Cold Coming

First off, things have gotten worse in Thailand. Bombs are bigger etc.
So we're looking into changing our flights.
I'm waiting to here back(hopefully tomorrow) from our travel agent back home as to what way we should do it.
In other words; we're on top of it.

And a another few things:
1. Vietnam wasn't as bad as the taste my last post about it may have left in your mouth. I was just so happy to be in Laos, that I may have been over-zealous in my description of Vietnam! :)
2. Luang Prabang has the 5th biggest population not the 2nd biggest. The biggest is still 200,000 though!
3. I've gone 23 days without a Mosquito bite! This is huge, considering it was about 5 a day before that!

Meanwhile, things are still ridiculously beautiful here. Although the weather is getting quite cold at night. We sat out the other night by the Mekong playing some music with a few Canadians, and the next morning we felt a bit under the weather. I think we'll have to ask for an auld duvet in the hostel tonight!

Here's a few pics since the last post:


- Lennie doing some tricks for us. Turns out he's a Pro Skateboarder. Lennie if you're reading this, now you're really famous. You're on the blog man! :)

The oldest Wat in town:

- 500 years old I believe.

Another night market shot:

This old dude is mad. He was dancing in the middle of the street yesterday with his shovel. The day before, he was blowing onto handfuls of dirt and then trying to shove them into the hands of locals passing by:

Heading up to the Royal Palace Museum:

And back out after:

- twas really interesting in there, but they don't allow the auld camera.

Monks beating a drum to signal the changing time of day:

Crossing the dodgy bridge over the Nam Kahn:

Riverside homes:

The parched earth on the banks of the Mekong:

OK I'm out of here.

Bye!
