Very quick and revealing investigative work there Marlowe. Smells like a big 'un to me too.gavinmac wrote:OK Tara. You'll learn that I'm the board's cynic, especially as to romantic matters. I hope things work out for you.
You say you only just "officially" got engaged, but you were posting on another Cambodia-related website back in March asking about paperwork/visas to marry him and take him to Australia. That would have been less than two months after you met him.
I also note from your NGO's website in your profile that your boyfriend was a tuk tuk driver living in poverty near Siem Reap when you met him. The NGO seems to involve supporting his village, and he now works directing the NGO's finances and distributing funds.
It's an interesting situation.
I came, I argued, I'm out

I'm not saying he's a bad guy because he was a tuk tuk driver, or that he's uneducated, or anything like that. The financial inequality can warp the relationship though, just as it is for Western men who marry bar hostesses.
I'd recommend that your NGO distance itself from the Cambodia Baseball Federation. It has a dodgy reputation.

Your boyfriend/ NGO co-founder is very handsome though. I say that with an unblemished record of heterosexuality.

But the main page of your website says:MissTara wrote:I cant comment on that NGO
The Cambodian Baseball Association/Federation is run by an alleged fraudster and nutjob, and if you collaborate with him, people may think you are a nutjob too.The SCC Project is a registered NGO (Non Government Organisation) based in the Village of Aranh, Siem Reap, Cambodia. Our project works in collaboration with KidsCare and the Cambodian Baseball Association.

Hi Tara, I am very familiar with the Siem Reap region. If you are seriously looking for an investigator on your fiance I can fill that role. You can read my post here http://khmer440.com/chat_forum/viewtopic.php?t=15708. As the link to my post says, I won't be in Cambodia till November. If he however, turns out to be a real dick, i.e. stealing the charity's money you only have to compensate for the incurred expenses during the investigation.MissTara wrote:I agree, can I hire you to check him out for me? What's your fee for investigative work? He's in Phnom Penh collecting donated exercise books and pens and pencils, perhaps you can intercept his bus.
