vic in vang vieng, laos jan 20, 2009

having spent a wonderful few days in the capital, a couple of which were with an interesting guy from ghana, i am now back on the tourist trail. it was time to leave after he mentioned joining me at the altar. he had fallen for me because i am "quite" beautiful he said, but i think what really did it for him was my moustache, which he told me he liked a lot. damn, i knew i should've shaved it off after movember, maybe then he wouldn't have come on so strong. maybe i should keep the tache though if it's such a man magnet; i might be offered another pair of slacks. future suitors please note, i'd prefer the slacks to a trip down the aisle thank you very much. even a drink would do for starters, as long as you can pay for you own.

i am now in backbacker hell in a beautiful place called vang vieng. having arrived last night, i was amazed to look down the road this morning at dramatic mountain scenery. shame about the proliferation of backpacker bars screening friends and the simpsons. i am off to stay at an organic mulberry farm 3k from this tourist trap.
