Hi!
My name is Konstantin. For the past two years i am living in the Kingdom of Wonders - that is the official slogan for Cambodia, the rough and sunny land.
Back in Russia, I used to be a creative director on advertisement, but i got tired of this, of my ex, of the shitty weather all the year round and of most of people, so i decided to move somewhere and chose Cambodia as my new home country.
First i landed in Sihanoukville - city on a shore. A real paradise, if not to look at it too close. I met lots of friends (most of them Russians), started two businesses, but had to close that soon. I lost some friends there too... Some of them died in accidents, some were killed, some gone, and some betrayed me. Life is harsh in Cambodia. But it is the only place i can imagine, where one can grow up significantly in a really short time.
So few words about what i ve been doing.
I started as a businessman. I planned to grow some weed, but considered it to be too dangerous here. So in short time i developed an idea and started producing sugar candies on sticks. That was huge fun for both children in schools, where i sold that :) but not that much profit.
After that i started a food chain, selling pancakes, which was extremely profitable and famous between locals. But it failed.
Then i moved to the capital city of Cambodia - Phnom Penh, where friends of friends rented me the restaurant. Finally they left, taking half of everything i bought for resto, and i closed this business too.
So now i am fixing and selling used bikes. It is a hard work, connected to locals. And i am already thinking about some new business here. What it would be? Do not know yet. But for sure that would be something new and interesting.
Cause i am living not to be bored.
