January 24TH , 2012.
Thailand.
But first I want to wish my Chinese Friends (Hong Kong)
a very Happy New Year !!!
Hello my very dear friends, I am very sorry to say
that I am writing this under a Palm-tree with a 36 degrees Celcius.
I became so depressed about the weather in Holland and
the fact that I hadn’t gone on holiday for quite a while, that I looked at the picture
in the post below a few times, and deceided to go away for a while.
Please don’t panic; as always you all will not notice
any difference.
Maybe I am 1 or 2 days later in replying e-mails, but
in Holland everything goes on.
I am at my English friends’ house in the south-east of
Thailand, near the borders of Laos and Cambodia.
They treat me here as a King and I am feeling already
so very much better than when I left Holland!
I will ofcourse keep doing the e-mails and as soon as
I am back in Holland, I will post here again (around february 9TH).
I also will show you pictures of everything.
As always including some of the scary animals I always
seem to meet.
I will not show the pictures this time, because I am sure
my dear old mother will call me to say “Get home!!!”
She knows me now about 52 years and she knows when I
hear some noise coming out of a ricefield; I just have to go look what it is.
So she tried again: “For God’s sake René, please stay away from the scary
animals, snakes and scorpions.”
I keep trying, but… anyway, until now (…) I am still
(quite) undamaged.
Although, just to share some Thai culture with you,
here is what we went through 2 days ago.
The wife of my friend owns a restaurant, so –as usual-
the police of Thailand comes by every now and than to take some
(bribing-protecting) money.
And 2 days ago it was that time again. My friend and
me were sitting at a table having a drink.
The policeman was so drunk he could harldly walk; on
duty ofcourse, with a loaded gun in his holster.
He was able to say 3 Engish lines: “I love you”, and
“I am the chief of the Royal Thai Police,” and “I can speak English very well”.
He came sitting at our table speaking out his 3 lines
over and over.
My friend lives already 8 years in this village, so he
knew the policeman. We just ignored him and went on with our comversation.
After an hour the drunk started the challenge to get
into his policecar and my friend asked him in English if he was going to kill
some children with his car.
I had a little hear-attack but realized he couldn’t
understand a word of it.
The second heartattack came when my dear friend told
me: “He could easily have taken his gun and shot us both death; bury us
somewhere in the ricefields and nobody would ever have found us again.”
This is indeed Thailand.
I love this country, but the corruption in the
embassies, law-enforcements and government will never make Thailand a Second
World Country when they go on like this.
Thailand treats the foreighners who live there in a
very bad way with all kinds of useless paperworks and laws.
When you get an accident in Thailand and you are so
unlucky to NOT be a Thai; it is always your fault.
Because of the Thai law: if YOU wouldn’t have come to
Thailand, the accident wouldn’t have happened……..
Well my dear friends, I keep saying Thailand is my
favorite country, just because of the weather, the relaxing way of life and the
beautiful women.
The warnings of the (paranoid) Western media about possible
terrorist-attacks in Bangkok is totally not in the minds of the people here.
The word ‘stress’ is unknown here, another thing I
love about this country.
Until the next time, I promise to stay out of
trouble….. and away from animals which can hurt you……
Stay well and take care,
René.

January 8TH , 2012.
Hello again in this new year my very dear friends.
I hope you are all rested after the holidays and life
goes on as normal.
The first day in Holland was rain as you can see:
01-01-2012
So that was a good day to sleep, which I needed…
The next days were stormy and the temperature was
about 10 Celcius; no real winter so far…
Holland was also almost in trouble because of the
water, in the north we had a kind of emergency for a while, but everything went
good and it is quiet and safe again.
At thos times, we again realize that half of our
country is below ‘sea-level’.
One last look back on 2011; Bin Laden death, Kadhaffi
dead, good news for the World.
As they call him in Peru:
"The Dutch Monster", -and I totally agree-, Joran van der Sloot is
going to stay a few decades in the prison of Lima.
He kiled a girl there just 5 years after he killed Nathalee Holloway.
So after his time in Peru, the Americans are eagerly waiting for him to
prosecute van der Sloot for the dissapearing of Nathalee on Aruba in 2005.
We are all ashamed of that individual and hope he will end his life in prison,
like an animal. like Mubarak, Assat, Mladic, and some more of those 'useless'
people who are still around making our World sick.
One thing we don't understand is, that a woman from Florida is supporting him
financially.....
But that same year I –again- lost some very dear
friends. Young people who couldn’t win from their illnesses.
I hope they will rest in peace now.
We Dutch are very proud to have an astronaut in the
International Space Station.
André Kuipers went there just before Christmas and
will stay there until may.
I follow him on Twitter and he makes the most
beautiful pictures:
Everything here is very good, no holidays coming yet,
but taking everything easy and focus on your orders and e-mails.
The mail will be back to normal these days, so I don’t
see any problems.
I hope most of you got their orders before the
holidays.
The quiet time of the year has started again, so all we
have to do is wait for the coming spring; as you may know, my most favorite
time of the year.
I will keep you updated on the criminal Willem
Holleeder, the man who kidnapped the late Freddie Heineken and probably is
responsible for the death of about 25 other criminals. The Dutch
law-enforcements are going to let him free at the end of this month….. not
enough evidence.
Until the next time dear friends, stay well and take
care,
René.

AGAIN:
Atje:

For you, there'll be no more crying,
For you, the sun will be shining,
And I feel that when I'm with you,

To you, I'll give the World

'Cause I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right.
And the songbirds are singing,
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before.
And I wish you all the love in the World,
But most of all, I wish it from myself.
And the songbirds keep singing,
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before, like never before.
like never before.”
