Look out Willibalds

 I found a craft beer brewery a 20 minute walk from the hotel. Heart of Darkness. They have 2 AllAsia gold medals and numerous silver and bronze. Started by a New Yorker. They have a brewery in Singapore as well.  I had two beer - Kurtz’s Insane IPA and then a Mango and Passion fruit Tropical IPA. Both 5 star. I first asked for a Lemongrass Wit but they were out. Their burgers were Australian beef and another 5 star rating. 







Check out the Eloquent Phantom Imperial Stout above. 



The flights are about 2 beers worth. I asked the couple next to me if I could take a pic of their flight. They were from the Netherlands. 

Sorry Brian. I can’t bring any home. At least on a par with Willibald’s and Fairweather and tropical flavours our fave guys haven’t haven’t made yet.

    Now that’s your kind of place Jamie with all the different beers! The burger looks delicious but wow that’s a really first big bite!

 So glad you dropped by. Feel free to sit a spell. We can just chill and enjoy the quiet here ... or if you prefer, we can mull over the state of this sofa, or the state of our immediate surroundings, or the state of this rather chaotic world.  Seems like the uncertainty principle of the quantum world is being released to join those pesky ills of Pandora's box. Maybe together we can deflect their "slings and arrows" from direct hits on our good natures. I find peaceful solace sitting here, but "when the Quantum of Solace drops to zero, humanity and consideration of one human for another is gone and the relationship is finished."  In a few days I will travel to ancient lands, I will stand on ground that hunter-gatherers first walked 40 000 years ago. I will touch the 900 year old pillars in the World Heritage Site of the Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia. I hope to find a peace born of simplicity, a grounding aura that reminds us that we are connected to the ghosts ...

The Fat Lady (and me?) Sings

A deep dive into an alien culture is a first for me. I not only saw as a tourist, I learned as a traveller -  about people, about history, about similarities and differences, about me. I have a deep respect for these SE Asian cultures. There were Jamie challenges to overcome - the constant demanding requests to buy or give money for an unasked service (a man on the street in Ho Chi Minh City started to clean the sole of my shoe with a toothbrush and wanted money; a 6 or 7 year old girl put a live tarantula on my chest and wanted 1000 riel, I didn’t even know it was there); the bargaining and negotiating over price (there is a locals price and a tourist price; I’m lousy at that and rarely did); often no sticker prices or receipts given (making for an interesting trip through customs); the lack of personal space given (street vendors often grab your arm of block your exit; sometimes members of the tour group are nose to your nose); the kamikaze scooter/motorcycle cowboys and cowgirls...
