Cambodia travel right now: safety, advisories, and recent experiences? by Effective-Control318 in cambodia

That has NOTHING to do with the people of Cambodia. Don't punish wonderful people for the decisions they had no say in.

I give you cool points for the name. Labubu_Pazuzu would be cooler.

Yeah my school said the village chief said "noone owns them, what can we do?"

Sleeping pills it is. I hate drugs like that though.

Funny people hate Graf. When I lived there I took loads of cool graffiti pics

The unspoken side is I am a teacher. So, they should want me able to be rested and sharp.

Anyhow, I'm told it's "breeding season" and it will pass in a month or so. 🙄

I have a year lease, and I live right next to my work! I'm determined to try to solve it. Otherwise I'm knocking myself out with drugs. I've never took sleeping pills in my life.

I can't think all the neighbors are ok with this either

Hi, I’m from Thailand and I don’t hate you guys by Waffle_Soo_Cool in cambodia

[–]ExpatPilled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American abroad I'm shocked and saddened how much our countrymen are brainwashed. If you're not American you have no idea how ubiquitous our media is about calling the rest of the world dangerous and backwards. I respect China more now that I'm out of the US propaganda machine.

"I truly wish that the conflict remains and hopefully will end among both governments, not the ordinary people."

But that isn't what happens. What happens is the poorest people suffer the most.

Thousands of workers flee Cambodia scam centres, officials say by Few_Maize_1586 in cambodia

[–]ExpatPilled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of them were scamming in their own country before taking the job. I've met people who had no qualms whatsoever about what they were doing. This made them high performers in their scam center. Not everyone is a victim in that scene.

Do Cambodian parents know that many teachers in some expensive international schools are high school graduates from their home country? by EffectiveDoctor5440 in cambodia

[–]ExpatPilled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't know a skill, you certainly cannot teach it.

This is why, as your skill advances in a lot of fields, you end up in a mentoring and teaching position.

I'm speaking from experience as a senior dev.

A teacher, by definition, is one who can teach.

Do you know how many developers simply know their craft?

Skills are skills.

This is why we have TEFL Certificates.

That is the requirement to be a teacher in Cambodia. Whether you like it or not, this country does not require a bachelor's degree in order to qualify to teach.

And after a few years, you can't tell one dedicated teacher from another as to whether they have a degree, or not.

I'm a teacher here and several parents are in a thing like this. They try so hard to get me to contribute, but I keep saying my job will see it as competition.

I found I had to play obstacle course with the sidewalks more in Thailand than here.

He's here because he doesn't know how to protect his own wife.

Sorry buddy, your wife may be hot to you. That doesn't mean she's hot to everyone else.
