Every May, when the rains come, water levels in the Mekong start to rise.
When the river flows into Phnom Penh it meets another river that drains from a lake in central Cambodia.
So full is the Mekong that it reverses that river’s flow, forcing water back upstream and expanding the lake more than five-fold.
This is the […]
Sometimes I am amazed by the inventiveness and wit of designers.
What is even more amazing, is that the above idea — brilliant, innit? — is not coming from me. I mean, come on, it should could be coming from me, no ?
No ?
Anyways… I stopped drinking coffee many years ago, and I’ve never […]
Fifty days.

Surprisingly, Vietnam ranks 37th, right behind France. Vietnam is where I’ll go next, I think.
And […]
Thirty-five days since I stopped smoking, and counting… wow, it’s been a trip.
I must say it has gone easier than I feared at first. Mind you, “easier” does not mean: easy. Going cold turkey from three packs a day to nothing in one day is not something to be er, coughed at.
But overall I’m managing […]
