That's an excellent attitude, I love it.

Next up - Be careful.
There are a thousand people out there that will try to take advantage of you and sound nice as they try to be nasty.
There are the obvious ones, and those less so.
Here's a bit of advice worth looking at.

If you get any requests for money from anyone, make some excuse as to why you can't lend it.
Any old lie will do as it will show them you aren't a target worth going after.
I usually tell them I'm waiting for cash to come from England and things are a bit tight until it comes.

If anyone offers contact details, google them before you reply. A lack of hits on a search commonly means a new email address, so ask yourself why they would do that in a world why email contact is so important.

Welcome: Things will work out perfectly I am certain. Just be safe like you would in any urban place in Earth. Learn a little of the language and smile. You'll be fine. I am in Siem Reap if you are up this way.

I really appreciate this and perfect timing, just deleted email.. I have a lot to learn in that aspect.. my son also teaches self defense for women, and mma fighter... so I will brush up on that... I appreciate you looking out for me.  I will be smart about everything.

Hello Kimberly,

I moved to PP in February from Washington, DC. Welcome to Cambodia! I live in the BKK2 area and work in Toul Kork. Are you settling in PP or just passing through? Let me know if you need tips or advice!

King regards,

Lucky you, I just left Phnom Penh , I loved it , such nice people, and the city life is fantastic , I'm coming July 1 and plan on staying 5-6 months , I love Cambodia, have fun

I'm looking for a nice apartment, seems like most are in the Russian market area, is this a nice area? Or is central market area better, just retired hanging out, I love the markets, and aeon mall, the whole city has its different feel to each area , any ideas ?

Good luck on your adventure. 

As a Cambodian American who has been living here for much of the last 15 years, I've had quite a few experiences myself-- some good, some bad, and everyone of them a learning experience. 

You'll find that Cambodia is generally safer than many American inner cities.  There are many dangers here, but they're not necessarily the same ones as those you'd encounter in the states.  You just have be alert and not take anything for granted. 

I always admire Westerners who venture out to places like this to broaden their horizons.  I have many Cambodian-American friends who'd never step foot on their native country because they're so spooked by what they read in the news or hear through word of mouth.  I think Americans in general are not as well traveled as their European counterparts and so tend to have more insular worldviews. Although their negative perceptions about Cambodia are not necessarily incorrect, they really don't know the truth unless they're here for a while. 

You just have to be here to see it for yourself.  Just as long as you can manage to stay out of trouble, avoid sickness, traffic accidents, and things of nature, I think your life will be greatly enriched by being exposed to a land and culture very different from your own.

Hi how you doing.wishing you the best in pp good luck
