They're cutting costs and selling their belongings to afford their .50c beers, therefore no longer have electronic devices or internet access...and when they are able to to borrow someones device and get some free wifi they post on Facebook asking for jobs as dishwashers.

Why do I get the impression that you're referring to someone specific!PSD_Kiwi wrote: ↑Mon Jun 29, 2020 3:46 pmThey're cutting costs and selling their belongings to afford their .50c beers, therefore no longer have electronic devices or internet access...and when they are able to to borrow someones device and get some free wifi they post on Facebook asking for jobs as dishwashers.
Starving Pelican Haha...wasn't referring to anyone in particular at all, but I have seen several posts from foreigners recently selling off all of their belongings, seeking menial employment, looking for affordable accommodation under $100 a month, etc. sad really.
Wasn't having a dig at those down and out, although it probably came across that way, these are tough times and I do have a little sympathy at this stage (just a little...I must be getting soft), but it just proves my point of how important it is to have a safety net, we never know what's around the corner.

I moved "out" at 15. By some miracle I was able to work full time at subway and do school. My first place was with some roommates who taught me how to apply to college and helped me get a bank account and my license.
I used to work a dead end job as an admin (just 2+ years ago!) working 12 hour days for a $1/hour a year raise. My car broke down daily and I would have panic attacks before I even got there because I was scared I would break down on the side of the road again. My phone got turned off a lot. I had shit credit too of course. No family support as my parents were dead.
No one told me to dream let alone dream big.
Then I got my dream job. It fell through because they hired internally.
Then I got my REAL dream job.
Then a house at 27.
Then a savings account.
Now I run my own company and my dreams are coming true.
Your situation is temporary.
Let the fire fuel you.
Good things are coming for you.
I am thankful for my privilege but dreams come true when opportunity meets your willingness to make it happen.
Keep dreaming.

Seems to be the Saffers having the biggest meltdowns on FB. Mostly the recently arrived. How's Vlad doin'?
most of you went back to your home countries...
some stayed on thinking their teaching jobs would come back...
I have noticed a lot of expats that die over here have families that try to raise funds on go fund me to bring them home.
a safety net can get a tear in it eventually.
Who would of imagined this pandemic?
I returned to Cambodia in January thinking I would spend the next 4 or 5 months relaxing and then get back to some unfinished business outside of Cambodia.
Who saved for the $3000us cash/credit card china virus upon arrival when they went back to their respective countries to wait out the pandemic?
I decided to just stay with my Khmer wife and hope my unfinished business does not become a massive mess.
I have an income and a bit of savings and feel lucky that I was not stranded outside of Cambodia.
I sure feel for expats who have loved ones here and cannot get back....

The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.

Vlad was last seen up at Russian market trying to get on a real man's 400cc Enduro bike with a small ladder....and failing miserably.

I hear farming is a safe option for white Saffers.
