We left Veng Viene yesterday headed south for Vientiene, near the border Thailand. We thought we would like it here, quiet, nice, middle Laos.... But it seems like a smaller, slower Bangkok... There is a neat Buddha Park just outside the city.. It only took us an hour to walk though... Now what? Both of us have been having slight intestinal problems, me (Christina) now for at least 3 days. Cramping and generally uncomfortable. There is very little to see around these parts, and no trekking, or tubing or elephants, or tigers... And we are here for 3 days! James is playing a computer game as we speak (or type, so to say). We tried to move our flight up for tomorrow or even the next day, but they are full... Fortunately, French food is popular here, and we've never really eaten it. So tonight we plan a nice French meal (yes, in southeast Asia) that's suppose to be really good. I'll let you know tomorrow. There is also a bowling alley here, but no cinema... So, Steve, we will be getting our practice for league...hehehe. We opted for a budget guest house this time. $11/night, but we have 2 twin beds and have to walk down the hall 3 doors down for the toilet/shower (yes, in the same room, no curtain... the the toilet often gets wet and we have to replace the TP alot). I guess we will catch up on our reading until Cambodia. Miss you all.
