Arrival in Laos

That Luang.JPG

Today marks the third country for me to be traveling in. I arrived in Vientienne Laos yesterday after a two day journey by motorcycle, bus, and finally train to get here from the western part of Thailand. I’m feeling a bit sick, I think I have some sort of cold and I’ve been running myself ragged the past few weeks with travel, sightseeing, and a little partying.

It’s been a few months since I’ve updated my blog, I guess I’ve just been lazy. I’ve been traveling this time around for about 4 1/2 months. I arrived back in Bangkok on July 20 to meet up with Uwe. After that we toured around and hit up the hot spots of the south. Places like Phuket, Krabi, Hat Railey, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Chang, and finally ending up in Koh Tao where Uwe is building a house as of the time I’m writing this. We had a good journey together. We each purchased Thai made motorbikes in Ranong, Thailand. They are Tiger 125cc four stroke motorbikes. Similar to a scooter back home but a little bigger and they have a four speed manual transmission. All and all a good bike, but not the most comfortable to travel distance on. I have about 6,000 kilometers on mine now.

I’ve met alot of interesting people along the way and have been in some places that before I’ve only dreamt about. My plan now is to travel through Laos then on into Vietnam and lastly Cambodia. We’ll see how it goes, one thing I’ve learned about travel is that things rarely go as planned.

Well, thats it for now. I’ll do better at keeping this updated for those of you who are interested. Tonight I’m off to go check out a Laos discoteque with some Swedish friends I met last night. 🙂 Should be a blast!!

    Sounds excellent. These other countries have given military coups a bad name. Looks like you were just fine with the troops and tanks 🙂 Have fun and stay safe.

  7. Lassen wir , Schwarzers Schwesterin im Geiste, sprechen:"In vielen Fällen .. werde keine Anklage erhoben. Das heißt aber nicht, dass nichts passiert ist. Es gibt fast nie Beweise und die ErmittlerInnen werden mit widersprüchlichen Aussagen konfrontiert. Der Grund dafür: Das Opfer müsse beweisen, dass etwas passiert sei, obwohl es doch eigentlich umgekehrt sein müsste: Der Täter müsse beweisen, dass nichts passiert sei."

  8. If I communicated I could thank you enough for this, I’d be lying.

  9. I was so jealous of your jumble finds I think I drooled on my keyboard and shorted it out. We don't have cool vintage jumble sales in the Deep South of the ol' U.S.A.Congrats on hubby's job!

  10. 😀 Eh, nu ia chiar atat de mult timp. Lasi melodia doar nitel, cat sa te dumiresti de semnificatii, si apoi poti da la ultimele 3 secunde. Eu si logica mea. Whatever. :))) Anyway, take your time. Si, oricum, tagurile nu-s obligatorii 😉

  11. Wow, marvelous blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you make blogging look easy. The overall look of your site is wonderful, as well as the content!. Thanks For Your article about Vittalisa .

  14. Carryl Bliebaum was the first to register on our site. She should receive some kind of an award. Not sure what yet. Hi Carryl. Kay Kolbo was a close second. Bob

  15. Wow! I just went to check your other blog out, since I haven’t seen anything from you guys lately. Seems like you’ve been very busy! The new site looks great!

  16. A little Steve induced serendipity via teh interwebsAnthony Quinn –> "Quinn the Eskimo" , Manfred Mann on –> [side bar of similar videos]–> Google search for Mungo Jerry and then 'Ray Dorsett' + Mulato –> at mulatto.org . I'm sure you'll all enjoy that last one.

  17. C'est chez toi? La classe!Instagram, j'y suis venue, moi qui me m'amusais de toutes ces photos de pieds et de déjeuners. En usage privé, par contre, car c'est ce que j'utilise pour rester en contact avec mes proches restés en Europe. Quant a Facebook, je n'ai jamais utilisé. J'ai parfois le sentiment d'être née au siècle dernier… oh, wait…

  18. Dag nabbit good stuff you whippersnappers!

  19. Wow Mary, I never had peanut soup…well, I had as a dessert, but not with savory. Looks and sounds very flavorful with carrots and onion. Would love to try this out.Hope you are having a great week 🙂

  20. Michael,Thanks for your comments. We have used a memory foam mattress toppers before as well. They are a great addition to an inflatable bed. Our guests prefer it to sleeping on a ‘raft’ so to speak. It is good to know there are companies out there that cater to people with chemical sensitivities like Natural Form and Foam Order. We still do love our wool topped self-adjusting air mattress. If you can afford it, this sleep system is fantastic.

  24. It does gladden the heart to know that millions of children are being bought up to read a diet of trashy witch-lite.It’s bizarre also how the awful potter things are read by adults as well, preumably the ones who also read the Sun.Rowlings success is deeply suspicious, given that her novels are criticised as being essentially rip offs of other authors.THe Madelaine case was very odd. The sudden arrival of an intelligence spook to handle the media was deeply suspicious. The eltie probaby cut her heart out in a sacrifice somehwhere.

  25. I really couldn’t ask for more from this article.

  26. I myself just baught a super pershing. Its as slow as a heavy but shots kept bouncing off of me. Turns well. Though it lacks on the battlefield it is a good sniping tank when you angle the armour. Nothing special about it. Compared to the pershing the superpershing has more shells boune or absorb hits than the pershing. All and all its okay. I give it a 4/5 as well. -e567

  27. Well, you’ll not get this contemplative “turning cartwheels ‘cross the (lobby) floor,” any time soon; not with my back! Doesn’t it look great, though. I’m looking forward to seeing it all completed, manifestations and all.

  28. That insight’s perfect for what I need. Thanks!

  29. Margarida, À pergunta quais os protagonistas que devem sair de palco para viabilizar uma solução de estabilidade capaz de gerar o governo que faça o que tem de ser feito, sei responder. Definitivamente entre as actuais direcções do PS e do PSD não será possível estabelecer quaisquer pontes. E tenho as maiores dúvidas que com Sócrates à frente do PS dificilmente outra liderança do PSD se possa entender.Quando? Não sei. Como? Também não.

  30. If time is money you’ve made me a wealthier woman.

  31. There is a simulator for the iCub (two in fact). If you grab the iCub source code, there’s an ODE based simulator in , and a webots simulator in . I work with the ODE one and it is coming along nicely. You can control either of the simulators (or the actual robot) using or just a plain-text socket protocol.The ODE simulator is easy to compile on Linux. On windows it is a bit awkward, but we release a compiled version of it (see the windows binaries link on the YARP home page).There’s a call out for people who want to come work on the actual robot in July 🙂

  32. Hi PaulaI was so hoping I would see you enter this at TSC :)Incredible use of her. I've enthused already but I forgot to mention the gorgeous handmade flowers, stunning.Thank you for once again supporting TSC. Good Luck with the Prize Draw.WishesLynne

  33. You know what, I’m very much inclined to agree.

  34. When he was a child, his father took him to the seaside and told him he would have liked him to be a sailor when he grew up. Back then Sting didn’t understand what it meant, but now he knows that his father wanted him to have fun. – Sting told us that story on the concert few weeks ago.

  35. Dr. Osmar, Bom dia.

  39. Tutor, do you give lessons? A class on Comprehending The Basics of Men (And Humans In General) would be a great thing. If, y’know, those who actually needed it could be persuaded to attend.
