Response to a couple of comments

Of course I dont understand her when she blabbers in Khmer - the one phrase I have mastered is of course "I dont understand" - knyom min yool dtay - but what man ever understands a woman even when she is speaking the same language? - this way at least I have a legitimate excuse for ignoring her - it is all too believable that I didnt realize she was speaking to me - her english is improving with practice - obviously - and i am steadily picking up a Khmer phrase per day (the previous is of course more than a little tongue in cheek).


yes - could live here very comfortably and very cheaply for a long time - possibly will do eventually - the Thai condo may end up just being an investment - after a coupl;e of years I may put it on the rental market - the upscale areas in PP are very upscale - gated communities and nothing les than a Lexus gets you in there - not sure thats my style but a place like the one we are renting - maybe in a newer building - occupying the top 2 floors and renting out the shop floor below would be nice - enclosing and airconditioning it all would all be less than 100K - the catch in Cambodia is property has to be in Khmer name unlike Thailand - not ready to trust that far any time in the immediate future - have heard way too many horror stories and I didnt just fall off the Durian Truck.
