Laos

I have felt extremely useless here since I arrived, because Pear has taken care of absolutely everything. We had a cook out on Sunday, where they invited some of their friends over for lunch / dinner…

Sorry for not posting anything relevant for the past few days. I have been staying with Rob and Pear, his roommate, and their dog, Pebbles. Pear is Thai, and the manager of several restaurants right…

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…

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…

This is a long one, so click through to see the pictures and the rest of the post. It was time to leave Vangvieng , even though it was a fun place, it functions much like a black hole. You get there,…

Thought I would go ahead and give a report on how things are holding up again. It has been about three months, and some things have worn out a little, others I have lost etc… So far I have lost: 1…

I spent the first day here tubing the river again, and then the second one on a Motorbike, exploring caves, lagoons, and rural Laos life. I have been here before, so this time I went in some…

Back here for the second time, and I am staying in the same room I stayed in before, so it was kind of like a homecoming. I went back to Pizza Falconi, and they were really exited to see me, and gave…

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…

So click on the map to get an interactive map, that will then allow you to see where I am by way of a nifty pushpin looking thing that will only show up after you click on the map. Yes. ok. This is a…

The past few days have been a blur… I woke up early Friday morning and put my bag on for the short hike to the boat pier. I showed up at 9:30am for an 11:30am boat, and am so happy I did. The boat…

Oh the places you’ll go…again. I am successfully back in Laos. I took a mini bus from Pai to Chiang Khong, the Thai border town. We got in literally as the boarder was closing and didn’t have time to…

We (Thad and I) are back in Vientiane, and this time we are doing it right. We got a Tuk Tuk to take us around all day to the major sites, and took a bunch of photos. I have only put three of four of…

Last night was our last night together as a group. Dustin and Jared are leaving to head back into China, and Thad and I are going back down to Bangkok over the next week. We went to Pizza Falconi,…

Thad and I woke up this morning and left for our motorcycle trip. Dustin and Jared decided to sleep in and have a lazy day. We left and headed north on Hwy 13, one of the few paved roads in the…

The past two days have been amazing. We went tubing down the river yesterday, which was a lot of fun and then today we rented motorcycles (oh, and when I say motorcycle, I mean motobike. 110cc, no…

Today I have rented a motorcycle, cruised down dirt roads in the center of a city, crossed a river in a boat no wider than myself, rock climbed, hung out on the river, visited a hospital, and used a…

We finally left Ton Sai on Friday the 23rd and got a bus up to Bangkok. Again we took the easy way and took a tourist bus. I have a love hate relationship with the tourist busses. I do not like the…
