in search of furniture

Today I've signed a contract for garbage collection. For comparison with Poland: Here it's 5 USD per month for a household, then when the bar start running - 15 USD. With a fee paid for a year in advance - one month for free. How is the comparison? As always invaluable Mr Lim takes us to the west...

Calming down...

I am eager to appease everyone interested in Kamel's fate: He moved away from us and probably is enjoying himself in a house next door, which is uninhabited. He appeared on the roof of the house and watched Adek who was working on the balcony. He returned home last night looking for food. He ran ...

On the market

A day like any other.  Hard-working. Shopping on the market, that is, first recognizing the "area". Without Mr Lim, everything would take a lot of time. We are gaining knowledge where the best vegetables are, etc. By the way, we looked at the stands with materials, because we need to design table...

Some poor news

Breaking news: Kamel has chosen freedom! Love for a blood family turned out to be stronger than a relationship with an adoptive family. After a stormy night of running, humming, whimpering and jumping on the window bars, he found himself in the second floor bathroom and somehow managed to jump on ...

The latter is rare here in homes, because water in the tap is never very cold, right? But this is not enough for our perception of h...

South of Kampot

Gregory McCann is seriouosly concerned: „Sihanoukville was once a hippie enclave, perhaps the detritus of Pattaya expats who could no longer afford the rising costs of Thailand. Those Sihanoukville expats are now washing up in Kampot, but with the arrival of...

Field work

Everyday life consists of surprises among other things. This time the surprise was a rubble on the other side of the street, right in front of our house. This was not the case when I was signing the rental contract. It was not beautiful either, but what we found on our arrival frightened us that we...

And waht about us?

As blood is thicker than water … we cannot stop worrying about our part of Kampot, that is, the city on the eastern side of the river where we live. Gregory McCann relentlessly writes: „…but the east side of the river, where the old French villas are found, is in trouble too: China has designs on ...
