Meeting Reader from Thailand

.

.

I was in Melaka rushing all the way back as I have to meet up with my reader Mr. T from Southern Thailand. It was already 10.00 pm. The weather wasn’t good as it has been raining since that afternoon. I was tired and dirty after reviving 2 farms there and have to drive back for an appointment with Mr. T. I don’t want to be late for this appointment as he had came all the way from Thailand and he is also a regular user of Love Potion. I wouldn’t want to disappoint him as he has been looking forwards to this meeting with me.

.

.

It was so rush I didn’t have the time to go home to bath before picking him up at Holiday Villa Subang. Luckily it was near where I live.

.

.

I picked him at the hotel and told him out for coffee. He told me that he was very happy to see me and indeed he had longed for this meeting.

.

.

While I was driving I told him Mr.T you may ask as many questions as you wish, thousand questions no problem. I shall answer them all. Hope I can not answer some of them because so far there are yet a question that I can answer we both laughed….

.

.

We practically talked about A-Z of Swiftlet farming, the history of Malaysia’s swiftlet farming, the market size and the market value, how it started, how to design a good farm, managing, etc.

.

.

Mr. T has a 3 storey stand alone farm. This farm of 1 yr old has 150 nests now and he thinks it is quite slow. I replied some farmers hardly have 10 in 1 year.

.

.

He was curious to know why all nests were built at the 1st floor.

..

/

He asked why all nests were not built on the top floor and ground floor. It was a good question I replied. Obviously most would have though they already knew the answer the 1st is cooler and darker and has the best condition.

/

/

But that is not the answer it is beyond that I explained. Why birds built all nests on the 1st floor? Wouldn’t it be good if all nests were in top floor first and then to build nests on 1st and ground floor would have been automatic since it has the best condition.

/

/

I told him why didn’t initially when you construct the farm you make sure the condition of the top floor is as good as the 1st floor then your farm would have nests in all floors.

/

/

If all nests started at top floor that means the brightest and the hottest place are of no problem to the birds then the 1st and the bottom would attract birds to build nests there easily.

/

/

Bear in mind not all floors are of the same condition. Normally the top floor is harder to control. If you could control the top floor then what is 1st and bottom floors.

/

/

He replied, I had never though of it.

/

/

I replied, well you are not the only one. People tend to think inside and within a scope only few would think beyond and outside the scope.

/

/

James, I understand now replied Mr. T.

/

/

I told him probably I would be in Southern Thailand next week to visit some farms there and hope we could meet again.

/

/

A few hours discussing is like few minutes when it comes to Swiftlets Talk. Time passes fast. After we finished our coffees and I send Mr.T back to the Hotel. I told him if you have anything to ask you can always call or email me.

.

.

Looking forwards to see him again.

.

.

Good Farming All.

我是從Melaka赶回来的,我必須見我的從南泰國的讀者T先生。 已經是晚上10.00 天氣不是好的,雨是從那天下午开始下的。 我在復興2個燕屋農場以後是疲乏和骯髒的, 但是必須見T.先生。 我不想迟到,他是一個來自泰國也是Love Potion的一名长期用戶。 因為他盼望與我見面我不想辜負他。

因為沒有时间, 因此我来不及回家冲凉, 就去他住的假日別墅Subang 幸运是近我家的地方。

我们去了喝咖啡。 他告訴了我他是非常愉快見到我,並且他的確渴望這次會議。

我告訴他, T先生您可以尽量问許多個問題,一千個問題也可以。 我將答复他們全部。 希望我不可以回答一些,因為到目前為止,我可以回答全部問題, 我們倆都笑了….

我們實際談論了全部关于燕屋,馬來西亞的燕屋歷史,燕屋市场和市场价值,它怎麼開始,如何設計好燕屋農場,處理等等。

T先生有一個3層樓的單立燕屋農場。這個燕屋農場現在1 年有150個窝,並且他認為它是相當慢的。 我回復了有些燕屋幾乎在1年没有10個窝。

他是好奇的要知道為什麼所有的窝被修造了在第1楼。

他问為什麼所有的窝都被修造在顶楼而不是在顶楼和底层。我回復它是一個很好的問題。 明显地多數人覺得他們已經知道答案,因爲顶楼是更加涼快和更加黑暗的並且有最佳的情况。

但是我解釋在那之外。 為什麼燕子不修造所有的窝在第1楼? 不是根好嗎,如果所有窝首先在顶楼然后修造在第1的窝和底层將是自動的,因為它有最佳的情况。

我問他為什麼最初當您修建燕屋農場时您沒有确定顶楼和底层的情况是一樣的,要不然將有窝在所有层。

如果所有窝在頂楼開始了意味最明亮和最熱的地板的一层是對燕子沒有問題,並且底层將容易吸引燕子在那裡修造窝。

記住不是每一层是同一個情况。 通常顶楼是更难控制。 如果您能控制顶楼那么第1层和底层根本不是什麼問題。

他回復了,我從未想到如此。

我回復了,不只是您一個。 人们倾向在圈子裡面,並且少數會認為在範圍之外。

James,我現在明白了回復的T先生。

我告訴了他大概下星期我會在南泰國參觀燕屋農場希望我們可以再見面。

當談到燕屋農場幾個小時好像是幾分鐘的談話。 时间快速地消磨。 在我們喝完了我們的咖啡,並且我送T先生回到旅館。 我告訴他,如果您有任何东西要問您可以打電話給我或發電子郵件。

盼望再見到他。大家有好燕屋。
