The plumbing cintinued

Having already experienced a drop in water pressure or its total lack in the taps for several hours, we decided to reactivate a big idle tank, mounted above the bathroom on the third level. There's only a tin roof above it! And again purchases of pipes, taps, valves, check valves and floats, elbow...

Cooking

Today a little bit about food; for a change. In the kitchen we have difficulties and limited conditions due to the lack of many things that are on their way to Sihanoukville. 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...

Although, he’s helping in arranging such documents for the first time, he easily found a friend in t...

Great news

Mr. Lim did not show up at the usual time, which is 9 am. It was puzzling that he had not called. Maybe he's celebrating Sunday, we thought. Although it seemed unlikely. At 10.30 he came with a screech of his tuk-tuk. And what turned out? At 9 am his wife gave birth to a baby son!! The labour pa...

The contest is underway

Today it was supposed to be a day without an entry to the blog, to give you a break from the excess of information (ha, ha). But it failed, because the events take place quite quickly. Maybe they are not of a state weight, but they matter to us because they bring us closer to the goal. Days pass q...

Our new means of transport

You remember dr. Rysio don't you? He spent a year in Cambodia; and in Takeo, on a three-month volunteering he was riding a bike similar to those used by half of the population of this country. He left orphaned his beloved vehicle leaving for Poland, and he asked us to take care of the machine durin...
