 An answer to "IcanFLYtoHELL":
 He didn't understand what I wrote about. It was a very friendly and relaxing chat with a nice Japanese guy and two local girls hanging around. We were chatting about languages, Japanese culture, and the Martial arts topic, was just around 2% of the whole time of the conversation.
 I don't advise people, including YouTubers, to risk their health in these way. My goal is to show them how to be more careful, awared, fit, skillful and prepared, learning from my bitter experience. But not everyone understands well this and some are waisting their time in critical baseless posts instead of learning and training hard.

 Yes I will answer to some comments...

Hello everyone! Thank you very much for the comments! Some of them were good, others, well, not that good... Some people are just lacking knowledge, education, experience, but step by step, everyone may learn and know better. I am here to help:
 1. An answer to "IAmFitzRoy":
 There is no another side of the story, I am really telling the truth and here are my certificates and diploma, to prove that I was able to learn philosophy and sports (I spent my life learning and improving, so I got more certificates than the average person, not everyone is one-sided, some people are more encyclopedian (for the definition see here: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/encyclopedian) than the average ones):

 

 

 .

 There is nothing weird in my comments about the martial arts. There are even not many so-called comments about it. You didn't read and/or didn't remember carefully the part where I said we talked with the Japanese guy about the language, culture, martial arts... What's so weird?

 Now is clear, right? Philosophy (Master's degree), self-defense (Expert level), yoga (Expert level) and aerobics (basic level)

 I strongly disagree that all those robbed and had other problems people were looking for trouble. Maybe some of them does, but usually people go there to relax, eat, do sports. The criminals just target them as victims. And how having a friendly chat with a nice Japanese guy and two local girls during sport exercising is "looking for trouble" if you are in a normal area?!

 Yes, maybe that place isn't as dangerous as others in the West, Africa, South America, etc. The point was that it's one of the very dangerous areas in Phnom Penh. And I am trying to make more people know it and avoid it.

 Foolishly? Well, as I said it was just a friendly conversation during some sports routine... In my opinion it's more foolish to run every day in that area which is full of, as you admit, different types of criminal activity (you even mentioned there are drugs!!!)... and you still going to run exactly there every day?! Not wise.

Eastern things / Avoided successfully another danger

« on: August 27, 2023, 11:48:44 PM »

 As I said already most of the Cambodians I meet everyday are good people and there are no complains. But there are those terrible ones which you should know about and do your best to survive!
 Here comes another real story:I avoided successfully another danger next to the river in Phnom Penh. There was a Japanese guy talking with two local girls during doing his sports exercises and because I am a sporty person too, joined them, had some friendly chat about Japanese culture, language and when it came to the martial arts, suddenly a local thug appeared and approached me closely. As a self-defense expert, I asked him what he wants keeping a reasonable distance, he said he wants to fight using the traditional Khmer martial art. Knowing stories about people robbed with knives by gang groups exactly in that area, I decided that maybe it's a trap and because the thug was dirty and bigger than me, l thought that even a fair fight may be dangerous (some infection from his teeth for example), so I refused him the fight offer and moved back to the sports tools next to the Japanese guy and those two girls. The thug followed me there insisting to have the fight. Then I refused again and already faster stepped aside, he continued to chase me, I started to run, keeping an eye on him. At the same time one of the girls shout to me to go away as soon as possible and at to that time he started to run faster after me, when I saw he is close to me and maybe enough close to reach me, I slowed down and shouted very loudly, which made him to stop chasing me and then I moved to the opposite side of the street safely. As a self-defense expert I know my lesson: the goal outside there is to come home safe, not to prove that you're stronger than the thugs. Especially in areas like that where they're usually several thugs together with knives and other weapons!

 New conclusions:

 1. As you see being in a good shape helps. If I wasn't fast enough, he could easily catch me, but my fast reflexes and strong feet helped me to avoid all his approaching, chasing, etc. I didn't get hit, kicked, grabbed, catched, etc.
 
 2. Knowing when to stop just running and to use some offensive tricks (like raising your voice, readiness to block and hit back, etc.) also is life saving.

 3. Back to the value of the knowledge. If I didn't know all those terrible riverside stories, maybe I will be like "Well, let's spar, man!" thinking of him as a normal Khmer person who just loves martial arts, and getting stabbed  or worse. But the info made me ready to expect someone like him and to be ready for a successful escape like the one demonstrated above.

 Now all those non-sporty, lazy people who just jealous that I have better shape, survival skills, knowledge and education, probably will make silly comments like I am narcissistic or full of myself, or even worse words. But it only shows that they can understand that I am writing this to teach them being healthier, better looking and safer. They should try to realize that I am doing this altruistically!

Eastern things / The best pizzas I ate in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Pizza 🍕

 I don't eat pizzas often, but when I saw Romano restaurant I felt that it is like an authentic Italian restaurant (the tables, the style, you know). So I gave it a try and, surely, the pizzas there were amazingly tasty and 100% Italian. That's why I went there again and again.
 Some photos:

 And four related photos:
1. The broken but saved old bag. Nothing lost.

2. The street (Dekcho Damdin 154) and the exact spot of the incident.
, .
3. My not huge but sporty body that is the winner.
...

 Some conclusions:

 a) Never neglect the learning of the human nature, cultures, subcultures, etc. Learn about the concrete place which you are going to visit as much as you can.

 b) Stay focused and aware. Don't be paranoid. Just know that there are some bad guys around too.
 
 c) Don't be lazy. Use every free minute to exersize, to sport. For example, last night minutes before the incident, even suffering from fever and sleepy, I did some pull ups and other exercizes outside.

Almost got robbed in Phnom Penh

Won against the muggers thanks to my sporty body and right knowledge

 
  Most of the Cambodians I met so far  are polite, responsive, responsible and generally positive. But there are some criminals too, obviously, and this a true story from last night (23:00, August 10, 2023).

 On a central street, close to the National museum, two motorbike muggers tried to rob me; to grab my old shopping bag. But I reacted fast: holding it stronger, pulling it back, shouting loudly and, as a result, they dropped it losing some balance before driving away. Then some locals and foreigners came to see is there something wrong. Even a tuktuk driver suggested to give a free ride to home if I need... As a said most of the people are nice.
 I called the police (117) but there was only some recorded message in Khmer language which I don't speak/understand well and thus after a few tries I just left a message in English about the incident.

How the right knowledge helped:
I learned a lot about the Cambodian crimes and I was aware that this type is around. Also I have got Master's degree in Philosophy and Anthropology, and a self-defense expert level certification, so I was just ready for this and didn't get shocked or surprised. The more you know the more you grow.
[How the sports helped:
 Since my childhood I practice kungfu and then I added TKD, Karate, JKD and MMA. Recently I am trying to learn almost all useful Martial arts. Plus, yoga, aerobics some crossfit and... chess . All these helped me a lot to become stronger, smarter and faster. Last night I had fever + I was sleepy because the hotel where I stay is noisy + I hold my old bag in the left hand. But still I won. This is the result of the good sports culture.

 Първият случай на добринка със стикерчета беше с един ученик от началните класове в автобуса. Някои казват, че бил голям за лепенки; нямало да му се харесат. Момчето беше учтиво, проявяваше уважение и интерес, та затова аз реших да го зарадвам с няколко стикера. Както очаквах, то им се зарадва и даже си ги залепи на телефона, показа ми ги, залепени вече там, с гордост и радост.

 Лепенки или "стикери" както някои предпочитат да ги наричат... Какво за тях ли? Ами намерих им добро приложение за правене на малки добрини дори и да не преподавам в момента. За съжаление имаше доста багаж и трябваше да пожертваме доста неща, за да се вместим в нормалното за носене. Та и над 80 процента от стикерите бяха просто оставени при последното оптимизиране на багажа.  Но, все пак, взех десетина и сега ги употребявам за малки добринки.

 Because many colleagues of him also think so. The person is a good contributor but overestimated the genetics. The blackpiller of the IQ studies.😃😄
 Try to think why kids with same genetics have different intelligence if one of them is educated in university or army and another one is raised in the jungle.

Офис стол

  Ето и трейдване на офис стол (някои го наричат и офисен стол). Въпросният стол малко преди да бъде трейднат (на снимка за спомен, както и за повече илюстративност в този блог):   . Колко струва? За колко бе продаден (изтъргуван; трейднат)? Тези въпроси вълнуват вашия ум в момента, нали? Ами няма да отлагам и веднага отговарям - бе оценен на 5 юана. Това на колко лева се равнява? По курса за деня - 1,24 лева, т. е. 1 лев и 24 стотинки. Това е положението. Да има трейдинг. Да няма зян.
