Haven't broke my neck...yet -=]


Well after a few crazy days in Vang Viene the we decided to sell the bikes and move on to Vientiene via a kyak trip. Well it was mostly a ride in the back of a pickup truck, but there were a few hours of kyaking in there somewhere. A good cliff jump at lunch added some fun to the day. I'm in Vientiene right now, the capital city, but it's expensive (okay not that expensive, but relativley) I paid six dollars for a "mexican" feast last night, there seemed to be some creative flavours mixed in there, more indian (as in India) than Mexican, but delicous non the less. It's $15 dolars a night to stay in a big room with three beds (5$ each). Compared to the three-dollar a night sweet I had in Vang Viene, which by the way is one of my favorite spots ever. The plan is to hit the Islands in the Southern end of Laos before moving into Cambodia for a few days, and on to Vietnam. I hope Dwight is up for some South-Vietnam sunshine, cause it would be great to meet up when he gets in (around the first I think). I wont be making it to the Islands/beaches in Southern Thailand, and feel like I need another three months to finish what I've started over here, but know I will be back at a latter time and can hit the spots I missed. I register for class on the 27th of November and have a good schedual figured out already, it's a 13 credit load (a little light) but should be great, and leaves me tues/thurs off, to get up to the mountains. I'm trying to get PLSC 271: Intro to International Relations, INTL 201: Intro to Global Studies, and PHIL 364: History of Philosophy (Ancient). I will miss Thanksgiving, but when I'm swinging in my hammock at the side of the Mekong I'll have plently of time and reasons to be thankfull...Love you all,

Adam
