The lodge and future site of Camp 152 & Community Center is coming along, and now the rough floorplan has been finalized.

In Cambodia it is not uncommon for men seeking "renewed libido" to eat "medicinal dog meat," and on this day a stranger came through the village looking to make a quick sale. 🚧 Lodge

Bricks are being laid, basic underground plumbing is done, and occasional family tuk-tuk trips keep building materials from running out.

Our cabin, soon-to-be Airbnb cabin, recently just got a small upgrade from a woodworker and furniture builder that lives in our village.

Even though our land isn't fully ready for business, that doesn't mean we can't prepare the cabin enough to market it on Airbnb.

There is nothing quite like a jungle trail ride involving a classic Honda and some poorly marked but very active Cambodian minefields.

My oldest daughter is getting more and more confident on her 50cc SuperCub, and we now take road trips together for shopping and other things.

I never would've imagined one of my greatest teachers in life would be a feral communist cat, but ChairWoman Meow has taught me how to accept the things I cannot change.

On a recent market trip 45 minutes from home, a rainstorm sent my wife and I looking for shelter, so we gave Srey-Yuu's SuperCub an oil change.

ChairWoman Meow recently faced her river fears by joining me on a boulder hopping trip near the rapids at our home here in the Cardamom Mountains.

During my blog hiatus I acquired a 1996 Yamaha Alfa motorbike, an old two-stroke motorcycle from Thailand that is no longer produced.

It is hard to believe I haven't made a single blog post since March 30th despite it being one of my goals each day, but life has been a rollercoaster for several months.

Recently my wife and I took a trip to the photo shop 45km away in Pramaoy, the last outpost town with modern amenities like 12th grade, print shops, donuts, and things like that.

I recently had a craving for soft tacos, but as I am not an expert tortilla maker, I decided to just go with my already proven rotis.

The day has finally come where I feel I need to start taking a monthly income from my ASEAN Hive Community work, so I hope you ASEAN Hivers are understanding and supportive of this move.

I can finally confirm a kind of bird I've been seeing the last few years is not a rare species of vulture, but actually a great hornbill.

I am almost certain that most hoo-mans think their cat is the cutest and smartest, but in my case it's different because this is actually true.

Trail-riding is the latest activity Srey-Yuu has been doing to hone her motorcycle skills, and we do it all on motorcycles most Khmers consider too underpowered or old-fashioned.

While we were in Phnom Penh I picked up some off-road tires for my SuperCub 90 because the roads here are full of sand, gravel, and potholes.

We're back home from Phnom Penh with Srey-Yuu's SuperCub, so now it's time to begin the motorbike training and get back to daily life.
