When the beer tab "lottery" ends in October, I bet the first ever beer shortage in Cambodia will take place about a week before, when all the tab hoarders will cash in!

I got my Charles Schwab bank account all set up and received my debit card. If you're from the states and want to be able to transfer money at no cost while in Cambodia, get an account with them because then, instead of using some kind of transfer service that takes out a fee, you can just take it out of the ATM and the bank will reimburse you for all ATM fees anywhere in the world. Take out USD and there's no transfer rate.

Then, just deposit the money in your ABA, ACLEDA, or whatever bank you use in Cambodia. You don't have to have an account in riel in order to use ABA Pay to pay with riel. It just takes it from the USD in your ABA account. If there's an exchange rate involved, it's always very near 4000 riel to the dollar, so it's negligible. Pennies.

There are a few places (but at the bank itself is best) where there's a deposit machine right next to the ATM, so you don't have to wait in any lines! Withdraw from ATM, deposit in the other machine, bam, done! Immediately available!

Good news! I got a solid gig and plans are underway to return to Cambodia mid-October! I'll have a video up once I've actually bought the plane ticket in about 3-4 weeks.

Folks, tourism is down by almost half compared to last year. Please spread the word to get people to do as much business as possible with locals and expats alike. Let people know that Cambodia is safe to visit and live in, and try to get as many people as possible to consider spending some time in this beautiful country. It needs our help.

This was sent by Prince Sisowath Sirik Matak five days before the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia. This is what courage and integrity look like.

Some videos are simply so good and so informative that I think everyone with an interest in Cambodia should see them. This man's account of living in Cambodia for over 20 years contains so many important insights, so much history, and such a wide view of this beautiful country. If it were a documentary, it would be better than most of the documentaries I've seen put together. His knowledge of and passion for Cambodia is so worth watching.

Drone owners, take note:
There are protected areas where you are not allowed to fly a drone around Siem Reap and the surrounding temples. Here's a map so you know where not to use them:

I've done orientation for the writing gig and I can't express how happy I am with it. The company truly has its stuff together and there will be no shortage of work. I can work from anywhere on earth with an internet connection. I have a solid schedule with decent pay and I'll be quite comfortable in Siem Reap. I'll actually be able to retire, which would be impossible in the States.

So, yes...it's on! Current tentative date for leaving for Cambodia is October 23. I'll start adding content on the YouTube channel when the time gets closer. There is so much I look forward to!

I'm going to have a good life in Cambodia. It's about time things went well for me. Of course, I'll likely be worrying about the other shoe dropping the whole time, but maybe I can find the zen and the heart to actually enjoy it and accept happiness.
