Route with pics
Picasa Album
Today we realised that Laos isn't actually the poorest country of our six country visit. Cambodia is. Or so it appears to us. For example we see a lot more brick houses and electricity (accompanied by fridges and freezers) here than we did in Cambodia. Ardan has a new favorite drink: frozen deedo's (fruitjuice in a plastic cup put in the freezer).
On our ride today we were greeted again by a lot of smiling and 'sabaidee' yelling children and adults. We think that people will look strange at us when we're back in Belgium since we're so used to yelling hello and giving big smiles to totaly strangers. We will also miss the feeling of being 'special'. We drive by and we feel like the pope waving and smiling and saying hello to everyone and everyone to us. Maybe people should smile more en say hello more to strangers in Belgium to. If they can do it here, and in South-France (Bonjours everywhere :) ), why can't we do this in Belgium?? Something to think about, and something to change?
When we went for dinner (for our 3th noodlesoup of the day), we saw a guy defurring a rat at his noodlestand. Have we been eating rat in our noodlesoup thinking it was beef? Yeah well, tasted okay :) Maybe a mix of both? Or is the rat just a speciality reserved for the family?
