Hi tt,

In Siem Reap, I found out it's possible to stay here indefinitely, but only on a different visa than the one I had arrived with. With my current visa, I was only able to get a one month extension.

I can leave, come back with the right visa then pay a few hundred bucks to stay a long while.

In Siem Reap, I found a decent place to live with a kitchen for just $250 a month, but with a 3-month security desposit. There are OK places for half that price even.

Max, the American friend I have written about, showed me a rather grim room he had rented for $30 a month!

P.S. In East Asia, Laos appears in serious trouble, with inflation of more than 40% and people fleeing cities or even out of the country. I'm half scheming of heading up that way to see what's going on. Plus, I'm very fond of Laos and have a friend in Luang Prabang.

BRI is just a song? I always take Escobar's articles with grain of salt.

Please do so.
