My exciting quasi-adventure in Kampot
For a very different take on the expat experience to that of Gavinmac, check out James Giacometti's latest K440 front page article and witness an American man wrapped in the warm bosom of Khmer family life or as he puts it, "a neurotic and solipsistic anti-adventure."

he says he was "smoking apple-flavored tobacco in a pipe"...
are there more details - its a shisha?
where did he get the tobacco from and how much was it?
i came across a shisha-cafe, and they said they buy the tobacco in thailand, paying 120 dollars per kilo... (al fakher)...
thats triple price, at least...
if anyone has information on shishas, tobaccos (al fakher brand) and charcoal, pls pm... tia

I actually had a few cold beers with our Italian American buddy (and his absolutely delightful Khmer girlfriend) at Garage last night. It was a lovely evening. Jeff was on a roll playing some tunes and Jimmy's doing just fine although he hasn't sorted out home internet in his new apartment yet - which goes someway towards explaining his absence from K440.Starving Pelican wrote:...who never really posts these days....andyinasia wrote:Lest anyone has failed to twig, this is our in-house Philosopher, connecticuter
Anyway, he's signed up to do a series of K440 front page articles so that'll be where to find the wit and wisdom of Jimmy over the next couple of months. He tells me that most of the writing is done, but we'll stagger the pieces over August and September at biweekly intervals.

FFS you still alive Connie !
After a rather harsh introduction to Camb (and K440, ) you bounced back and gave all the indications of sorting yourself out and finding a place that suited you. Congratulations - it looks like you have found yourself a new home.
I do envy you the view though - Has she got a sister ?

I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

I ran into him a few weeks ago. At Swensen's ice cream. He was with his wonderful girlfriend and I was with 2 no-go's from Badoo.
Conneticutter wins. Quality, not quantity.
