Managing meals in Cambodia by Cheryl
Hello everyone, Managing meals day-to-day can sometimes be a real mental challenge, even more so when you land in a new environment, with different schedules, habits or ingredients. How do you manage your meal routine as an expat in Cambodia? We ...
Hi Cheryl. I guess there's not a lot of management I do for meals here. My partner does all that stuff and she enjoys the cooking for me I think. She buys food at local markets like fresh fruit and vegetables and meat and poultry and fish. Potatoes! ... Read More

If you could tell us if you are going to want a ER visa extension or what that would help. The ER extension is pretty easy if you are over 55. Under 55 you will need to document and prove your pension or whatever. You can get the ordinary visa when ... Read More

I don't know. Why not try online. I cannot see why you could not. Just visit one of the websites. See what happens before you leave. The online quote system is easy. I don't see why you could not do the work. Read More
Jobs where you don't need to know Khmer. by rebekahzilionis
How much Khmer do you need to work in Cambodia? Are there jobs where you don't need to know Khmer?
Hi. Just a comment on your areas of expertise. I think it would be difficult to find a position doing mental health work without speaking Khmer. Just my take. Have you considered doing online work or gig work? I have a Khmer friend that does social ... Read More
