Well, the lat few days I've spent on the back of a motorbike, just a random cruise. Picked a few spots on the map and tried to get there. Laos seems allot drier than i expected, long straight gravel roads and an amazing amount of eucalyptus trees make it fel quite homely.I met some really nice and interesting people, the only people down there who can speak English are those who have come to Vientiane to study, so not many. They were very friendly and very eager to get a bit of English practice in. It was especially cool because of the Mekong River Boat Racing festival that’s happening in a few days. Each place I went to had a little sideshow alley games and there were loads of people out. There are a few photos of the trip here. During the trip i managed to go a full 24 hours with out seeing another white face and in Thahkuk where i stayed there were 2 tourists and 5 Europeans in the whole city. As you would expect, there wasn’t a internet café in sight, so the competition winners who have been waiting since Wednesday can now have their moment of glory.

Gravy bum, vomit then dead.

There once was a man called Will
Who wasn't the run of the mill..
An elephant he rode
His plumber's crack showed
My word did he feel like a dill!
To every one else, thanks or entering, to people who didn’t enter, you’re a bunch of slack bastards. I‘ll get in contact with the winners and work out how to get the prize pack. You also have to choose a lucky rock, so I’ll take some better photos of those in Hanoi.
Oh yeah, this evening we take a 23 hour bus ride to Hanoi, Arriving some time tomorrow evening. If some cunt spews on me I’ll fucking stab him. But I’m hoping for a nice relaxing trip the normal dose of chilled tunes, a few beers and some sleeping tablets should make it fairly pain free……
cheers
