Thailand Old Hand

$4.99 – $12.99Select optionsThirty Years around the Bars and Backstreets of Asia
Peter Jaggs has the unerring ability of being able to blunder into a good story wherever he travels in Asia. Whether perusing the bars and brothels of Pattaya and Angeles City, meeting up with an archaic spirit doctor in the wilds of the Isaan countryside, losing his way in the war-time tunnels of Cu-Chi in Vietnam, becoming embroiled in a punch-up with the local tough-guy in a Philippine backstreet or encountering an ethereal ghost on a deserted, moonlit beach in Thailand, he tells the tale with his own peculiar stamp of originality, humor and accuracy.
The twenty true short stories in this – the author’s eighth book – are as colorful, diverse and sometimes as confusing as the continent of Asia itself. Many will make you laugh, others may make you want to cry and one or two will probably appall you. Whatever your reaction may be to some of the memories of a man who has spent almost three decades making the most of what Asia has to offer, ‘Thailand Old Hand’ makes for a rattling good suitcase read and is a book you will find hard to put down.“The author is an Old Thailand Hand; it’s apparent he has been around long enough to become insightful” Bangkok Post
“Jaggs has become like a master brewer, skillfully distilling a wealth of living experiences into some very funny moments” Pattaya Trader

Olongapo
$2.99 Burnett, Lawrence
Add to cart$2.99Add to cartVietnam’s Playground
Olongapo was an extraordinary part of our world known to millions. This tiny section of the Far East served as playground for Vietnam. An amusement park for the American Seventh Fleet, contractors and other service members from around the world. Rides in this park featured people’s lives, creating impassioned experiences. Written with deepest respect for those with their names etched into The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. Many who experienced joy for the last time while in Olongapo. The Olongapo experience was a true phenomenon, a saturation of life.
During the peak of Vietnam, the area grew from a population of 40,000 in 1964 to a bulging 138,000 plus by 1969. The undisputed king of liberty ports in Asia, Olongapo’s nightclubs bloomed from 35 to over 300. Pay by play girls increased to over 8,000 while pay by the hour hotels zoomed to more than 200. All of this amazing expansion crammed into just over one acre of frenzy. Men who had been off the coast of Vietnam and people shore based made up the 9 to 14 thousand visitors to the city every night of the year. Most were on brief liberty passes after months at sea and others awaited transfer to Vietnam. The combination created a free spending environment that poured millions of dollars into Olongapo every month.
My novel is not just for the millions who miss such a unique concentration of life, it is for those who never knew the Olongapo experience.

Come Here…and I’ll Show You

She calls out with a real soft voice an’ summons me to some more arduous tasks in the bedroom. I slurp down another drink to damp down the fires of lust.
“Natalie,” I tell her, “I’ll be with you in a few minutes. I just gotta finish this last check-list.”
But she wasn’t to be put off. She undulated into the room, came behind me an’ put her arms around my neck. Her naked little body seemed to glow in the half-light of the room, her bare arms were silken an’ brown. Lights were dancin’ in her eyes as she pouted an invitation to me.
“Pleease..,.” she purred.
By that time I was pawin’ the ground for it. All I could do was get my kit off an’ jump into bed.Quick View -

Είναι άγρια μεσάνυχτα και ετοιμάζομαι να φύγω με τρένο για το Ασιούτ. Μου έχουν πει εκεί ότι ζει ένας γέροντας που έχει ξεχάσει πότε γεννήθηκε και είναι ο αϊράφουν Μάντουι = ο Μάντης.
Δεν θυμάται καν, αν είναι Αιγύπτιος, ή κάποιας άλλης εθνικότητας. Μιλάει άπταιστα πολλές γλώσσες συν και της Αραβικής που ας πω ότι είναι η μητρική μου γλώσσα, αλλά αυτό είναι κάτι, που δεν θα το παραδεχτώ ποτέ. Εγώ είμαι Αιγύπτια και όχι αράβων γέννημα.
Άλλοι είναι οι Άραβες και άλλοι είμαστε εμείς οι Αιγύπτιοι. Όσο και να φωνάζουν ότι είμαστε Άραβες, δεν είμαστε. Μας έκαναν με το ζόρι αραβόφωνες μόνο και μόνο για την θρησκεία που μας επιβλήθηκε και είναι το Ισλάμ.
Το όνομα μου είναι Χολόντ και στα Ελληνικά μεταφράζετε η Αιώνια. Έχω πολύ λευκό δέρμα και πολύ διαφορετικά μάτια. Το αριστερό μου μάτι είναι καφετί και το δεξί μου γαλάζιο! Αυτό είναι πολύ αξιοπερίεργο με μένα, που ζω ανάμεσα σε ασμαράνις = μελαμψούς και από παιδί με φωνάζουν “Αλ ογιούν μουχταλιφίν = Τα δίχρωμα μάτια”. Στην χώρα που ζω, έχω ακούσει πολλούς θρύλους και από διάφορα χείλη έχω ακούσει για τον κρυμμένο πάπυρο, που τον έχει κάποιος και δεν τον ξέρει κανείς.
Κατά καιρούς το έχει γράψει ο ίδιος, χαράζοντας το στους δρόμους επάνω σε πέτρες ότι… “άλλη είναι η αλήθεια και αλλιώς μας την έχουν μάθει”. Αν είναι ο γέροντας που θα πάω να βρω, αυτός που χάραζε τα μηνύματα, θα είναι για μένα η μεγάλη ανακάλυψη του αιώνα.
Θαρρώ πως αυτό το χρωστάω σε μένα την ίδια και στην υπόσταση μου σαν Αιγύπτια που είμαι γέννημα θρέμμα και στο όνομα μου!!Quick View
