Lazy day, going out for breakfast and resting wrist a little. Nice day too, not to hot and no rain after noon shower – so far. Stepping on the balcony reveals rainclouds in the distance and swallows flying low too.
Annoying buddist or political something screamer around corner from hotel. Noice amplified through shitty speakers and has been going for hours. Hope its not one of those daylong events. Anyway, nothing romantic or exotic about it – noice polution in it’s purest form. Imagine some 80 year old reciting the alphabet nonstop, amplified by said sound equipment and any intonation punishable by death.
Went to a pepper plantation today, just outside Kampot. This area is/was/might be again world famous for its pepper. Interesting farm with no machines, only woman sorting each single pepper corn with tweezers. Like diamonds.
Pepper grows in many places around the globe, but as with vine it all depends on the climate, soil etc.
Pepper here is harvested in march/april, so you won’t see any fruit on the plants. Black, red and white pepper is all made from the same plant by the way.
