Average Hooker: Has *at least* one overseas 'boyfriend', usually in his 50's or 60's, who sends $500 a month western union - requires one weekly Skype call. If she's hot-ish, she can can longtime a naive tourist for $30-$50, usually works 3 nights a week, so $480ish minimum. A few times a year she'll catch an expat boyfriend who will 'take her out of the bar' until he gets tired of her bullshit, but she'll manage to extort the 'bargirl want trinity' - the iphone, the ipad, the jewellery -- first, plus her 'sweetheart allowance'.

Average bargirl is on $1000 a month plus (not including all the free drinks and food bought for them)

Why is the postmodern semantics approach to philosophy virtually the only one spouted on this board anymore?

>X is a semantic construct

>There is no X-ness form, the idea of X-ness is a linguistic concept residing in a semantic structure

>X isn't right/wrong. All moral/aesthetic statements are the application of a semantic positive/negative spectrum to another conceptual linguistic description of an event.

>The meaning of X?. "Meaning" is just a linguistic concept and not inherent in what you attempt to describe. You get upset about the lack of meaning because the semantic framework you created (which included the concept of meaning) doesn't fit the reality you try to describe.

>X is just a semantic description.

>Everything is semantics, including semantics, and the concept of "everything is semantics including semantics" is semantics too.

>why you have chose this life?
I finished a BSc, thought very, very hard about a stable cubicle/office/lab job, then ran away. Decided to delay 'real life decisions' until I'm thirty 35.

>I've been looking at Cambodia.
Nice, I've been there twice this year (three if you include a stop off to Bangkok). You'll probably buy a moto, but a bus from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh is about $15. Either way, they rape you with visa's unless you get a multi-entry 12 month one.

Where are you thinking of going? For international schools your options are Sihanoukville (the beach), Siem Reap (the temples), or Phnom Penh (the capital). For slum rat NGO's you can go anywhere; but while the Cambodian provinces are absolutely stunning, they may get boring after a while.

From what I hear, Cambo ESL wages are roughly $1,300 a month. For comparison, you can rent a room for $80 a month, and a local bottle of whiskey is $2.

>I don't think I'll need to worry about hookers. I'm really ugly.
No. No, you are not. You have white skin, so you are stunning. Even if you were 75 with a huge beer belly. Seriously. Get off the plane, go and sit in a bar on 136, and you will be swatting away more girls than mosquitoes.
