This book, should be compulsory reading for new ExpatsThe writer Jacob (Joop) Heilijgers – a Dutch national – is a business man and writer of columns, articles and short stories. He has been living for 30 years in Singapore and Indonesia. Where he witnessed many strange things from close-by. Joop turned these into a book of 300 pages, with 16 independent true stories. Many are about amorous relations of fellow expats with much younger Asian women. The ideal wife in their eyes, but the big differences in age and culture often became a recipe for disappointment. Divorce, loss of money and even dead. Certainly, many mixed relations are going well. But hard to write a juicy story about, according to Joop.

From Anunnaki to Illuminati
0€ 39,95There is an alternative history of life on this planet. Jaap Rameijer, known for his revelations about Rennes-le-Château and Glastonbury, outlines the secrets of the Anunnaki and the Illuminati to the reader. He shows how our early history was a history of slavery, where gold had to be mined for the gods. It was an era of high technology, of old gods and new gods, of very old civilizations and their imposing structures, of the clay tablets, the Bible and other religious scriptures and of the many disasters that befell the earth. Humanity lives and lived among secret societies with their hidden agendas. Lucifer and the Satanists made their ascent, as did UFOs, Orbs, Crop Circles and the Spirit World. Courageous writers rang the bell and try to warn humanity, while alien civilizations watch us carefully.
