Around Kampot II

We are moving on. The same gravel road that looks like it is sprinkled with red chilli powder. I feel the fire in my eyes. We keep shaking in the tuk-tuk through successive villages and arable fields where children (all) smile and wave their hands. These smiles are honest. Those of the adults are ...

Around Kampot I

We decided to hire Lim to take us around the vicinities unknown to Iwona. The attraction of such an expedition, apart from visiting the destination, is passing through the surrounding villages and watching Cambodians struggle with everyday reality. The farming (no matter what is growing on the lan...

Night fun

Before I'll tell about a certain club in Phnom Penh, I would like you to read from the Wikipedia: "Drag queen (in drag means being in disguise of the opposite sex, queen - queen) - determining the stage character created by artists, usually male, less female, presenting caricatures of female figure...

Wat Phnom - the capital's heart

The condition of the roads after the rainy season is terrible. Currently, most of the route is in its peri...

Mysterious KTV

Returning from The Banyan Tree we passed one of the popular KTV bars. Those are specific places of Asian countries. It is difficult to describe their activities for me because we did not use this attraction. Here is what a student of English had written in his essay and his teacher published in the...

An evening out

One more couple of young Poles came to The Chameleon the other day. Luckily for me, only after the dinner they orddered, we learned that they are restaurateurs and run a good place in Gdańsk despite their young age. They liked the dishes and they came back last night. Together, we went out to a n...

The garden - nearly a botanic one

Our garden annexed in the urban space (something like an unused pavement), pleases our eyes with greenery covering the car workshop. And at the beginning it was really ugly! The former trash and debris turned out to be a difficult ground for plants. But somehow they managed and at least with effort...
