My Dog Is Having Bloody Diaherria

From the chilling fact, Lo and the capital Vientiane

Sabai-DIII !!!:)

the whiskey bottle is empty! and although we did successfully in the lo done. this relaxed village in southern Laos, we visited four days. From Pakse we went with a stark old bus there. first we were happy about the bus because he was not open, transporteraehnlicher bus, but a more or less normal. steinalt only just. when we took the indoor space was then bissl what else - (! but crooked and narrow) there was nothing original, all verfriemelt seating, re-screwed in., floor plate thousand repaired - all very functional ... yes, and a terrorist as a bus driver! .. Okay, it was not a terrorist, just an ordinary Laotians, the protected himself with his armeeskimuetze sun before.
Along the way we talked to a woman Laotian origin, but now lives in the United States. it operates in a village near the city Salavan entwicklungsilfe with her husband. it was really relaxed and full of thought constantly on the bus to go shopping on the street. poor farmers so that they supported the site before. yes, we really need patience .. The drive took time eeeewig again. as Europeans we are not just used to it that the bus can not go 10km without stopping. This rest is very typical of Laos! Only-no hassle!

did lo arrived in this motto was in its full bloom. -It was all sooo peaceful, so chillig. the people live simply in their house pets wood or bambushuettchen free-running with. The direction finding as relaxed by the district. chickens, ducks, goats, cows, oxen, pigs, dogs, cats .. yes, and even elephant!
we lived in a nice little bambushuettchen directly on the river with a view of the waterfall and sunset. on our terrace in the wonderful ambience of the whiskey was emptied as if by themselves;.)
in tat lo and environment we are running around a lot and even sometimes just hitchhiked, when we ran a seemingly endless long village road. we looked at three waterfalls.



one of them was so remote that we been led by village children. of course, left the smaller pay you for this service:) but it has really paid off because we could not even swim in front of the waterfall and wash our hair ..



we enjoyed the landscape features in full. once we were here but elephant of a surprise that suddenly the run up the river and are conversant scared! with such a large pachyderm is expected does not happen every day .. but ok, we're just in Laos:)
came to our first hiking day we right at noon through the village and were hungry. we bought a couple nice fish and rice sticky. the man invited us into his hut and ate with us. because he could not speak English and we no lao came about no conversation. But it was totally funny and nice ne situation - like the man we all reinbat Needless to himself, eat his chili-pepper bite and when smacked properly (like all Southeast Asian). his wife has given to us then and we still beans for 2 cd-s bought from them.
although lo really did a tiny nest at the end of the world is to invest German there too! - Because there is a computer-education center (TCEC - Tatlo computer education center). It's funny, because although the globalization of tourism in tat lo has arrived, the village goes live totally original. runs alongside the tourism and appears to promote the site, to supervise rather than.
as there is for such pap mom who rented bungalows in addition to their agricultural work and a little mini-restaurant operates. everything is very tentative, but absolutely honest. pap has a huge menu cards, but mostly, almost nothing in your kitchen. it does this often, that when ordering "no ... no have have" says (eg, no eggs, no baguette, no chicken, no pasta, no pineapple). In return you will be rewarded with huge portions, their competitor to some take over! even the coffee is served in a mega-pott. the other hand, prices are super cheap. with these conditions and their open-minded art freubndlichen it is clear leader in tat lo! We were regular customers:)



we learned in tat lo also love to know travelers. leaving the Southeast Asia including a German wheel with a slash Austria and 3 Afghans who have grown up in Pakistan and now living in Germany. there were very interesting discussions at the evenings and an advance guitar was there too:) .. so the time flew by very quickly in tat lo.

to Southern Laos, we gave ourselves a monster bus ride back. we decided spontaneously in the local-bus to pakse (which is only 2 hours of doing away lo) has continued to travel to the capital Vientiane. there were times in the hours just 2h 19h .. but still: the bus was comfortable, slow and more secure than the 2-storey sleeping touribusse. nevertheless visited the proposed trip of course enormously .. sleep and the right one comes in sitting here and a more or less. we aiming completely finished on Saturday 5 am in the morning looking around in Vientiane on for a cheap hostel. from 7 am we found one and related it to a mega-postcards-write-action to 10am.
Vientiane is a very nice city, but not at all typical Asian. the communists and colonialists have the proper city shaped. There are streets just wide, cute little house in the Mediterranean style, and many cafes. yes, and it hardly what's going on! where one in Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi and Phnom Penh, the motorcyclist and the noise of the city get on your nerves, here is more or less calm. asia only the Mekong, the temple and the people to remember.



yeah thailand and we have already discovered! - Namely that lies at the other side of the river:)
we are in quite good vientiane strolled through the city. We were shopping at the market, and eat bissl. We noticed here that laos (on land and in the city) is very clean in comparison with Cambodia. .. Here is the non-air pollution on the ground but in the. namely the burn all garbage .. whether this is better can be very doubtful.

ahoy, martin
and Chrissi:)
