Since I leave Loas in two days I decided come up with this fun list. sorry for the long period between post. Northern Loas either has no internet or very slow internet, so i kept off it.

You know that you are in Loas when....

1. Few dollars is alot of money! "I do not know it's a whole dollar more, pretty expensive"
2. There are only 2 ATM's for the whole country.
3. All buses are handme down korean and have no working speedometer. "It's better to not know; trust me!"
4. The aisle of the bus or not for walking but sitting and storing supplies.

5. It not bus trip until a local starts thorwing up.

6. The Laundry, toilet, shower and drinking water all come from and are done in the Mekong river with in few meters of each other. "If you are luck."

7. Water in the sink just dumps on the floor; even in nice hotels. Pluming what is that for?

8. If your bus or boat only breaks down once you feel luck.

9. By the end day you have more small plastic bags than you know what to do with. Buy pop get bag, buy food get a bag. "Do want a bag for those bags there, sir?"

10. "No running water; check, No electricity until dark; check, manaully smashing rice the old school way; check. Using the Cellphone at same time; Check!!
