.
Imagine I'll be here for the rest of my life.

Cambodia is alot easier than people make it out to be.
Almost too easy, that's why every other expat has a drinking problem becaue why get sober when the there is no reason to be sober.
The cost of living has been discussed and is possible on 400 USD per month.
Thats 100 USD per week
Thats 4800 USD per year.

It is what it is.
Break a few times and come out stronger.
I break but I spring back like a cartoon road runner now, comparatively speaking.
It is what it is and I like what I do.
Chicken... Nope.

I used to teach yoga, like deep fried tofu, Don't ride bikes anymore, and will probably skip insurance and not drive either. If I get croaked riding in a tuk-tuk, I will have lived a full life.

He means all the SJW mentality in cambodia nowdays.
It used to be opposite back in the 1990s and 2000s and late 2010s was a PowerShot sway from drug booz and cheap hookers

Which begs the question: how old was Pineapple in the 90's as he alludes to having been in Cambodia back then. Someone who met him mentioned that he is in his 30's. Pineapple, you came to Cambodia when you were 5 and partook in drugs and hookers? Really? Fark, you Bogans mature quick.

Some harsh comments on here. I think we all should remember that some people handle the stress of living in Cambodia with yoga, meditation and walks.
Personally, I handle it with sarcasm, beer and regularly telling people to fuck off.

I handle it with drinking 2$ mekong whiskey before 9 AM on a weekday.
That and a GSM hooker and my day is content.
