Breakfast is Served and Served and Served. And what happened to Sunday?

After a delightful 24 hours in San Francisco visiting daughter and nephew, we boarded Singapore Airlines Flight 33 and we were on our 17 hour way to Singapore en route to our first stop, Phnom Penh.  (Shout out to Caroline for picking us up and dropping us off at the SFO!)

Singapore Airlines does not fail to deliver. (If there’s a choice between Singapore Airlines and any other, take Singapore Airlines!)  17 hours is a ridiculous amount of time to spend in a tube hurling across the globe. Jet lag was going to set in, but how to mitigate? Aha! The goal was to stay up until 4am Pacific time, then sleep for 8 hours with the help of a Benadryl tablet and arrive in Singapore well rested and ready to hit the ground. Well, not so fast…  Champagne on takeoff, wine with dinner (I ordered Thai chicken curry-damn good), followed by an after dinner scotch and well, I didn’t exactly make it to 4am.  I did have a chance to read (a lot) and watch Sideways, which I had not seen since 2004-great movie. Unable to stay awake much longer at 1am, I took the Benadryl, and by 1:30 I was fast asleep.  Lisa was able to stay up until 2:30 so kudos to her for having the stamina and will power and less drinks to stay up.  Coma slept about 5 hours and woke up in time for breakfast.  I really don’t understand why they wake everyone up to eat breakfast when it’s the middle of the night at our destination and there’s still 5 hours left to go to get to Singapore.  All good except we both never really got back to sleep.  Didn’t matter.  The excitement of going to Southeast Asia with relatively few plans and not knowing what to expect made sleep irrelevant.  What in the world are we doing?  

We landed in Singapore and if the rest of the city state is like the airport, we must go back. What’s the deal with Singapore?  This is not a normal place.

There are fish and crocodiles floating on the ceiling. Yes! That’s the ceiling!!

We made our way to the Singapore Airlines lounge to grab our second breakfast while we waited for our flight to Phnom Penh.  It’s 6:00am and apparently you eat the same thing for breakfast as you do for dinner.  I guess that cuts down on the cost of printing menus. Noodle soup, dim sum, and other things I have no idea what they were-for breakfast.  When in Rome! Dim sum it was.  The layover was short, so we went to the gate for our next flight to Phnom Penh.  The flight took off on time and we were headed to Cambodia!  No sooner than we reached cruising altitude, they brought out what? A THIRD breakfast!  This time it was noodles with shrimp and scallop-for breakfast.  Folks, it’s 7:45 AM!  We’ve now eaten three breakfasts. Whatever.  Feeling nice and very full the best news was yet to come. The Super Bowl was being shown on the 1 1/2 hour hop over to PP, so we got to watch the whole first half .  Lisa was watching the game, too, but I sort of think it was to see Taylor Swift.  We arrived in Phnom Penh without a hitch, but here’s the thing…we left on Saturday and arrived on Monday.  Sunday, February 11 is forever gone from our lives.  We’ll never live it.  Poof! I am confused though.  Does that make us a day older or younger?? On one hand, we are older because it’s a day later. On the other hand, we missed a day so does that make us a day younger?

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Siem Reap, Cambodia

    I’ve returned from a 90-day trip around the globe to every time zone on the planet. My mission is world peace through cultural exchange.

  In this episode, the FAQ is: How can I stay hydrated when it’s humid and hot?

.

Today’s Destination is Siem Reap, Cambodia

Today’s Mistake- Taking the long way instead of a more direct flight.

Travel Advice: Practice Google Maps on foot before you leave on your trip

  FAQ: How can I stay hydrated?

  From my personal experience, I needed help with this in Southeast Asia. The climate was so different from Southern California, where I live. I had to adjust my body to these climate conditions. I had to be very aware of my intake of liquids and not drink much if any, caffeine.

I am not a medical doctor, but here’s what I learned. Rest during the day. Swim if you can. Keep your body cool and do it early in the morning if you must go out.

I had to respect my kidneys as they filtered all of this water.

I had to monitor the color of my urine to try to keep it clear in color.

  Today’s destination: Siem Reap, Cambodia

  Siem Reap, a resort town in northwestern Cambodia, is the gateway to the ruins of Angkor, the seat of the Khmer kingdom from the 9th–15th centuries. Angkor’s vast complex of intricate stone buildings includes preserved Angkor Wat, the main temple pictured on Cambodia’s flag. Giant, mysterious faces are carved into the Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom.

  The capital is Phnom Penh. Listen for the earlier episode on that city.

  I arrived by bus and immediately rode to the Backpacker’s Chill Hostel. My tuk-tuk driver was named Nuk, and he was reliable. He brought me to all of the places I needed to see. Ask for him if you go there because he could use the business.

What are some of the things that I did? The first was the temple, Angkor Wat. I went at sunrise, meaning I had to get the ticket first. So, he knew where to get the ticket and how to navigate the complicated process, making it easy.

Then we drove to the temples, which will take a full day. It’s so hot, you should go early. It was raining, but still very humid. Bring an umbrella for the sun. Limit your outdoor activities besides swimming.

  Angkor Wat reminded me of Disney in some ways, but this was REAL. It was from 1000 years ago. The temple is huge and not crowded like Disneyland.

Day Twelve: The Killing Fields

Late this morning, I flew from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam to Phnom Penh, “The Pearl of Asia,” AKA the capital of Cambodia. I met my guide, Thy, at the airport and headed immediately to Cheung Ek, one of the sites known collectively as “the Killing Fields.”

Incongruously and somewhat surreally, there’s a very nice cafe with free Wi-Fi just across from Cheung Ek. I was very hungry, so I sat and checked my email over a lovely lunch of spring rolls and red curry only about a hundred yards away from where hundreds of people had been murdered a few decades earlier.

Unfortunately, I don’t have that many photos to show of Cheung Ek for two reasons. First, visitors are asked to refrain from photographing many parts of the site out of respect for the victims. Second, this is the rainy season in Cambodia.

Now, let me try to give you some impression of what it means to be in Cambodia during the rainy season. Recall the worst storm you can remember. Thunderstorm. Tropical Storm. Hurricane. Whatever. Now multiply that by ten. Then multiply the result by a thousand. THAT'S how heavy the rains are. The water comes down, not in droplets, but in continual sheets that drench you and everything you own, leaving it looking as though you took it all for a nice swim. Wearing an anorak and carrying an umbrella? Ha! They serve only to make you FEEL as though you’re doing something. Compared to this utter monsoon, they don’t stand a chance.

Here’s the walkway into the site:

And here’s the entrance gate:

You have to realize that the water you’re looking at between the doors of that gate is six inches deep AT ITS MOST SHALLOW. At the end of our visit, Thy had to call our driver to come rescue us under a canopy, otherwise we couldn’t have made it across the parking lot to the car.

Yes, it was really that bad.

Needless to say, taking photos at an outdoors site like Cheung Ek in the midst of such a storm proved to be nearly impossible. But, since we had to run from one sheltered area to the next, armed with the beach-sized umbrellas that Thy provided, he had plenty of time to tell me the story of the Killing Fields.

He was sixteen when the Khmer Rouge came to power. At first, they were welcomed by the Cambodian people since it was widely believed that the Khmer Rouge would reinstate the king. But, immediately after taking power, the new government ordered Phnom Penh to be evacuated. The reason given was that the Americans were about to bomb the city. In reality, this was a ploy to get everyone into the countryside and force them to work in agriculture. Pol Pot claimed that, if everyone worked and there were no lazy people, the country could produce enough rice that it could buy whatever it needed, and everyone would prosper.

Things didn’t turn out that way.

The Khmer Rouge distrusted intellectuals, foreigners, those who had associated with foreigners, and anyone else who might be suspected as not fully on board with the new order. In prison, those arrested were tortured and forced to provide names of others who were “enemies of the regime.” And so, the list of those who were arrested continued to expand.

Once people had given names of their “co-conspirators,” they were told they’d been rehabilitated and soon would be taken back to their homes. In reality, they were taken to one of the Killing Fields.

There, they’d be blindfolded and their hands tied. One by one they’d be taken out to where a mass grave had already been dug. Each victim would be struck in the head with whatever implement was at hand and, dead or not, tossed into the grave.

At Cheung Ek alone, almost 9,000 bodies have been found, and it is known that many still lie buried there.

A memorial or stupa has been constructed at the site. Inside are seventeen tiers, filled with bones of the victims.

#140 Hallöchen Thailand!

สวัสดีประเทศไทย!

Unsere Ankunft in Bangkok

23. April 2022

Da wir unsere Aufenthaltsdauer in Kambodscha um einen Tag überzogen hatten, waren wir etwas aufgeregt bei unserer Ankunft am Flughafen in Phnom Penh. Wir hatten nämlich 30 Tage und die Länge eines Monats verwechselt, denn manche Monate hatten ja 31 Tage. Also einen zuviel. Und genau das war unser Fehler. Allerdings war am Ende alles halb so wild. Jeder von uns zahlte zehn Dollar am Schalter und damit war das Problem geregelt.

Wir hatten uns vorab für das Test & Go Verfahren registriert, um in Thailand einreisen zu dürfen. Das hieß für uns nach Ankunft am Flughafen die Durchführung eines PCR-Tests und eine anschließende Übernachtung in einem Quartänehotel, um dort auf unsere Testergebnisse warten zu können. Waren diese negativ, hatten wir die offizielle Erlaubnis uns im Land frei bewegen zu dürfen.

Zu unserem Erstaunen lief dieses Verfahren reibungslos. Direkt nach Ankunft am Flughafen in Bangkok wurden wir von Angestellten in Empfang genommen, wurden zur Teststelle gebracht und anschließend ins Hotel. Von Vorne bis Hinten war alles organisiert. Noch am selben Abend bekamen wir die Ergebnisse in unser Hotelzimmer gebracht. Wir waren beide negativ und konnten nun unseren nächsten Reiseabschnitt starten.

Bangkok war ganz anders, als erwartet. Der Verkehr war gar nicht so chaotisch und die Gehwege erstaunlich ruhig. Das Stadtbild war außerdem ziemlich sauber. Lucas erinnerte sich an seinen letzten Besuch in Bangkok vor sieben Jahren. Da sei das nicht so gewesen. Überall lag Müll und zu Stoßzeiten hätten man sich regelrecht durch die Fußgängerzone durchzwängen müssen. Oberhalb dessen ragten unzählige Hochhäuser. Die meisten begründeten das neue Stadtbild mit der Corona Pandemie. Weniger Menschen ist gleich weniger Chaos. Und genau das konnten wir auf jeden Fall bestätigen.

Wir blieben insgesamt vier Nächte in Bangkok.

Die Streetfood-Kultur ist in Bangkok sehr groß. An jeder Ecke steht praktisch ein Essensstand. Gebratenes Fleisch, Curries, Süßigkeiten, Obst, Shakes oder sogar kleine Dönerspieße. Auf kurz oder lang findet hier jeder das Richtige für sich. Man beachte links, wie sauber die Gehwege sind.

Rechts oben ist übrigens die Durian-Frucht. Von Touristen auch gerne Stinkefrucht genannt. Für die Asiaten ist es eine Delikatesse, für uns Europäer ist der Geruch allerdings sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig. Es riecht intensiv nach etwas, wie einer sehr überreifen Mango mit einem Hauch Restmüll.

Die Tempel von Arun wirkten sehr prunkvoll. Es glitzerte und funkelte an jeder Ecke. In Bangkok kann man einige dieser Tempelanlagen entdecken.

Auch in Thailand besuchten wir einen Kochkurs. Die asiatische Küche ist nämlich wirklich spannend! Dieses Mal kochten wir das landestypische Nudelgericht Pad Thai. Außerdem ein Red Curry namens Panang Curry und eine Suppe mit Kokosmilch namens Tom Kha Gai. Als Nachspeise gab es frische Mango mit einem besonderen klebrigen Reis. Die asiatische Version von Milchreis quasi.

Witziger Funfact: In Stadtpark Lumphini leben wilde Bindenwarane. Aufgrund der fortschreitenen Urbanisierung flüchteten sich die Tiere in den begrünten Park. Dieses Echsen können eine Größe von bis zu drei Metern erreichen! Für Menschen sind sie eher nicht gefährlich. Wir waren von diesen Tieren wirklich beeindruckt!

Cambodian food in the neighborhood. Phnom Penh is a place we've been going for years. The food is consistently good, the owners are friendly, and it's full without being crowded. Our favorite thing tonight? Singapore Noodles (Pan- fried noodles in yellow curry powder, bean sprout, roasted peanuts & green onion). Super savory flavor and nice texture from the curry powder. Close second had to be the Noum Om Beng (Cambodian crepe stuffed with pork, shrimp, coconut bean sprouts served with peanut sauce). Having that gift of time to hang out in the neighborhood, Phnom Penh was a good choice. #SWSEats #EatLocal #LaurelDistrict #cambodianfood (at Phnom Penh Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9TRrGxBU8a/?igshid=nez3fld9gtox

J.P. had the great pleasure of visiting the family of a colleague at their home in Angkor Phdeak, a rural community about 50km out of Phnom Penh. Ms. Kunthea works for Lutheran Hour Ministries in Cambodia. Nearly all of her family are believers in Jesus, save for two sisters. Pastors Songim and Naro had previously visited one of those sisters, Chan Thou, to share the gospel and encourage her. On this visit, after a yummy lunch which included curried dog meat and ants with rice, Chan Thou professed her desire to be baptized. She and Pastor Songim had a brief time of teaching and preparing. Then, with the family gathered around, Pastor Songim baptized her in the name of the Triune God. Tears were in Kunthea's eyes as she shared a word of encouragement afterwards. The family had long prayed for this moment. J.P. encouraged her with Romans 6:3-4, reminding her that her old life has died with Jesus, and just as he rose from the dead, so now she has a new life with him.

What an absolute JOY to witness these precious moments! Praise God!

How do I begin to reflect on our time in SE Asia?  It feels like a vivid dream, so real but somehow already distant. Each country and city we visited had a unique style but we found general similarities. SE Asia was bold, fragrant, chaotic, colorful, and loud. Some of these descriptors may seem obtuse but that's not at all what I aim to convey. I would just as quickly use the same breath to describe it as charming, stunning, energetic, proud, and functional. Everything seemed to simmer together into this positively flavorful experience. It's like the first time trying Thai green curry. It's a combination of spices, creaminess, and after burn that initially jumbles the senses but settles down leaving a craving for more. That said, not everyone likes green curry, just like SE Asia probably isn't for everyone. I am not sure this metaphor effectively communicates the point I am trying to make but it is better than the alternative weather based metaphor I was considering. Trust me, that one was far more boring. It may be easier to simply recall some of our favorite moments. It was that 5am first meal in KL after a thirty plus hour travel day. They were probably just average noodles and average steam toast but they meant we had made it, started this bold international journey we had been planning for so long. It was our time in the sanctuary interacting with elephants realizing how fragile we are in their presence and how fragile they are because of our presence. It was our jungle trek in northern Thailand sleeping on the ground and catching our own food. It was navigating the busy street markets filled with all goods imaginable and confronting social anxieties the large crowds can bring. It was sharing two weeks with two close friends as we ventured from Bangkok to Phnom Penh. It was embarking on our first cruise in Ha Long Bay, a place I had discovered in a magazine many years before but didn't know it by name until this year. It was the fantastic people we met along the way, a number of which we hope to see again. And it was the food. Oh yes, the food. The region has changed us both in big and little ways. The big ways impact who we are and how we see the world. The little things, not so much. Let me provide an example of a tiny change that is also something I enjoy ranting about. Sometimes we would come across a line of tuk tuks and each driver would pose the simple question: "tuk tuk?" Let me start by saying I understand this is their business, their livelihood. But I would think after the third, forth, or even fifth "No thank you" in a row (undeniably audible to all) the rest would give up. They don't! So how has this changed me? "Tuk tuk" is a question I can hear when I close my eyes and will likely prevent me from ever being able to meditate. In Cambodia I purchased a t-shirt, one I like very much, that says "No tuk tuk today" on the front. Clearly I am not the only one who has these feelings. If someone asked what my personal hell would be I am pretty sure I would say an endless line of tuk tuks all wanting to know if I need a ride. Like I said, this is topic I enjoy ranting about. Now we are heading to South Asia. We will be spending a little less than a month in Sri Lanka and nearly two months in India. No doubt our experiences in SE Asia will help us deal with any challenges this next leg of our journey will bring.
