with regards to the numbeo figures: these are pretty offset by the high price of Milk, Bread, Cheese, Apples, Wine - all of which are non-native foods and would have to be imported to Cambodia (and which wouldn't be part of an average diet there). In fact, most of the foods there are non-native - potatoes? No-one's eating these either.

Local food types (rice, noodles, veg, SE Asian fruits) are ridiculously cheap in Cambodia, though could still very well be expensive in comparison to the wages..

edit: reading further, I'm not sure they've sourced those figures well at all, they don't ring true. 0.43€ for a bottle of water? Come on, that's nowhere near the local price unless you're buying it at your western hotel


Nitpick: Because Cambodia was part of French Indochina, bread (specifically baguette bread) is in fact an everyday staple food to Cambodians, at least in the cities.

What's the price for 1kg of rice there?

As has been proved, the USA is not the pinnacle of these things (any longer?). I'd happily try my luck with a German Dropbox


I closed my google account today after spending a few weeks migrating. Try fruux for calendar and contact sync, it's hosted in Germany and I'm happy with it


I just bloody switched to fastmail because I thought it was Australian - and unfortunately I really like it. Gutted to hear it's hosted in USA, kinda negates the point of my effort switching away.


You think Australia isn't a surveillance state?


Not the kind that drones you, mate.

The "Four Eyes", are USA, Canada, Australia, and England, and are all part of the PRISM program.


Well that's how it would seem, in the wake of the Snowden revelations.


Some diet habits are harder to persuade, and many won't stick with them. So anything is something.



Try telling that to Hollywood.


And I thing "the mainstream" is comfortable enough with the concept of "Identity Theft".

Yeah, perhaps "stolen" isn't 100% technically correct, but then neither is "shared" in this case…


SEEKING WORK - native British freelance developer currently living in Hanoi, Vietnam. Seeking (presumably) remote work.

Here is my portfolio, I've been freelancing for 5 years: http://iandundas.co.uk/portfolio

Twitter: @id | Email: contact@[mydomain].co.uk

I'm an experienced iOS developer (using rubymotion of late, but traditionally using obj-c). I'm decent at Rails so writing the app and the server-side backend to go with it is my bread and butter.

My last iOS app was written for Audi and was their new Mileage Tracker app: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/audi-mileage-tracker/id53130....

And before that: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/predix/id638720699?mt=8

Also fluent in: mongodb, node.js, the LAMP stack, etc.

I can offer great rates because of my locale.

Ian
