Orange cave men

Why do men when they have beer and football suddenly transform into cave men? The only way of communication is YEEEEAAAAA WOOOOO etc. And every word that they pronounce is produced with that lower sound, higher volume and prolonged: for example ...

Camping is just not my thing

I’m absolutely positive now, camping is just not my thing. Eventhough having a camper is supposed to be luxurious camping, I don’t agree! To maneuver the stuff of 4 people plus all kinds of materials for work is just impossible. The whole day we ...

Winter in Africa

Vuvuzela's drive me nuts!

(Oma de Nederlanse vertaling staat onder de Engelse tekst) My first few moments in South Africa were quite different from what I had expected. I was dreaming of red dry lands, mutton dishes with beans, colourful people and vuvuzela’s. Reality ...

Ben ik van Engels bloed...

I discovered something about myself in the last couple of weeks... I’m more of a patriot than I assumed. It all started some time ago when my colleagues and I went outside to admire one of the numerous parades that took place on the Rangsit ...

No, no, no, no, no

Not even in Bangkok for 24 hours and off we go to Singapore. Why exactly is a very long story but it had to do with visa and working permits. I mean, I don’t mind, 5 days in Singapore is fine with me! It was a bit tiring all that jumbo jet ...

Turtle rocks, Herman van Veen and Tibetan lamas

Slowly blending in to Mongolian life, ok maybe expat Mongolian life. I’m afraid that I have to admit that I haven’t tried any real Mongolian restaurants yet; however I am completely fan of a Mongolian delicacy called: Botz. Didn’t eat that in ...

Next station is Gloningen!
