I don't know how Stains can live in such dreadful poverty. Still renting an apartment and selling street cats on the internet at his age...tsk...tsk.andyinasia wrote:If you tarred me with the same brush I wouldn't object!stains wrote:I was actually poking fun at a certain former 440 site owner here Andy.

I guess by "fancy" you mean a step up from street noodles on 51 or fried rice. Possibly Lucky Burger.
If you drive a bigger and/or newer car than me/ a car with more parking stickers/ a car with RCAF/State/Police plate, you're worthy of my admiration/respect (according to most), you are Nouveau Rich/ Corrupt Scum or one of their whores (according to some); if you drive a smaller and/or older car, you're a loser
If you ride a motorcycle, you are a total loser and I feel like running you over, especially when you ride/look like a freshie boy/girl.

re the renting, it may turn out to be a wise choice (albeit self-inflicted) if the peasants revolt.
Selling kitties, I agree, but stains may have been taking the piss
Studying and moving up that way is admirable, just let's not get conceited about it, or forget the friends we made when we were at that level.
Anyone who knows what is going on here knows that progress is determined more by drinking buddies than by qualifications competency, and I'm not only talking about Khmers, so to hear someone boasting about his/her job is a bit pathetic.
If one's parents brought one up to look down on others, then perhaps one's parents were not exactly quality people themselves.
It might be interesting to find out who the crowd that brag/ condemn corruption and human rights abuses work for, might it not?

Ahh- I believe you did KIR but I'm buggered if I can find it...
Don't worry about me sport-I'm doing OK,and I'm only 56 btw.I can ask myself that same question now I'm in a different line of work and getting nearly twice the cash, far improved conditions of employment and enjoying a much more pleasant working environment.
Nothing fancy- but we call it home...

I wouldn't change my $170 2-bed for the world, only quiet place I have lived in in Cambodia, totally silent at night, aircon, cable, wifi, includes ground floor, mostly great neighbours, only nearby weddings and funerals get through.
stains, I believe you may be right, I think KiR did in fact post it.

Maybe a while ago. I've had a promotion since then. (Try getting a promotion at a Khmer-owned language factory....impossible. They'll bring in a half-witted cousin or a retarded nephew as a manager rather than promote a whitey.)vladimir wrote:stains, I believe you may be right, I think KiR did in fact post it.

I don't have drinking buddies - no time for 'em. They get bored with me when I can only rock up once a month. I work bloody hard.

JC, you're a qualified engineer iirc, in your field perhaps every appointment is merit-based, but we are talking Cambodian TEFLers here.
gavinmac, as usual you are generalising, puerile attempt.
But working for people you claim to despise, that you have criticised for human rights abuses, property theft, and myriad of other crimes, yup, that might qualify as greedy selling out. What do you think?
I'm not saying it's always a greedy sell out. I'm discussing how it happened. I'm not saying people can't do the work (although often they can't), I'm talking about how they got in.
And with TEFLers, trust me, it's usually networking playing a very significant role.
Narcissists may sleep better thinking otherwise, because Dog forbid their view of themselves is not based on truth.
Enjoy, Fanboys!
