    Decided to do something productive with my gap year, so I came to teach English in rural Cambodia.

    what's to work out? just provide a phone number and city as your address, and one day someone will call you and mutter something unintelligible and you say "TELEGRAM... TELEGRAM" and then they telegram you to ask where you are and you send your location and then they show up with your grand piano on the back of their moto and ask for a mystery extra delivery fee.

    You mostly nailed it 😂 only issue is my local branch just immediately gives up and hangs up on me when they hear me speak any english. I message the number on telegram and they leave me on read. Later ill check tracking and itll say that it was sent to warehouse because “im unreachable”

    Violet is an expert in handling packages. You're in the right thread.

    She's had several accounts. Ever so often she deletes her account and drops out for awhile. Then awhile later another account with "violet" in the name crops up.

    When she's here she posts tidbits of her sexual escapades every so often. Some folks things she's just trolling, but her posts don't come off that way to me. She helps keep it interesting around here.

    I was over there for 3 weeks couple months ago. I left because its too hot.

    Be careful on the roads, I saw so many guys drop bikes in intersections, with an unhelmeted child in his lap, and one time pulled a guy from a truck wreck, I got there on my bike before anyone else, no idea if he survived. My friend came across a fatal accident in his bus too.

    Thats wild. Ive got the motorcycle license for over 125cc ive only seen 3 accidents. All minor though. Riding here is a completely different game than riding in the US. Ill admit its a little fun.

    Yeah no I'll take a bike in SEA over a car in the US any day. I have never once seen road rage.

    I did have a bunch of minor accidents when I first started, learning stuff like "green does not mean you're safe", "chickens are suicidal bastards", and "do not move behind a heavy truck on an incline at a red, it might be driven by a 14 year old who doesn't know to put the ebrake on".

    Also there is no real direction of traffic or lanes. You drive on the side of the road thats available, not legal.

    Driving kinda aggressively seems to be the safest way because if you’re passing everything you dont have to worry about whats behind you and yes red lights are optional.
