Martyn was kicking ass in the Under-12's regional final.

So we finally moved on from Vietnam and Laos is almost the exact opposite; the people are chilled out and friendly, not in your face and trying to scam you! We crashed in Vientiane for a few days, enjoying the finer things in life, like foot-long sandwiches, outdoor swimming pools and bowling! Yes, bowling, the sport of fat people and Amish miscreants. We met up with  Martyn and Emily, a couple we'ld met in Vietnam so it was cool to go for a few beers and make some strikes!

We're all headed up to Vang Vieng, the tubing capital of the world, for much debauchery and floating down the Nam Song river. As always check that shit out on Flickr and drop some comments y'all. Word to yo mommas!

PS apologies to black people everywhere.
