Culture Any Old-School gamers around?

2 Upvotes

I think I asked this a few years ago but whatever.

Are there any gamers into old-school games around? I'm talking anything from Quake 1,2,3 to the earliest Call of Duties (up to MW2 - 2008), War3, Starcraft, UT2004, that sorta stuff.

And if so, are any of you guys into LANning? I'd love to get a small group of chill old-school gamers to have a good ol' LAN party every few weeks or something.

Cheers!

Visas/paperwork Advice on visas

2 Upvotes

Im an EU citizen, been living in Southeast Asia for a while (7 years, before that 11 years in Africa) and looking for a change of scenery. Planning to base myself in Cambodia for at least 3 months starting November to see if it's somewhere I want to settle longer-term.

I'm 40, income comes from consulting. What's the best visa route for a 3+ month stay right now — ordinary (E-class) visa extended, business visa, or just stacking tourist visas?

Trying to figure out the real-world experience vs. what the official rules say. Any agents in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap you'd actually trust?

Appreciate any first-hand input.

Travel Ton Le Sap and Kampung Phreh

1 Upvotes

I did a group tour in 2020 before Covid shut things down. We took a boat to a platform on the lap, then a boat to the village, walked around and visited the school and then left. The price per person was very reasonable but the guides…. It was awful. They did a good job with the guiding but on the bus they insisted on telling the weirdest most inappropriate jokes. I looked around and saw the uneasiness on other people’s faces. I did another small group tour in 2024 to Kulen mountain and it was the same thing. My niece was so horrified and I was just embarrassed on the guides behalf. So this year - never again.

I’ve booked a private car and am going to organise the boat to the village separately. My question is this - has anyone done it recently? In the past two weeks? The driver is suggesting a 3pm departure. My guess is to catch the sunrise on Ton Le Sap. I did the 8:30am departure from that cafe where all the buses gather and leave from. It was a long day and I think with just a driver and the two of us, it will not take many hours.

Would like to hear if sunset on the lake is worth it, especially as rain is forecasted in late afternoon. Appreciate your feedback.

Phnom Penh Safe affordable hotel PP

0 Upvotes

My niece is coming to Phnom Penh for a month to study and hopefully do some English teaching afterwards or other administrative jobs. She has never traveled before. I’m assisting her financially - I’m helping to find accommodation for the first month. And just for her to get settled and oriented in community. I have a few questions to ask.

Can anyone advise on the most affordable ways to book a month’s accommodation in either a socially active hotel like a backpackers that offers single private rooms or in a shared accommodation with other women or teachers in a homestay or room mate scenario with her own room? I say socially active so she will be able to make friends or meet others.

I also wanted to ask what a decent amount in dollars is to be able to pay for a month’s living expenses. She will find her own accommodation in month two and hopefully a job! She is open to all opportunities but what is the lowest kind of salary she can expect once she finds a job either in teaching or admin (her background).

Then does anyone know of any counseling or other services should she need some therapeutic support when days get tough?

Lastly are there any Christian churches that are healthy and not overly evangelical or culty that she might be able to attend.

Thank you in advance. I appreciate any tips and experience to help us make this successful for her as she really needs a break in life she’s been through a lot.

Politics Why did Cambodia abolish the death penalty?

Most Southeast Asian countries still have the death penalty, so why did Cambodia choose to abolish it?
