Cambodia is plagued by pedophiles, criminals, cheap sex addicts and a few NGO workers.

A horrible fate for a great country to have to deal with.

So how long were you there for? Have you ever lived there?

For a Christian you're extremely judgmental. Why is that?

Judging from the title under your author's name, you state that you dislike Koreans.

You will find the Khmers to be much more easygoing and pleasant to deal with, but don't kid yourself, we are still foreigners in that country. I've lived in both countries and would return to Cambodia in a heartbeat, if it were not for the low pay in Cambodia for native English speakers.

Anyway, ignoring the usual idiots' responses above, I can guarantee that for a taste of the real Asia Cambodia is the way to go. Korea is not Asia; it is a plastic Americanized copy of a lite Japan.

Go Asia, go Cambodia.

You have obviously been on these forums for a very long time, yet you are using a sock puppet that you have only created a few days ago to be arrogant and distastful to others on this board.

Most people who are teaching in Korea do not know Chinese, and the few that do have not a clue about 'the four tones'. You smuggly suggest to ghost to 'read your sig' and then proceed to insult him and start the childish practice of name-calling.

Just why is that? Did you create that account simply to troll? To break the rules of these forums? Why the game of smoke and mirrors? What are you hiding from? Post of your regular account, otherwise nobody can take you at all seriously.

For those of us who have never studied Chinese and never will, can you explain?

I speak a little mandarin, and I can't imagine what your name could mean otherwise.

You don't like Korean:

Mulberries?

Cooked food?

Thread?

Please enlighten us.

The original poster uses the following message under his name:

"wo buxihuan hanguoren" - which simply means "I don't like Korean people."

Mandarin lesson:

Wo
- I

Xihuan - Like

Bu - Don't (negative)

Hanguo - Korea

Ren - People

Mandarin is actually a pretty easy language to speak, on a simple conversation level, provided you pronounce the tones (4 of them) correctly.

Writing Chinese characters takes years (yes, many years!) of hard work to master - simple memorization of mostly random characters. Don't let people fool you into thinking that Mandarin characters are like pictograms - that is a myth.

You need to learn about 3000 characters to just be able to get the 'gist' of the headlines in a newspaper, and to write simple messages and essays.

Fortunately there is Pinyin, which is the romanized version, and pretty phonetic as well. In Taiwan, however, they do not use Pinyin, but another system called 'bopa mofa'

On a last note, any average language learner who learns Mandarin for about 6 months should be able to converse in Mandarin on a basic level, with the ability to express most of their basic needs and thoughts, and that is the situation I attained, after 8 months in Taiwan. In Taiwan most courses are 10 hours per week of formal classes (2 hours a day/Monday to Friday) with about 1 hour of homework a night. That is a 3 hour time study period per day. It is intensive but very enjoyable, and if you have a good Mandarin teacher, your progress will be surprisingly rapid.

So you been to school
For a year or two
And you know youve seen it all
In daddys car
Thinkin youll go far
Back east your type dont crawl

Play ethnicky jazz
To parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know
How the niggers feel cold
And the slums got so much soul

Its time to taste what you most fear
Right guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear

Its a holiday in cambodia
Its tough, kid, but its life
Its a holiday in cambodia
Dont forget to pack a wife

Youre a star-belly sneech
You suck like a leach
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch
So you can get rich
But your boss gets richer off you

Well youll work harder
With a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers
Till you starve
Then your head is skewered on a stake

Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need, my son.

Is a holiday in cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in cambodia
Where youll kiss ass or crack

Pol pot, pol pot, pol pot, pol pot, etc.

And its a holiday in cambodia
Where youll do what youre told
A holiday in cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul
----------------------------------------

That's a nice song.

If you are suitably qualified and experienced you can make a lot more than $1,000 / month working in Cambodia. If anyone is seriously interested in working here PM me for more information.
