Vampire Freaks China Doll

trekking in the jungle and visit a village of ethnic minority Ratanakiris

greets you love her:)

the last three days were again the madness! we have to ban development of a three-day tour through the jungle made a visit to a village of ethnic minorities in ostkambodscha. Overall, we had people 7 banni (guide 1), mr. nei (guide 2), Fabian (from Austria) Ellen & Charles (from Canada) and Martin & me.
fabian, ellen and charles we met by chance and since we all come to ban development on the trek, we share this tour booked. as a group's is cheaper and makes even more fun.
went there so come on saturday morning. We were picked up by a pick-up truck. because not all fit into the car, there have martin and banni comfortably in the cargo area. we were taken to a village where mr. nei, a member of the local tribe and our guide, started us on foot in the jungle.
approximately 4 hours we wandered through the forest. there was no real rain forest, more of a productive forest for the indigenous, the still quite independent from the city life. but it was nice to walk again and be in nature. We stopped for lunch on a river, where mr. nei and banni us a wonderfully delicious conjured esses:)



then we walked again through the area, across the thicket - mr. nei always vorran with the machete, which he hacked a way to release us. this afternoon-trekk was without luggage, since we were back on the river, as should be our night.
supper we all hopped in front of the river for a swim! the guuuut did, because we were more than sweaty .. and better it was not, as brought us a bottle of rice wine banni, five of us in the cool wet emptied;)
gave the dinner's beef with vegetables in a bamboo rod. it was incredibly delicious! mr. nei everything stuffed into the bamboo and held over the fire. Madness-what is that! And of course as always traveling. ... And a bottle of rice wine.
then we sat still for a while cozy beisamen before we lay down in the us-army-hammocks. that was the first time that we slept in hammocks and that too in the Cambodian jungle:) it was actually quite comfortable, you can even sleep on the side. only get the "stomach sleeper" would problems. The good thing was the haengematten that they have a mosquito net with it - one thing without which you get by here, not in the tropics would. we were so well protected:)
next morning when we peeled from the mat and on the river zaehneputzten, we saw that mr. nei already full of many fish had been caught! He had brought a networked and 5 am already opened for fishing in the morning. .. Luckily there was not the fish for breakfast, which was so bissl my fears when I animals the bleeding excluded dangle on a stock saw .. it's there but delicious noodles with vegetables and even a coffee! We moved to continue to eat and made the first stop for lunch again. then there was also the fish, the mr. nei in the morning had caught. wow! was delicious! the fish were fried so crisp that we were able to wegschnorpsen as chips.
the afternoon we came to a village where the indigenous tribe of mr. nei in small bambushuettchen lived and grad party on the evil were. somehow have ne new built cottage, which is celebrated for three days .. and a cow was sacrificed .. and from early to late rice wine drinking and dancing!
So we came into this village, left our luggage in the versamlungshuette and then were called to the party. yes, and then we went off properly, as you can you even imagine ni! .. But you might come try: Imagine for quite a horde of native blankets with colorful, ohrloechern huge, teeth partially rotten, before dancing in the mud of rice wine drinking and bawling. everyone was just completely drunk! and now we came and had to join ..



, the total was over the moon and we were on the giant vats strained rice wine, where you had to drink from a straw so much to a whole cup of water in the huge make up tub without anything misses ran. (The technology works similar to the mate tea technology from Argentina, but just here with alcohol ..). and we had no chance, we had to drink again and all cheered and began to sing far to do so. resultat .. of course it was that we were drunk .. martin and smoked then so convincing from a strange banana leaves .. and had to drink more schnapps .. for more he can not remember .. only that he is still played catch with children.



Meanwhile, I'm with Ellen and the native dance and sing:) it was really awesome, I had always wanted to pinch, to realize that this is just reality. it was just too weird, what was going on! but it was incredibly funny and certainly the highlight of our recent trip in Southeast Asia.
the night we spent in the village in hammocks in the versammlungshuette. slept really well we have but not all, because it was clean cold! a feeling that we have become almost a stranger. yes, and then the pigs grunted at us the whole night and the cows mooing .. The huts are all built on stilts so, so are most of the animals below. and even then the cock crowed three clock in the morning .. 5 am and began drinking the people of the village sing again with and rice wine .. woke
poof, and when Martin then terrible headache and alkfahne, he realized that his glasses were gone. hmmm ... bloederweise he could also remind of nothing more real ... we have looked everywhere, but the glasses can not see, unfortunately. surely he has to dance at or begin play in the mud-lost and not noticed it. Fortunately, he still has a spare pair with and the old was no longer the latest.
after breakfast we were with the pick up truck in the village picked up and brought in yet another. the landscape is amazing - everywhere forest, rivers, roads clay-Huckel, bamboo hut, native blankets with colorful .. sooo different, peaceful sooo, sooo quaint. banni told us a little about the rituals of the people there how they worship trees, are married with 13 years of sacrificing cattle at every fete and until a few years in the case of a birth of twins, one of the children in the jungle and bring to die, because twins bring bad luck .. Luckily, several organizations have ensured that no longer happens.
on the way back to Ban Lung, we looked next to the village or to a waterfall and used the opportunity for a group picture of our troops.



After we returned to our hostel Ban Lung checked in and were finally able to shower again (we saw namely like the pig!), cooked for us banni and mr. nei again delicious and brought us to the volcanic lake. The lake was beautiful and clean and warm! we drank rice wine again, which seemed even stronger than that in the village .. hicks;) yes, it was very funny:)
at night we again with Ellen, Charles Fabian and banni met for dinner. mr. nei had to go back to his village. with the dear folks, we felt very good and are really glad to meet our last to have sooo much fun in Cambodia again. It's always a shame that people as soon as you become warm to each other, again bye have to say.

now we are bissl sad because tomorrow we go to Laos. Cambodia, we have states of all that we have traveled, mostly to my heart. But we come back, that's for sure!

again very sweet greetings from the beautiful Cambodian
martin and Chrissi:)
