Re: Gender discrimination in employment practices

Serious question, and there's no spin on my question, but are there many male preschool and kindergarten kids generally, both in Cambodia and elsewhere? The only people I can think of who do that are women. We male preschool teachers are a rare species but we do exist. The international school I wo...

Re: Hey Buddy, Gotta Dime? Poll (of course)

I never lend money. But I give it on occasion. If the person insists on paying back then sure. If they don't, I considered it a gift in the first place, so not a problem.

Re: Is Cambodia a career killer?

It didn't hinder my career. It didn't boost it either. I worked in a (legit) international school in Phnom Penh. When I applied for a top international school in Singapore, they were more interested in what I had achieved as a teacher, the fact that I stayed for the length of my contract and that I ...

Re: Are You Really Satisfied Living In Cambodia?

I could never live here on a permanent basis again. At least not until my kids are grown. I used to feel differently, but the argument Gavin Mac made against raising kids here really sank in with me, especially after the little dose of reality I recently received. In California, early last spring, ...

Re: Sihanoukville. What a dump.

I'm actually in Paris at the moment visiting my mother. I love the city although I can't stay there for too long without getting fed up. But the food is so yummy, giant macaroons and delicious Paris-Brest cakes. I cagree with SP though. The Parisian suburbs are absolutely shit and you definitely hav...

Re: Fury as 'evil' British pedo to fly home at taxpayer expe

He is being deported from Cambodia after serving time for a heinous crime. Isn't it what most people would want? Taxpayers are not so much paying for his plane ticket as paying for him to be deported back into a country where he can be listed and monitored as opposed to disappearing in the Cambodian...

Re: What Makes the Expat Lifestyle So Addictive?

Initially it was to get away from my hometown. After a while you start believing that a new country will mean a fresh start, a new skin and being free of baggage. It took me a few countries to understand it doesn't work like that. Palm trees or snowy plains it doesn't matter, you can't change who yo...

Re: The next life, together

First, considering that at times the mentality on this board has leaned towards the 'rent a gf, marriage is for naive suckers' mindset, it is a nice change to have a post extolling a long term monogamous relation. Yes, long term relations are fraught with more difficulties than fleeting ones, but th...

Re: Fatboys

I love fatboys! It's my favourite burger place. I don't really think of it as fast food. To me fast food is food that's made, well fast. But in a place like Fatboys you will have to wait about 15mns for the food to be ready just like you would in most restaurants. If it's anything like the Singapore...

Re: 2 Destitute Brits Sleeping Rough Outside Embassy

I agree with you that, yes, societal influence especially in early years does have a big influence on who we become. I can appreciate that whatever background Nick came from would have had an influence on his moral code and his ability to make the right decisions. Where I think we will continue to r...

Re: 2 Destitute Brits Sleeping Rough Outside Embassy

Hemmers, how do you know who's to blame for unfortunate situations in which people find themselves? Have you never been in a situation where you have wondered why it has happened to you? No, I have not. I usually have a pretty good handle of why things have happened the way they have. And none of t...

He may have done some dumb things (haven't we all?) I know, right? Who hasn't pissed away whatever money we had on drugs and hookers at far side of the world without any safety net in place and despite having dependents back home? Well, the vast majority of people. That's who. There is a wide spect...

Re: are there any gamers here?

I realize that PCs are better, but i'm a big fan of the plug and play configuration of consoles. I had a Xbox 360 in Cambodia and switched to a PS3 and then a PS4 in Singapore. The PS4 so far has been underwhelming in terms of good games. The only one I somewhat enjoyed recently was The Order, but m...
