Hey! So these are some of the overdue videos from Vientiane and Luang Prabang, Laos! Vientiane: Initial view of Vientiane It seems almost deserted on this particular Sunday afternoon. True, the city picked up on Monday when businesses re-opened for their business. However, the city was still rather slow-moving, especially compared with all of the [...]

Overdue Videos: Laos
Friday, June 25th, 2010Overdue Videos from Laos: Big Brother Mouse
Thursday, June 24th, 2010More overdue videos!!! This is one of the videos that I took while volunteering at Big Brother Mouse. The internet is too incompetent to upload any more for now.

Mayhem: Thailand, Leftover Laos…and Myanmar (Burma)?
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010We’re here in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where we’re enjoying fast food, fast cars, fast bikes, fast people and fast internet. Before we launch ourselves into Thailand, we want to notify our readers that a collected decision has been made to head into Myanmar a week or two early…we’re going tomorrow to the border town [...]
Monsoon Diaries Guidebook: Laos in a nutshell
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010Laos Reviewed The so-called “forgotten country of Asia” doesn’t mind the moniker; it makes the most of it. Sleepy, charming Laos has more than enough to give for any average traveler without trying too hard. Let’s face it: Vientiane is a suburban town, but it exudes a slow, steady charm you won’t find at any [...]
Buddha Park
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Overdue video time! Here are some videos from Buddha Park in Vientiane, Laos. There is another video – that I will post later on when I have more time and a faster computer… but hopefully these two will amuse you for now!
Goodbye Laos, goodbye slow.
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010I see Laos as a necessary rest stop in between the mayhem of Cambodia and what we perceive to be mayhem in Thailand. See you there. I’ll put up a country review of Laos once I upload all the pictures necessary for it. That probably won’t be until we reach Bangkok.- At time of posting [...]
Lock and Lao-d
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010The internet is frightfully slow, so we may not be able to update at full capacity until we reach Thailand tomorrow. As for Luang Prabang…everyone needs to experience this city. It’s not where you blow through sites like other places…it’s just a wonderful place to be. Today Annah and I volunteered teaching and conversing in [...]
The Laodown on Laos
Monday, June 21st, 2010Luang Prabang is charming, no doubt. They call it the “most romantic city Southeast Asia” and after spending only a night here I can see why. It doesn’t even try too hard…it just is. More details when I find an internet connection that’s faster than my grandmother on acid. – At time of posting in [...]
Quick Update Minus Video :(
Monday, June 21st, 2010Sorry for the delay in videos! The internet is super slow. But – we went to Buddha Park today – the coolest thing to see in Vientiane and possibly one of the coolest things that I’ve seen so far. En route there- we took Bus #14 from the main bus station… I initially didn’t get [...]
Slow Internet
Sunday, June 20th, 2010By the way… the internet in Laos is super, super, slow and I am completely unable to upload new and overdue videos… Apologies for the day! Hopefully we’ll have some luck sometime soon!
