Robert is the guy I met in Bangkok a month ago, and we hit it off. He lives in Vientiane, and we met up last night. He has an extra room in his house, so I moved my stuff over there and will stay for about two nights. The total rent for his house, which… Read the rest »

Visas and the German
After going to the Cambodian Embassy twice yesterday, I decided to give up and let my guesthouse take care of my visa for me. So I woke up at 8:00am and gave them my passport, some money, and filled out a few forms. I should be able to pick it up today at 4:30pm. I… Read the rest »

This could be long
So I don’t know when the last real update was… but, some things have happened since then. I have really started to like Laung Prabang. I have met some amazing people. I am ready to leave Laung Prabang. First day I spend being lazy (what is new, right?) and I justified it by saying I… Read the rest »
