Greetings from Laos II

The temperature back in vientiane is freakingly hot, at 37•C. After visiting the Wat Si Saket, drey & I are now in the best cafe in town! :)




Refreshing drinks, yummy quiche and great air-con. While we just got back from luang prabang this afternoon, here's a glimpse of the Mekong river from luang prabang.


In luang prabang, it's a tradition or rather, part of the culture that monks walk the streets to receive alms from commoners at 6am. I feel it's more of a ceremony to respect and to appreciate the religion. Afterall, the wats (temples) depend on everyone else for food and funds to maintain the culture and religion.



I guess the most amazing thing about Laos is that wifi is almost everywhere and most of the times, it's free. Considering that it's a really backward country, I think an effort is made to make us really connected with the rest of the world!

Looking forward to home sweet home tmr! :)

Greetings.

I hope all is well and that you have been having success. This is an offered up invite to join THE MESSAGE ROOM region at TPI Network.

Use this the link to check it out...
http://tpinetwork.com/msgrmabg.htm

We will give you the opportunity to engage in the area at no initial cost and I think you may find it somewhat intriguing. This effort does come with a few caveats however in how you will need to provide an image of yourself in the company of a computer screen, as well additionally that you have a region from where to store and edit a handful of files which TPI Network would link to remotely.

If you like what you see email me and let's get started on getting you into the network.

Cordially,
Mark Fisher mfisher@tpinetwork.com
