Michael
Thank you for your reply. I have been thinking about retiring for some time but am worried about the cost factor. I would have to live on my Age Pension which is about $900 - $1000 Australian per fortnight. Accommodation and food is a large factor and as luck would have it I am single. I cannot speak the local language but as I found a lot of people speak English. A job for a few days a week in a hotel would be an a advantage. I have been working for the last 7 1/2 years as the night manager of a hostel where I live for accommodation and a small wage so as not to lose any part of my Pension. So any advice you can give will be welcome.
As I said in my previous post, I will be in Siem Reap from the 22nd October till the 29th October 2015 staying at the Central Boutique Ankor Hotel and would like to meet.
regards Chris Beitsch
