RE: I've Reluctantly Taken A Break From Hive 🤷‍♂️ There Just Isn't Enough Time In A Day Lately 👎

Some frustrating times, and now coincides with the umpteenth denial of our USA visa. At this point I don't think my American family will ever know my Cambodian family, and I've made peace with that. I also still want to get my daughters a strong passport before they're legally adults and the process is much harder. It looks like Portugal is the easiest EU country to get residency in, seems with proof of around $1,200 of monthly income I/we can get a self-employed visa and within 6 years could have Portuguese passports. rom what I've read we can spend only two months a year in Portugal and otherwise live in Cambodia, and still keep the path towards EU citizenship open.

If we could do that, at the end of the 5 years we could sell our land here for hopefully a profit, repay the loan and buy an olive tree and a roof in Portugal somewhere, perhaps the Azores islands, about as close as we could be to the US before we get passports.

There's already a rich guy buying up property in our area, talking about resorts, clearcutting the forest, etc., I suspect our little are will be ruined in 5 years, but the property worth much more, so I need to make peace with the fact that no natural spaces in Cambodia last for more than 15 years once humans enter them. I would also like Srey-Yuu to get some years of proper highschool education somewhere in the world, so who knows, maybe the future is Portugal, or at least two months a year.
