I was actually in the Puok district outside Siem Reap for the 3 weeks. Mostly stayed in the rural side living with locals. I also visited the city for the weekends and it seemed like a great place to settle.

I also don't tend to go out of my way to meet peers in my local city. I guess I just prefer larger conferences for networking.

Thanks for the input! Maybe one day I'll also get acqui-hired and move there :)
