Imagine if you were on the 18 hour bus ride from hell and you just arrived in a town at 7am after two hours of foggy sleep. Now you have to rush by tuk-tuk to a hotel to get money (there are no ATMs in all of Laos) before 8am because you have none. Why do you need money?
So you can pay for the 9 hour long boat ride you are about to embark upon down the Mekong. All because your husband wants to ride down the Mekong in a boat, so he can play pretend Vietnam. Oh, and if you are a woman, you are not allowed on top of the boat because you can never be higher than a man's head according to their religion. That picture top left is the bathroom, right off the side. Oh, the women spit. And it is our one year wedding anniversary...
Julie must really love me. But there really is a sunset at the end of the rainbow.
