mekong adventures


so i had imagined a romantic journey travelling peacefully down the mekong river from the thai border to luang prabang watching village life pass by and admiring sunset views... well there was some of that but mostly i ended up on a party boat full to the brim with white tourists who spent two days on a slowboat drinking beer, smoking pot and cigarettes, playing cards and taking photos of themselves.. it was very entertaining and i was tempted to take more photos of my companions than the view but i resisted and you can see some of the results for yourself, see my photos link. it was very beautiful and very peaceful at the same time, with added bonus amusement factors. i am loving my time in southeast asia, surprisingly glad not to be coming home yet, hope no-one takes offence at that. but it is just great to be out having these adventures and seeing so much. i will keep in touch.
