Come back with some UN stats or something or buzz of, you are boring now
Nah i dont know it all but by accident i do know alot more of the place you living in then yourself.sry for bursting your baloon...it seems you desperate looking for company and bored i know not many people can handle it there for a long period....only weirdo's drunks and junks and the few good people that work low wages as teachers and the NGO moneymakers thats a fact and will be and is alredy been agreed with other posters who been there.

i have to say that non of the things i said you could counter just because its the truth sir.

All the best OP, live it up mate.
Neither, alas, is the case. I enjoyed my time in Cambodia, and I am still happily married.

Weird that you picked a post where I stated that I thought the blog author had a bit too extreme of a dislike for Cambodia to make your point.

Nice first post tho!

Re: Living in Cambodia and turning Pro

I visited Cambodia once, I have family living in Miami so took the bus and stopped over on the way. The first night I didn't know where anything was so I asked the taxi driver to take me to a bar, it was pretty good.. one strange thing is they had an Ostrich on stage with two men dressed up in leathers plucking its feathers, but everyone was enjoying it and I found after a few beers I fit in with the crowd. I ended up getting completely drunk and waking up in some guys place, didn't even know his name.. but later I found out he was actually one of the Ostrich pluckers. Pretty solid experience overall, would reccommend.

LOL there you go again, never mentioned a target, joked about myself turning pro and explained it was a life style change. And I actually enjoy internet poker for a few hours a day.

Looking on the brightside at this thread apart from the 2 haters everyone else has been very encouraging towards me and to Cambodia. So I'll be happy with the many and disregard the 2

Not weird at all, your post was dripping with sarcasm. You sound disappointed to have enjoyed yourself and are still married, that's a shame.

Gotta post sometime...and maybe it says something about your posting style, tone and general attitude that I chose to quote one of your posts. You are coming across as a bit of an arsehole but that's the internet I suppose.

Glad your still enjoying your wife's muff, respect

Re: Living in Cambodia and turning Pro

Hey Moki and Zigi, why dont you two friends go and blow each others instead of ****ing up this thread?

WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU FIND CAMBODIA DANGEROUS!!!!

FFS you are debating just because you just dont get it, even tho people try to explain to you over and over again. NO ONE ARGUES THAT CAMBODIA IS HEAVEN ON EARTH AND TOTALY SAFE!

GOT IT!?

Oh i agree totally, Lao is a very safe place for tourists. I did live in Vientiane for 2 years now i live further north.
But im not unaffected by crime. I own a houses/land/business and have things stolen regularly. Totally expected as per other comments regarding SEA/poor nations. That said i still love the lifestyle and wont be leaving anytime soon, and perhaps OP can find the same in cambodia.

Edit, i guess what im trying to say in my slightly drunk state is after all the problems and concerns listed, just maybe its worth the compromise.

OP: start a poker school for the locals to beat 10nl and you will be the town savior for helping them earn more than 45 cents per day.

Moki: appreciating a culture for being non westernized doesn't mean you're doing it because they don't have clean water and they're poor.
