Good luck with the vanilla.kampotfarmer wrote:Being in Kampot, pepper, papaya and coconut. Trying myself on Australian heat resistant blueberries and vanilla now.
I guess you got it from the pepper crew.
Do you really think you have the right climate there in Kampot?
Serious question as we've got a bit going on up here in Osoam too.

Re: Japanese for Jesus
Vanilla will do well there I am sure. I grew it very successfully in Far North Queensland.
Will give it a try in Kep next year.

Re: Japanese for Jesus
Are you sure that those were Japanese Christians protesting? Christianity is an imported foreign religion, unlike Asian religions such as Buddhism or home grown ones such as Shintoism. Also Christianity is a clear minority. Japanese conformity isn’t really conducive to protests, unless in a conformist manner. Also with low birth rates, the government is encouraging marriage to gaigins.
Maybe those were native Okinawans protesting? The middle of the island is a giant military base.
Japanese adopted western science and ideas to save their culture from being conquered by the Westerners. The side benefits of medicine and better food is not as important as preserving what it means to be Japanese.

I lived on japan, five visits all up and i can tell you there is a fine line in being "polite" and " fake".
They actually xenaphobic of the outside world and still hold prejudice towards all other asians.
Similiar to thais they only tolerate outsiders.
You could be next.
