OMG.... now I feel really bad complaining that we don't find everything we want here in Cambodia! I am happy to see you found propane. I hope you get to find some other fresh and affordable ingredients soon. Big hug to you and the family!

Well, I see you using all the exotic imports in Cambodia in your recipes there. The crisis has gotten so bad that even things grown locally are unaffordable. It's a "hot mess" as we say in the USA, and I am most bummed about the years of our lives lost in this stagnation that we can't get back. Oh well, we have two Asian daughters, I guess that is fairly solid retirement plan.
We miss Cambodia, but the amount of bribes I'd have to pay to get the recommendation letter ($1,300) plus the plane tickets, COVID-19 deposit, five-star hotel quarantine, then straight into rent, security deposits, work permits, work visas, business license, etc. Oh my, we'd be in $15,000 just come back to Cambodia and be broke, and we only have $10,000 left anyways. !ENGAGE 25
The whole 2-week mandatory quarantine hotel stay thing might be over soon. October they say... but then it is Cambodia so you never know! Isn't it possible to go back to Ecuador or any Khmer-friendly country close by?
Ecuador is easy the first 90 days, and Panama the first 180 days, but basically all Latin-American countries have complicated and expensive immigration systems that require lawyers and stamps for every single thing. It easily costs thousands and thousands of dollars, lesson learned.
As bad as the situation has become here in Suriname, we have managed to file all of our own paperwork and arrange every document we needed in person without ever paying a fixer or translator. Our whole immigration process here hasn't cost more than $300 USD.
Really? Ecuador seems fairly easy. We are looking into it now as Peru has become a NoNo tax wise. As EU citizens that want to buy land in the country... would Ecuador be difficult to move too? Or was it just for srey pov and the kids?
