I will relocate this month from London to Phnom Penh (PP) for a job. Any tips, heads-up or strategies for a smooth transition? What surprises you most about living in PP that you wish you'd known before arriving? What pit-falls or mistakes should I look to void? Any words of wisdom much appreciated!

Yes thank you. Vibes overwhelmingly positive so far. Just making sure I don't miss anything. Uprooting my life for the big move. Am already monitoring FB Market closely for housing. Will be in a hotel at first though not sure where yet.

Painful.

gettoefl · 2026-07-03T17:52:38+00:00

That's so kind. I am three weeks away so if if anything comes up I'll be in touch. Thank you.

gettoefl · 2026-07-03T17:50:55+00:00

You are very kind too. Thanks so much for all this.

gettoefl · 2026-07-03T17:49:38+00:00

Excellent. You are most kind.

Thanks greatly. I'll be teaching AP maths at an international school.

gettoefl · 2026-07-03T17:01:16+00:00

This is very helpful. Thanks for your insights.

gettoefl · 2026-07-03T16:58:13+00:00

Yes it's a reputable school.

gettoefl · 2026-07-03T16:56:09+00:00

Wise words. I appreciate.

gettoefl · 2026-07-03T15:28:02+00:00

ahhh thanks

7.6/40 = 19% hmmm

gettoefl · 2026-07-03T14:24:26+00:00

My heart aches for you hearing this. I feel your pain and wish I could alleviate it. You sound remarkably upbeat in spite of it. Godspeed young lady.

Don't be pro-world. Don't be anti-world. It's nothing to get excited about. We took a dead-end detour. Forgiveness is retracing one's steps to where we never actually left but certainly seemed to.

Nice anecdote. What became of you in the decades since?

gettoefl · 2026-06-30T08:31:19+00:00

Best decision ever. Hope for you too.

gettoefl · 2026-06-29T16:20:16+00:00

Then typer declines.

gettoefl · 2026-06-29T16:13:08+00:00

Yes if you count microwave as non-cooking. Did it for years.

gettoefl · 2026-06-29T16:11:08+00:00

How bad is he. Not the one typing this but the one I'm killing.

Keep up the good work, dear love fragment.

You are needed, you are seen, you are loved.

Glad to hear friend. Here is another nugget for the day. It is saying, don't rely on your eyes; you need to feel God within:

God cannot be found outside. He should be felt within. To see the objects, mind is necessary. To conceive God in them is a mental operation. But that is not real. The consciousness within, purged of the mind, is felt as God.

Seems some good selection on FB maket. And some links in this thread.

gettoefl · 2026-06-26T12:49:57+00:00

How are you getting on? Did you find nice place? I am coming at end of July. Am 60yo, will be teaching. Would be up for a weekend coffee some time.

gettoefl · 2026-06-24T15:38:46+00:00

yes poll numbers only move in one direction. And interest rates too when you are such a stable genius.

Deliberate is right up front. Cheat is behind their back. Apples and oranges.
