My point is can folk use Baht in posts and in regards to months of the year avoid "Fall" etc. Just yanks thinking center of universe using USD and seasons that apply to USA. You use Aussie slang like "ripper" so why can't Americans use their own vernacular? Also referring to all Americans as Yanks shows your ignorance. How do you know that they ain't from the South? Don't ever be calling a Southern boy a Yank to his face or you'll be in a world of hurt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief man, what's with all this "whatever" and "who cares" gurning? A couple of members that know how the Cambodian ATM's and agents deal only in bucks (that's $ or USD) and you go all yanks and their language bashing? What value quoting fees in Thai baht when it's a currency that's irrelevant to the situation at hand? You are pretty much on the ball with advice, albeit Vietnam-centric but lately, you've been getting a wild hair up your ass and going off topic.. Not just on this thread either. Someone has a different experience checking in at SGN and you get the dismissive 'whatevers'. As @Lemsta69 has already opined, Phnom Penh is not Saigon.

You can blame that on a fine propaganda/patriot song. Wouldn't be surprised if some members on here actually remember it being released. Oh, and through in a healthy dose of using it to deliberately wind someone up which citizens of the nations mentioned are prone to do.

Hypocrisy much? Completely incorrect. I complain re many USA folk using seasons on AseanNow example .. " In Fall". Guessing that means Autumn and no idea what exact month that is. Also posting various costs of this and that in USD.

I assume he means the UK TV panel show programme: Have I Got News For You - HIGNFY - Not HIGFNY!! I do wish people, especially on a platform with people from many different countries etc, use the correct names and then use the acronym in brackets after it! Putting the acronym in the wrong letter order makes Google pointless as does the fact that many acronyms have multiple meanings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianburi Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Referring to someone from ROI as a Brit may be an error especially after yesterdays result in Dublin.

The OP is in Phnom Penh applying for a non-O retirement visa after getting the bum's rush from SP Immi. @zzzzzis recommending that he use an agent in PP to facilitate this, the cost of which is, wait for it ... 80 bucks! ???? Actually I think it might be more than that, I read another post somewhere that said its $80 at the Embassy and $100 via local agent. At any rate, the OP has informed us he went the DIY route so all this talk of Phnom Penh agents is moot.
