Corkman42, if you want to help others, you could post more specifics about your ordeal. Like: Where are you staying and how much is it? How are you getting around town, and how much are spending? Where are you eating, and how much? Etc. Also, where did you get your info about teaching here? I just did a quick search and found this:
http://www.teflasia.com/region-guides/cambodia/.
Meals
Budget meals are US$0.50-2.
Mid-range for US$2-5.
High for US$6-10.
Deluxe for US$11+
Accommodation
Overnight
Budget: US$2-10. In Phnom Penh head for Boeung Kak Lake, the local equivalent of Bangkok’s Kao San Road. Low end accommodation is not quite as readily available in Siem Reap.
Mid-range: US$10-45.
High: US$50-70.
Deluxe: US$70+
Long term
For around US$100 a month, you can get a 2 bedroom apartment with kitchen. Prices are higher in the centre of Phnom Penh and in Siem Reap where demand is higher.
Houses are large and easy to come by, often starting around US$300 a month. A one month deposit is standard, although more may be requested. Estate agencies will assist in finding accommodation.
This info is obviously quite dated as Boeung Kak Lake is long gone, and so are those rents.
Maybe sharing and helping others understand the realities of finding a teaching job here will help your karma and the universe will smile upon you... or some other bollocks.
Good luck!
