Cassava (or Tapioca) harvest and recipes
Cassava (or Tapioca) harvest and recipes
When I was on a bike tour in Khao Yai last year, we passed by a Cassava field, and our guide gave us two stems that were already cut out. He told me they just need to be sticked in the soil, but farmers would use a secret chemical to make the roots grow. I used organic fertilizer and coffee instead, and it turned out to work well.
A few days ago I harvested from the the two (already 2.5 meter tall) trees, the result you can see in the pictures. I then cut the stems again in 6 pieces and planted them again.
What to do with it? Thanks to the twitter people, I got nice recipes. One is peeling and cooking the roots for about 30 minutes. Then grind green chili, shallots and add coconut oil and salt to taste, use it as a chutney.
Easy make are cassava sticks: Slice the roots into sticks, cook them for 5 minutes and then fry in oil. Add salt and spices.
And finally a German version: Cook the roots, let it cool down, cut in 5mm slices and fry in a pan, together with onions. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This is a another video I made for the 2 minutes film festival. It deals with consumerism, probably the biggest threat to the middle class. Once our time is only spend for work and consumption, we become human robots.

Paying your Kebab with Bitcoin
I made a short little film for the 2 Minute Film Festival about a Kebab Shop which accepts Bitcoins. It is also a meeting place for the Bangkok Bitcoin Meetup.
The shop is located right after Sukhumvit 69/1 near Phrakhanong BTS station.

A group of construction workers on their way to work
A group of construction workers on their way to work
Bangkok is built by foreigners. Most construction workers are from neighboring countries, like Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar. Their home is quite often the construction site, where they live in more or less makeshift huts, with some exceptions. Sometimes they get apartments, but have to share one room with many people. The mat is the bed, and the clothes are the pillows.
Migrants workers are the backbone of Thailands real estate boom, no way all those condos would have been build by Thai workers. Yet, the migrants suffer from low income, they are away from their family for a very long time. And still , they doing better than their comrades on fishing boats, or even worst those hold in camps near the Malaysian border.
So, if you have enjoyed labour day by visiting the recently opened shopping malls, at least thank inside your heart those who build it.
