The contest has been settled

Just a moment, and everything will be clear and colorful! First, about our garden, which looks sad on a former rubble place. Someone else's cats and stray dogs have their playground here. And they leave behind what is not good for the plants! And the poor plants do what they can and even begin to...

This time a trip to Sihanoukville

In search of the best option of the "extraction" of the container from the port we had to go to Sihanoukville. It was not a nice trip. We covered 100 km in 2.5 hours on a very, very bumpy road. Before the upcoming season, after the end of the rainy season, a great repair will probably begin. Otherw...

A day visit w Phnom Penh

Water pressure drops periodically and there are power offs, which does not make matters easier ... In connection with the ...

The next episode of the series

There was supposed to be a competition for the name of our blog series, but we got forestalled. We liked the comment in which our stay in Kampot and blog entries were called a series titled "Chameleon". Irena (from Słoneczna) deserves a prize! Like all series, ours has its better and worse threads...

The bed

The ordered bed has arrived!, i.e. it was brought for assembly in the bedroom on the second floor. The dismounted elements were not a problem when carrying them upstairs, but the grille filling the frame required special treatment! After the assembling the bed and testing its resistance, the carpe...
