Still don’t think I’ve seen true uppers yet, but this nearly-there intermediate on Nepenthes kongkandana is the largest yet. And pretty well glows in the upper portions of the greenhouse.
A lot of the Indochinese species are starting to either vine or go nuts with new basals, so trimming may be in order for some soon…but dishearteningly, finally had one of them (Nepenthes rosea) produce a flower stalk for the first time, only to grow right into the freaking light and fry off before I knew it was there. It had better make another or I’m gonna remain pissed…

This Famous Tree Temple Isn't at Angkor Wat Like Everyone Thinks

See this massive tree swallowing ancient temple stones? Everyone assumes it's Angkor Wat, but it's actually Ta Prohm - the "Tomb Raider temple." One …

A surprise find a couple nights ago: the chunkiest pitcher by a large margin on Nepenthes kongkandana that was hiding between the pots. It’s begun transitioning finally to uppers again so they’re getting smaller and slimmer once more, but it definitely showed off with this one.

THAILAND – CAMBODIA AT WAR

The #ThaiCambodia conflict has been brewing for some time. It is at a stage of erupting into a full blown war. It will destabilize the #IndoChina peninsula as also the #ASEAN region. The conflict is a colonial leftover and is a quibble for the Preah Vihar Temple on their border.

I just re-watched the 1958 version of #TheQuietAmerican (starring Audey Murphy, an English actor whose name you'd never remember & an Italian actress in #YellowFace) which is set in #Indochina (aka #VietNam) in the 50's during the Vietnamese war vs the #French colonialist but is really about a #LoveTriange between an #American (who is probably a CIA -- then still probably known as the OSS -- agent, an English journalist & his Vietnamese mistress.

The film was remade in 2002 in a movie by the same name starring Michael Caine & Brendan Frazer. The 1958 movie is the better of the 2.

I have mixed feelings about this movie about 2 white men competing for an Asian woman, which reeks of the white male fetishization of Asian women but, if you strip away the inter-racial aspects of the film, it's mainly about what a man will do to save his relationship (including setting up his rival to be murdered) with the woman he loves.

I still give it a 6 out of 10 & own the DVDs of both versions.
