During breakfast this morning I was propostioned with a job as an English teacher, either in Vientienne or Vang Vieng, by a girl called Van who worked in a resteraunt. This sparked my imagination: living here, in Laos, and teaching - dream come true. But reality struck: it would mean I would need to be here for six months minimum and I need this next years qualification. And so I gracefully declined (something for the futures, I think). Onto a spot of after...

s***, woke up twenty minutes before my bus was due to leave. Just crammed all my stuff into my bag - sod the shower etc. The road to Vang Vieng (yes, pretty much one road) was a long and winding one, passing around and over sharp green mountains and jungle. Villages lined the edges of the road and the people were always happy to wave and say "sabadeeeeeeeeeeee" as we passed. I managed to tan just one arm through leaning through the window the majority of the...

Baguette again for breakfast - that's my spinach, man. Smoking weed first thing this morning with Nacho, just watching the monsoon rage away from the comfort of my balcony.

When we arrive I couldn't help but stare at it: the turquoise blue water, the light cascading through the trees, and the naturally sculptured rock everywhere brushed with green. It was a jewel. And further down the falls you could swim in p...

Out of bed early - slight hangover. Ham baguette and we got on the boat again for another -what I thought was four, but turned out to be - six hours to Luang Prabang. I was f***ed on the boat, in need of sleep, so I just did a "Seamus" and cashed out in isle. I had a few winks on the sand, on the floor, but not much. Most people looked a damn mess, to be honest. A few joints were going round so they made the journey a bit more "comfortable". I was sta...
