Hello,
I am a French girl volunteering in PP.
Would be nice to meet other Frenchies!
Val
you shouldn't have a hard time finding them! Try hanging out on st 240.. lot's like that street (and rightly so, a lovely area)
If you're hot, then I'll be French.
Not many of the froggies come on this site, if you want to meet some, best go hang out at the CCF or Le Jardin or Gasolina (new owners-still French ownership) or Riverhouse.
...or Equinox at st 278 .
inscris-toi à phnom penh accueil sur yahoogroups, c'est la liste de distribution francophone locale.
il y a plein de Français ici et encore plus de francophones (belgique, suisse, canada) et il y a plein de business français aussi (comme à la maison rue ... 57? ou le restaurant le wok rue 178 ou encore la madeleine, ou encore la boucherie rue 19 au coin de la 240 derrière le palais, ou encore le terroir rue 240 juste avant monivong). etc.

forget comme à la maison its old, tired and run down,
Ttry OpenWine on street 19 just off street 240 - much better...
i agree with you, as i shop and eat there. but it could be a bit expensive for an intern... 
catherine
yep, i'll second Equinox....
A french volunteer-is that an oxymoron?
I see that the gasolina is being renovated.
Does that mean that the previous owners have gone?
What a tragedy!
The frog that i met there one night with the manners of a rich khmer and the nous of a chimpanzee was amazing.
Is this thread a put on?
The country is lousy with french.
Put your hand up if you like the french.
Put two hands up if you are french.
French Volunteer isn't an oxymoron, I've met lots of French volunteers. French Courtesy is an oxymoron though, as is witty construction worker. And as long as we're stereotyping, you said the frog had the manners of a rich khmer but I thought the rich Khmer's got their manners from the frogs in the first place.[!] Seriously though ML, its funny hearing you rip on people about their manners and nous when your posts paint you as an antagonistic bastard with the etiquette of a badger (maybe its just your online persona, maybe in real life you’re a darling).
Also maybe you could fill me in on ozzi English...where I'm from “lousy” is an adjective which means "poor or bad condition". You could say "the country is lousy because of the French" but it doesn't make much sense to say "lousy with French"
The other meaning of lousy is "infested with lice" which still would not work in this case (unless you are insinuating that French bring lots of lice with them to Cambodia and have infested the country with their lice)
What does lousy mean in oz?
lousy has more than one meaning, and not just in Oz... overridden by (as in when you have lice, you don't just have the one!)
Yes there are new owners @ gasolina but ML I would wait until the paint dry on renovations until you visit
cross post to the "wet paint" sagacross post to the "wet paint" saga
?
shit... I thought we had go rid of you latham...
There's not a lot happening over on that "other" site, Anthony...
Crikey abaddon,cut me a bit of slack.
That gay french prick who was previously at gasolina would be the rudest person that I have met in cambodia in three years of residence.
Still I havent met you yet and maybe he is your mate.
I am actually a very tolerant chap but french gays are possibly the rudest people on the planet.
Is the paint dry yet wah wah?
And what do you have against badgers, abaddon?
I just enjoy taking the piss ML. Just becuase I give you a hard time doesn't mean I don't agree with some of what you say. You just come agross as being negative and grumpy in a lot of your posts which is why I take the piss even more.
You have to admit you don't have the most cheery disposition in most of your posts.
I agree many French are rude, but I don't know about French Gays being the rudest on the planet. (though they all seem kind of fruity so I don't know which ones are gay and which ones are straight)
I believe the french volunteer has left the building...
