Bus_Roof.jpg - On the bus ride through the jungle between Vieng Puka and Huay Xai, I saw one of the lao guys climb out of the window of the dusty bus and onto the roof. So I followed (watching carefully to see no tree limbs would knock me off of the bus). Had a great time just chillin on the luggage. 38 KB

Don_Papaya.jpg - This is a girl I met in Huay Xai. She and her sister ran a papaya salad (Som Tam) stand and beauty salon. Had a funny experience here where I got to see some Thai people (fresh over the border into Laos) learn the difference between Som Tam THAI and Som Tam LAO -- GREY ROTTEN FISH! I too had to learn the hard way, but its nice to know that I was not the only one who was not fond of the secret ingredient. 26 KB
