LOL, Jacob is interesting dutch friend from Alkmaar, famous cheese city in Netherlands. In end May 2011 I was beeen to Amsterdam for five days. Unfortunately, this popular cheese city listed on my travel schedule but I was lazy MIT boy and missed chance to visit weekly Friday cheese market in Alkmaar. I assume that in future I will be come back Holland soon.
I met Jacob on the way of bus from Pakse to Don Det (or called 4 thousand islands). In beginning we have total four people looking for available bungalow in Don Det. Unfortunately the owner of Mr. B bungalow said they have only 3 rooms available, so Jacob was decided to find another place, alonely to say good bye to us.
After few hours we met again in this small island, we hang out for dinner and next morning took the bike tour to disvoer the beauty of Don Det.
Note: the first time I met Peter at one Indian restaurant in Pakse, later I invited him to meet my another Dutch friend Sander (my CS host) at his "2B Travel Bar". After two days while I was in Don Det, I saw Peter again as he appeared at same mama cuisine restaurant. very interesting.

I wrote one email request to Taiwan English radio called ICRT for DJ Joseph Lin for below birthday calling http://www.icrt.com.tw
Dear Joseph,
Two weeks ago (April 15th) I have been calling out to your program for 35th Anniversary Giveaway Round 4, thanks so much for ICRT.
I would like to order one good song called “Roads” from Chris Mann, to celebrate my Dutch good friend Jacob Wagenaar’s upcoming birthday on May 1st.
Jacob come from Alkmaar (famous cheese city), Netherlands. so I gave him one nickname directly “ Cheese Man”, met him on my last journey in Laos and travelling together to Phnom Penh and Sihanouville in end Nov, 2013.
I would like to say these words for Jacob:
Hello Mr. Cheese man,
it is awesome experience to meet you on my travel in south east Asia. We have a great laugh and pleasant time while we were on the roads in Laos and Cambodia. Hope your next travel in Asia will choose this beautiful island of Formosa Taiwan to be one of your new destination because Taiwan will touch your heart and I owe you for Taiwan beer & betel nut. (lol).
There are roads in this life that we all travel There are scars and there are battles where we roam When we are lost or wherever we may go They will always lead you home
There are roads that have lead me to another To a friend or to a lover I have known For every turn is a year that I have grown As I walk along these roads
Some are long and some are weathered Some will lead you through a storm When you've gone astray you will find you way As you walk along these roads
There were times when I stumbled and I wondered But every choice and every step I don't regret Cause I have lived and I have loved like no other I won't fear what lies ahead
Some are long and some are weathered Some will lead you through a storm When you've gone astray you will find you way As you walk along these roads
There are roads in this life that I have traveled There are scars and there are battles, this I know Cause I'd be lost, but no matter where I go They will one day lead me home They will one day lead me home
Remarks.
Since September 2013 till now, all people in Taiwan were attracted by Rubber Duck (from Netherlands).
