RE: Making Peace 🧘 With Being Stranded In Suriname 😌

in The LIFESTYLE LOUNGE4 years ago (edited)

I'm sorry to hear of your predicament. Stay strong! May I ask what Sreypov's husband did to get himself in jail? Before attempting to go Canada and Suriname, have you ever considered getting English teaching jobs by rotating countries every two years like Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and etc to avoid Sreypov's husband? Please do not misunderstand, not judging, just suggesting in case you guys get deported back to Cambodia.

Sort:  

Well, the world is very small, the same problems destroying former hometown in the USA are also causing problems in Cambodia. "Yabba" is the key word, basically a mix of caffeine and methamphetamine.

He was arrested twice for dealing this drug, but he is currently out of jail in Cambodia, and could technically make a claim to our children, as he is still the birth certificate father, even though he signed away his rights to Sreypov on paper.

I was an English and Cambodian teacher in Cambodia for over 9 years, so I'm familiar with the visa situations, etc. Laos and Thailand are nearly impossible long term. We'd be okay in Cambodia as long as we didn't let certainly family members with loose lips know our address.

As we now survive from internet $$$, the most important thing is to get to a cheaper cost-of-living country than Suriname, which really doesn't exist in the western hemisphere. I would be glad to go to Nepal, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, anywhere with a similar cost-of-living to Cambodia where we can all get visas and get back on our feet economically. First we gotta get money to fly out of here though, and the prices are way too expensive for us now.

Thanks for your concern @wittywheat, it is apprecialoved.
