Playing with bamboo

In anticipation of the decision of the customs office in the capital, we are trying to find some activities to absorb our thoughts and at the same time to move our preparations forward. Today we have been dealing with bamboo ... Did it sound ambiguous? On the main Kampot street there is a store w...

Public/Bank holiday

Today, Monday, September 24, is a public holiday. Offices and banks are closed. Besides, life goes on normally. It is the Constitution and Coronation Day. A bit of Camodian newest history: "On September 21, 1993, a new constitution was announced in Cambodia, and three days later, on September 24,...

Almost a lion

Our "lion" eats on pretty tableware, but we do not know if he appreciates it. He still runs away from us and only wants to have a full bowl. He lives "outside", which makes us happy, because he is not at home at night. He also deals with his affairs in the neighbourhood. He worries us a bit becau...

Guest suite

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

Before the upcoming season, after the end of the rainy season, a great repair will probably begin. Otherw...

A day visit w Phnom Penh

Before I give the reason for the trip to the capital, I have to describe the return journey itself. At 08:30, the GIANT IBIS* - a transport company took me in their luxurious little coach to Phnom Penh. From Kampot it is "only" 150 km. The journey took 4 hours! The coach itself was very comfortabl...

Saturday night in Kampot

Saturday. During the day there was a little less traffic than usual, but there are no weekends here in our sense of the issue. There are no non-commercial Sundays ... Tomorrow, we will also shop on the market anyway. After finishing the work in the bathrooms (we will publish the photos soon), we ...
