Michaela this morning at the market

We found a nice place at the market after arrival in Kampot, where we used to take a coffee pretty much every morning all together before heading back home for Danny's schoolwork. They also make a stunning noodle soup for 5000 Riel (1,25$) with veggies and pork. While looking at my beloved wife I'm in relationship since over 23 years and married since over 18 years I took this picture of her to remind me what a lucky guy I'm actually are.

Nazis, Nazis überall nur Nazis

Eine sehr gelungene Momentaufnahme der gegenwaertigen Situation im internationalsozialistischem Deutschland. Aber Vorsicht: Intellektuell sehr anspruchsvoll und leider nicht mit dem Guetesiegel "Systemkonform" geprueft:

Nazis, Nazis, ueberall nur Nazies!

A town guy starts growing food-Update

Because of certain weather issues a lot of our little tomato plants didn't make it and only the larger onces survived the typhoon and the following flood. I keep you posted on that topic.:)

Kampot under water!

The city is suffering hard from the still ongoing heavy rain. The first picture is taken from the bridge, where you can see how close the city is from getting overflown by the rising tide of the Kampot river. The second picture was made from the first restaurant next to the new bridge.

Any more rain and Kampot will be in sirious trouble, once the river has taken the last barrier.:(

Update:
In the later afternoon the situation is getting a bit better since it stopped raining since noon. The pic below was shot at about 4pm from the old bridge towards the new one:

I'm not realy the flood expert by any means but I asume that another rise of the rivers tide wouldn't be to good.:(

The main road alongside the Kampot river.

What's at least as worse is that we haven't any running water at home since this morning, very funny!

Update 2:
At the next day the situation has improved, the river tide is about 30cm. lower, the promenade free of water but not cleaned up yet. Even the tap water is back on again.:)

Oh man, homemade Cambodian fruit wine!

Because of the overwhelming hospitality of our neighbors we barely can make it to our house without getting invited from the neighbors to try some local specialities. In the picture above you see some of the devasting homemade fruit wine from our neighbors. One glass of it and you can see two wifes where there was only one before.:) The taste is just as addictive as the friendliness of the locals once they know you a bit better.:)

That's why we don't eat any "Package food" anymore

You never know what toxic and harmful substances are in these fancy looking boxes and when it comes to trust cooperations I tend to be a very suspicious character. My advice when it comes to food: Don't eat anything with any popular brand name on it and buy fresh instead. Learn cooking if you can't yet and educate yourself about nutrition, particulary after reading such information:
Monsanto GMO fertilizer Glyphosate found in Kelloggs products!
Stay healthy.:)

A town guy starts growing food

It was about two weeks ago when I planted some tomato seeds under one of our banana trees. The seeds was just taken out of a outstanding nice tomato bought at the market and got burried about a cm. In the best soil I could find in our garden. It only took five days until the first little plants started to show themselfes. By now they are about 15 cm., one of them shows already the third leave pair and they are growing amazingly fast under the tropical sun. Today I did plant some more and also some cucumber seeds taken out of a fresh one and be curious how long that will take. This is the first time in my life that I'm growing my own food instead of buying and I enjoy this new hobby.:) I will update this posting once a while to keep you informed about our veggie experiment.

Dear tourists,
Be adviced to take precautions while beeing in the Kingdom. Particualary the ladies be warned to travel on your own after dark by making sure the taxi or Tuk Tuk driver is known by your guesthouse of departure. Ask the owner to order a taxi for you. This will prevent the driver of trying something harmfull to you when he knows that his identity is known. Don't make yourself a target by carrying valuable belongings. If you have larger amounts of money with you store it seperately with only a small amount beeing visible while you pay. Travel in larger groups after dark and take care of each others safety. Also be aware that it's a common method among criminals to put paralyzing drugs in their victims drinks in order to rob or rape them afterwards-Don't leave your drink unatended at any time. This is a very friendly society but under every tree are also some bad apples, keep that in mind while enjoying the beautiness of the Kingdom of wonder.:)
