perhaps Neil has grown accustomed to the tighter accommodation of the Asiatic lifestyle and would be lost in the much more spacious interior of his prior shelter
wendy, I'm really struggling to figure out if you're a troll or not. But in case you don't understand, people don't like whiny foreigner travelers who complain about service in a poor country. It's not like your homeland has had a genocide or a superpower bomb the shit out of you recently.

I'm sorry AE86, but I must disagree with you. I think many of us expats love hearing foreign tourists/short-timers whine about our chosen countries of residence. Their stupidity is quite entertaining.AE86 wrote:wendy, I'm really struggling to figure out if you're a troll or not.

Glad to see you're posting again!
Because they generally stay in well appointed hotels that are good value for money and they like the climate maybe. Of course you could just stay at the Grosvenor Hotel in Blackpool England for 25 pounds per person per night for example?wendyaspinall wrote:
Windowless room with cramped, horrible toilet and showering facilities are very common in Asia, not to mention their shabby service and disturbingly horriblly crowded nasty environment.
Is unfair on us poor travelers that often have to put with their inhumane, substandard, cramped, uncomfortable accommodation just to experience a bit of their harsh aSia.
Why do people even bothered to waste thousands of dollars just to holiday in such exploitative, greedy inhumane, pretentious Asia?
The grotty exterior of the Grosvenor Hotel, Albert Road, Blackpool, which has been rated the worst in Europe. A spokesman said: 'It's hard to believe these absurdly awful places exist, and the fact that these hotels stay in business shows how easily good people get ripped off
No wonder Mark Aspinall is so desperate to avoid this dumb fuck.
Does anyone want to guess which nationality she is? She says she's not a Brit. I'm going American.

Unless you are referring to something that happened when I was away on holidays a few weeks ago, all that occurred over 40 years ago and is not to be used as an excuse for everything that takes place in the country. Ask a person in Warsaw in 1987 what their biggest problem was, and they would probably reply really crap TV, not WW2.AE86 wrote:wendy, I'm really struggling to figure out if you're a troll or not.

I'm surprised to see you criticizing Wendy for this.AE86 wrote:I think "wendy" has just fallen into the same cycle a lot of Khmer do.
1. Have a bad experience or two with someone of a different race
2. Get angry
3. Express your anger by declaring all people of said race are the way you think they are.
4. Never change your mind.
Not long ago, you had a bad experience with some Khmers and started a thread titled "Go to hell Cambodia" in which you "[e]xpress[ed] your anger by declaring all people of said race are the way you think they are."
AE86 wrote:Happy New Year everyone,
Hope everyone one is enjoying their holiday and having a better one than my family. The police have confiscated my brother in law's car, passport and all his family's papers and threatening him with prison time because he's "Illegal Vietnamese". Worse yet, the wife and her family is Khmer (but white) and is being "held" as an illegal Vietnamese as well. These fuckers, they don't even know their own people, how stupid do you have to be?
This country beggars belief, what the fuck is wrong with this fucking racist pigs... Fuck you Cambodia.

^^I never claimed not to be human and never let things get to me.
Also, having all your possessions confiscated because you're an "Illegal Viet" when you're a citizen is a slightly different thing than getting a cramped hotel room, don't you think?
And also my family has been here since 92-93 and has had more than one bad experience with Khmer people and anti-Vietnamese rhetoric over the years. You may recall one of our businesses being looted and burnt to the ground because "the yuon, the yuon!", you may remember the death threats they received and a few stand up members offered to house my wife and I so she would be safe, etc.
I'm not going to back down on calling those people racist pigs...they were, and I suspect still are. Not all of the country of course (yes, that was my mistake in branding it as such), but there is a considerable amount of racism still in this country that is apparent, alive and well, and it would be foolish to the point of endangering one's safety to think it isn't so.
For the record, I have enjoyed my recent stay in Cambodia and have met some lovely people. I don't say that with any sarcasm.

Well, you didn't just call the Khmers racist. When you previously posted as AK87 you railed against Khmer workers and generalized them as stupid, lazy, incompetent thieves.
You referred to the people of Cambodia, generally, as "shit."AK87 wrote:The vast majority (not blaming the biological person here) of the workers have been utter shit and unless beyond fuck all. Absolutely NO DESIRE about trying to do ANYTHING except sleep, steal, do the least amount of work possible and go home early. Wages, benefits (we offer them meals daily, free water, free room) and roughly 19 out of 20 of those workers (despite making double minimum wage), can not hold on to their job because they lie, steal, saying the dumbest things ("We'll kill the youns and take your factory", "When Rainsy comes into power, I'll get your car."), not show up, refuse to listen, or are just plain incompetent with things like putting rubber feet on chairs or tying a load down on the truck. Stupid shit like this day in and day out is what it's been like for 10 years according to my wife.
I mean, you're free to hate Cambodians based on your own experiences and bash them on Khmer440 and stereotype them all you want. As you have previously acknowledged:AK87 wrote:The people are the powerhouse of the economy, and when the powerhouse is as shit as it is, regardless of direction, I can't see a lot of Cambodia going anywhere.
I'm just surprised that, after saying "a lot of things against Cambodians that were directed in a hate induced rage," you would then turn around and criticize Wendy for doing precisely the same thing.AE86 wrote:Admittedly I said a lot of things against Cambodians that were directed in a hate induced rage.

^^I don't see a problem criticising someone when they're in the wrong, despite being guilty in the past yourself. That's how I know it's wrong!
She was wrong in the way she's branding all Asians (I'm not sure if she meant Asians or Cambodians) over let's be honest, a pathetic reason, just as I was wrong in giving into my hatred as well. And as a sidenote, I genuinely mean that about myself, I was in the wrong in doing so. You absolutely can not let hatred consume you no matter how justified you feel, because you (I mean myself) are not a perfect judge of any situation yourself.
It's why I've learned to let go my hatred for this country, because hatred closes you off to any window of forgiveness or change, and remaining in that state of mind is terrible for you and those around you. I know, I was there, as you probably could see.
To add, I am much happier seeing things for what they are. I genuinely like a lot of Cambodia now, whereas before I tended not to like anything. I found fault with everything, and I grumbled about it. Now I enjoy talking to people now (although I am still wary as I haven't forgotten what happened to my family), but I don't hold it over people I don't know heads. It wasn't an easy thing to do and I wont kid anyone in thinking it is, but it's absolutely necessary in order to stop the cycle of hatred in my opinion.
However, I'm no saint and I don't pretend to be...and I'll still criticise people when I think they're wrong.

It's all good.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
We're all on this journey through life together, and criticism and calling people out is necessary to move us forward as fellow humans.
So believe me when I say, I'm happy to be called out on things I've said and done. I wont back down, nor will I defend my mistakes.
