After another full day in the fields, and by that I mean 7am to 2pm, we have been given another two days off. Talk about easing yourself back into things. Praise be to beer that I have plenty of time to sit around and nurse my injuries. I have three ... Read more >

Time off! Who would have thought it was just for the deserving? After staring down the barrel of work, which by definition is so back breaking that I sweat and cramp up at the thought of it, Adam, I, and 90% of the Oasis Farms workforce is being spared ... Read more >

21 minutes of another reality. Where? Inside my own mind! How did this amazing event come to pass, you may ask? And I will answer under the assumption that you did indeed ask. Before I do though, I must explain that before meeting Adam and Gemma, I ... Read more >

Regretting the decision not to do an actual interview with Albert, I failed to take down the names of the plants Albert showed to me. The names are readily available to all who are interested, so listing them here could incriminate me as supplying information ... Read more >

Who would have thought that a weather report could be so influential on travel plans? Possibly influential at least, to people so inclined to read such things. Had I have been less otiose and looked into the prevailing conditions, I would have been ... Read more >

It was 1am, and I was listening to Stabbing Westward (A band name that is as charming in its impression, as it is capricious in its meaning) sing a song called 'Save yourself'. Being alert at that time of night, instead of dead to the world by 9pm, ... Read more >

Did our change of location in Sihanoukville, result in an improvement in my feelings towards the place? Yes and no. The Green Gecko was definitely a better place to hang out, do our best to imitate people who can play billiards, and eat omelette rolls ... Read more >

What is going on? Is there a worldwide shortage of material at present; especially here in Sihanoukville, at Satan’s' fashion show of truly diabolical swimming garments. That wouldn't explain why the Cambodians, some of the poorest people in the world, ... Read more >

Sihanoukville has been exposed! No other place has seen such an astronomical increase in everything undesirable, and I aim to expose as much as has been exposed to me. Exposed as naive were my claims that Sihanoukville would enjoy controlled and responsible ... Read more >

Capital cities are always a mixed blessing. Everything you need, is there for a price. But so are a lot of things you don't need. Like pollution. Like extreme destitution. Like roads totally devoid of order. My God, is it only the Westerners that have ... Read more >

29 hours. 3 buses. 1 border crossing. 2 missed meals. 11 lady finger bananas eaten. 600 baht saved. 1 sore, sleepless and shitty traveler. Again the open road beguiled me, and rewarded my love of its exciting unpredictability with another ass pounding ... Read more >

Who knows how long I spent at Don Det but it was over a lot quicker than I wanted. 5 minutes, 5 days, 5 years, who knows? I have aged a bit, but that has more to do with yet another bout of paleness. Perhaps a large intake of Mekong water infused my ... Read more >
