Dude! I’m an American who has been living in Cambodia for a little over 8 years. Discovered your channel yesterday and did a mini binge watch of what you’ve been up to. I vote giving cambo a little more time. I personally love it here. It’s definitely not for everyone but maybe don’t check it off just yet. 😊

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks for watching! I have no choice but to give it more time or go back to the States living out of a car again!

[@LifesaBeachCambodia-jn1yi]

Missing your hometown is always in the ❤

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks for watching

[@billbarney4937]

thanx for showing us Cambodia. seems very peaceful and a beautiful place to live

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@kibblesandbits9343]

People will always miss the place that they grew up a long time in.. we are humans.

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks for watching!

The more movements, the more epic video's.

Thanks for supporting!

I think SR is much better than PPC. Like 100time better. Cheaper, more places to explore. Closer to the mountains. PPC got nothing on SR... If i retired, the best place for me would be SR or Phen Thee Meang Jay.

[@urbansurvivorguy]

I don’t have retirement money yet.

[@BeeZee712]

@urbansurvivorguy me too, plus they going raise up the retirement age again

[@cameronset-chan8409]

SR is much relaxed, on top of that the I would love to explore the forest area. Deep Khmer history 💯 agree.

[@IsaacDelgado-d8g]

yes it helps to visit the countryside like small towns that's what l do

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kenhhoaky314]

Most people retire in Southeast Asia long term because they have retirement money and pension money, if they have money on hand to retire then that is a good idea to live long term in Asia. But if I don't have retirement money then that is bad idea to live long-term. We have to have income to pay for housing, food, etc,... I can come back to Mekon southern Vietnam live in my parent's house for free, but the pay In Vietnam is only $500 per month with no health insurance, I rather make minimum wage in the US and pay for rent or live in the car.

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Sounds good to me.. USA has plenty of benefits even if you are poor…safety net

[@nancythang5539]

Happy holiday brother. I feel you on missing home part. I was there visiting 3 weeks on Srok Khmer and that was enough. Just had my supreme burrito and thinking of you. Take care!

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!

[@DallasHVac]

Wait till summertime if you think it’s hot now

[@urbansurvivorguy]

I already know.. schools shut down because it got too hot!

[@reoun1654]

You gunna have those days buddy over there. I did 10 years in Vietnam i felt the same a lot people need to know that S.E.A tropical weather keeps you inside for 9mths of the year and the amount of people can be insane not to mention the noise factor over there. I like how you are keeping it real ie truth Bombs 💣 👌

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks for sharing your experiences.. S.E.A is cheap living for reasons

[@saigongriffin]

The weather here in the winter season is really pleasant and actually cool in the shade, if you think it’s hot now wait until the hot season and 40+C heat…also, staying in the city is crazy, thats why I live in Chhbar Ampov…Siem Reap will be crazy over the new year, if you need to get away, go to Battambang or Kampot. Or take the ferry from behind Cambodiana to LA (Lvea Aem) and visit the Vietnamese community along the river (start from the church)

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks for the info! I’m heading out to countryside asap! Get away from the crowds!

[@fijiunlimited4503]

I feel you about the humidity though - I went back to Hawaii after living in Cali 6+ years and man, that humidity was hittin' hard. (My homegirl from Vietnam said humidity is even more in that region.)

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Yessir! Humidity and heat!

[@AnonymousSocialWorker]

That's normal to miss home but you have another home now.

[@urbansurvivorguy]

We’ll see.. I left 16 times while in Cambodia..

[@simonumheng]

Yeah Cambodia is hot. Go to the beach Kep or Kampot for a month. LBC weather is the best though.

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Nothing beats LBC weather like free Henny & Heineken at 7th street park!

[@MekongFoodies-mt3oc]

Bro have you heard about what’s happening in LA?

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Yessir!! Keeping track daily

[@stevierayripple]

When I'm gone from LA for long, the thing I miss most are good TACOS !

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Yeah! Affordable and delicious street tacos!

[@cameronset-chan8409]

I think Cambodia has been good to you. You’re living like a king. It seems you are much more peaceful in Cambodia. You have a roof over your head, unlike living in your car in LA. Give it a couple more months. American we work like a slave to get to retirement age.

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Yeah not giving up so soon.. but if it’s not good I want better climate

[@urbantours365]

Hope everything turns out right for you brother.

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks! Much appreciated!

[@ChaoSna-jk3iy]

😊

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks!

[@gametri-eq6lj]

you should become a travel guide for foreigners

[@urbansurvivorguy]

We’ll see.. can do travel guide online

[@charliek6371]

Forreal though bong phnom penh is hot ass hell! I could not stand the heat, the loudness & also the food. All these guys hype up khmer food in cambodia is bomb but in long beach khmer food taste 100x better, weather is better here too. If you come back to lb just lay low go to work & chill ❤

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Cool.. I’m gonna stick it out and see

[@lexbeltran1354]

I had a feeling you would miss the LBC(L.a.). SoCal has the best weather😊

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Yeah I miss the weather but I don’t miss sleeping in a car.. give and take in life

[@solidstudd22]

SoCal is way too expensive

[@MettaPeace-he2ne]

Good 👍 luck 🍀

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks much appreciated

[@charrua59]

Yeah lived in Tropical country for many years. Was no point in paying for expensive clothes or furniture or other things. The life span of items is not that long when climate is humid. Coming from a dry climate i finally got tired of heat humidity and moved home again.

[@urbansurvivorguy]

I only got 3 shirts and 3 shirts 1 pair of shoes

[@khounchailinlavong6089]

It's like that everywhere in Asia I stick to my ac and when I'm hungry I go out to eat no matter in Laos Thailand Cambodia or Vietnam 😅 all the same results even with a nice monthly budget to live on it's the weather that will get you

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks for sharing.. sucks to be working during hot sun

[@1971shovelhead]

Would love to see your content in TJ

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks! Much appreciated

[@ErrthangMustgo]

Is their anyway u can change the homeless guy titles?

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Yeah! If I hit the lottery or hook up with a rich sugar momma!

[@charliek6371]

That was me that asked if you missed long beach bong! I know how it feels i stayed in phnom penh with my dad for a month in his busted up ass house no ac, no american style toilet or shower 😂😂😂. I was like damn i thought i was ghetto in the eastside but his house in phnom penh reaal hood.

[@urbansurvivorguy]

I think a few people asked me also

[@gametri-eq6lj]

maybe you should move to Houston pretty hot and humid but it last less hot months then sea and for u.s it’s cheap and has a huge Chinatown/little Saigon

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Been in Houston before.. weather is crazy that’s why it’s cheaper

[@gametri-eq6lj]

@@urbansurvivorguy Dallas is good too it’s not humid and no hurricanes worst thing is a tornado

[@Hugh1319]

I think you shouldn’t move back to LA or the USA permanently. One of the reasons why people watch your KZbin videos to get insight on live in Asia. Most Americans know the life growing in Los Angeles and communist Cali. If they don’t they can experience pretty easily with a quick trip. I see many KZbinrs their viewership dropped dramatically when they do videos in places they are very familiar with like in LA, SD, & SF. Most of us are looking to escape those places. Good place to visit but i never want to live there anymore. Go visit Dalat Vietnam. The weather is great there similar to San Francisco if you want enjoy great weather on a budget.

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks for the words of advice.. I’m open to anything .. a new land to explore opens up my mind and creativity

[@Hugh1319]

@ anytime my Asian brother. I am looking to relocate to Vietnam next year too when my daughter finishes high school. I visited Cambodia many times back then and i also find it pretty hot and more boring when compared to places in Vietnam, Taiwan, and Thailand. It’s much more expensive than Vietnam too. Only rent and house prices are cheaper but everything else is pretty expensive. But i love the girls scene at the NAGA Casinos and girls in the new Chinatown 😆.

[@lahoodslife]

Good for you man! If it’s a prison it’s no good 😮

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks! Much appreciated

Mexico ceded half its territory in 1848 due to war for Ed against the United States for Mexican spoils.Of corse Southern California is where it’s at.I been to many countries in the world and I feel Los Angeles is still where I belong.🇲🇽🇺🇸

Same old in LA. You shouldnt miss it. Cambodia is better except hot.

LA weather is awesome.. Cambodia hot and humid

[@paragraphics7403]

If you ever hit up San Diego /Tijuana, let me know. 👍

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Thanks! Much cheaper living in TJ

[@paragraphics7403]

Yeah, I've heard -- never been over there, but I lived in SD for, about, 3 years

[@Hopahola]

Sucks not much places seems suitable or affordable to live anymore

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Only the rich can afford to live in nice places in this world!

[@fijiunlimited4503]

What about the cons of living in L.A county, though? Could you go kick it in an air conitioned coffee shop or something to avoid heat while outside?

[@urbansurvivorguy]

You can kick it in a cafe or mall.. eventually it gets boring and costs you money.. I’m not here on retirement I’m here to work

[@libertysound589]

You don’t want to be in Tijuana because I’m living with in 15 minutes to the border But I know some people who live in Tijuana I will not leave San Diego California it’s very nice and yeah very expensive

[@urbansurvivorguy]

I rather sleep in an apartment in TJ then sleep in the car in SD

[@libertysound589]

@@urbansurvivorguy not cheap either in TJ, yeah get the mini van is the best option because more room Living in Tj is like living in Cambodia the laws is suck

Tijuana is the spot. Better weather than LA

[@ric44n]

you have lived in the usa for the majority of your life, so it's basically your "home" now, not cambodia even though you were born there.

[@urbansurvivorguy]

100% correct.. I identify myself as American born in Cambodia

[@TRAYBALLUNO]

Nah bro don’t go to Tiajuana , it’s more dangerous than LA bro. Risky as fuck nice to visit if you don’t find trouble. But I’m Mexican and not even I would live there.

❤ Bong Bros , With “LOVE&RESPECT” - I would suggested “YOU” to stay and, live in CAMBODIA. “OBVIOUSLY,” - You are 50 years old now. You have to think that what you are doing is just a “REPETITIONS” of “PREDICAMENT” something that had “HAPPENED,” to you in the STATE of CALIFORNIA. “ATLEAST, In CAMBODIA you will “LIVE” and, YOU won’t be “STARVING,” to “DEATH,” like in the U.S.A..

[@urbansurvivorguy]

I’m just building a foundation for future retirement plans.. still young enough to work until I get retirement $$

[@remhk6672]

I cant stand humid weather also. But, the way things are here in the states now... things are looking gloomy and you not only see the downfall of the US happening right before your eyes, but you can also feel it. Its wild that you even miss it and you miss sleeping in your camry? You have a cheap apartment to stay in. You have so many things you can do there. So many things to explore. I thought you no longer want to be part of the rat race? You know how overrated it is to live in this sorry country called USA? I would love to trade places with you right now. People from other countries are also observing the deteriorating state of the US. They can no longer hide the truth.

If U want to be Successful as "KZbinr,"- U need to change your presentations! Meaning, why don't you Focus on Food. What Cambodian's eat, their food and How they cook their Food! Go to Restaurants and ask food their food. Try to eat the food with the camera focusing on you and become a "Critic," IF the Food is Good or Not! Also, IF the Location is Good Spot for Tourist to go or Not! What's the Danger side Traveling to Cambodia! Like ex: Tourist should start listening and be Aware of the Laws of the Land of Cambodia! Try to Ask People about their Life style!

[@urbansurvivorguy]

Food costs money.. homeless guy equals no money

[@Worldofourown2024]

It is lovely over there except the hot Sunny weather of April and May is seriously inhospitable feeling dangerously like Mercury instead of a paradise called Earth. It made me feel sick and deathly, but wasn't concerned of malaria and dengue out of taking doxycycline. One needed the rest and relaxation of a home away from home instead of chaotic over stimulated culture shocked walking ATM targeted by a few with a deep sense of entitlement that America owes them reparations viewing us as filthy stinking rich. It was a super awkward thing to venture out into rural village with a local man drinking beer eating yellow mangos seining for small catfish in the backwaters of the Tonle Sap during dry season while being told America is not a friend of theirs asking me why I've come to Cambodia to die. His mom and grandma stared in disbelief sensing they carried great fear saying police randomly move them around regularly over the years to less desirable places like sunny hills without ponds and shade trees with huge amphoras of brackish water breeding mosquitos for rice, alcohol, and thirsty squealing piglets in a small wooden habitat behind the single wall open air kitchen. Their open air kitchen had two functions one being a huge communal rice cooking pan and the other a moonshine distillery along with piglets reserved for roasting on auspicious days like holidays. I was like, uh, I guess I have some history lessons to embrace instead of pretending the world is a global democracy centering around the United States many people held as the high endeavor to Stop Wars which sometimes appear as a knock off Star Wars looking T-shirt. Regardless which country, time zone or planet of the galactic federation, the idea to grab an audiences' attention is to tell stories that captivate and intrigue which can be about old cultures giving way to global technocracy in a world undergoing unprecedented change or perhaps sadly the last of the free range birds, bees, and wild elephants. The lady on the traditional loom in an old royal palace no longer culturally vibrant and relevent is probably the last of an old traditional going back many centuries for the corporations are serious about high tech robots and AI over humans. Americans used to be focused only on domestic bread and circus of narcistic half hour sit coms, football, and propaganda idiot box racket about a great dream one has to be asleep to believe, but today are more interested in the entire world and how one can possibly be free, sovereign, and independent individuals without the conundrum of dire straights, debt economics, terror, and corporate employers.
