We went with some great people as well. Rowan, this great fucking Aussie. Nicole and Shirley, two Londoners who were both kicks in the pants. And quite a few more who were all exceptional human beings.
The activities were all just great. I actually got to drive (and was commented as the best driver) the lead elephant in a pack of 5.
I now know lots of new phrases (get involved), and lots of new drinking games (eyes on the prize). We have yet to actually really meet any Americans on this trip, and I must say, I like it that way.
I think I was possibly the most fucked up I've ever been in my entire life last night (in honor of Australia day). I drank a lot of this Thai village moonshine... had 4 beers... smoked a joint... and then went back with Mr. Kei for 2 pillow-talk sessions of opium smokage.
Well, shit. Gotta go book our shit to Laos. Here are some pictures...
Once again, I know blogger is going to crop these... right click -> view image. BONZA!
Edit: here are a few more pictures.... I'll just hotlink them.

I have a bacterial infection in my left eye at the moment. It's no fun. In Laos now.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TOUCHING? No, never mind, to quote NPR, "Wait wait, don't tell me!" Mr. Uncle Jemmie
PS Get better quick!
more pics... The US has just passed a new law, all US citizens may be subject to random drug test after traveling abroad. Failing means 10 to 20.
So, so jealous of you. Not the eye infection, but the rest of it. I guess I'll have to wait for more neck surgery to get my opium pump.

...as I was saying, In Branson we would just hang out in the old folks home and share killer old- person-meds. Chill, and watch Days of our lives, talk about FDR, and shit on rubber matts. So cool to stare at the fireproof curtains. Good times.
my infection seemed to clear up rather quick. I was just using my contact lense solution sparingly, and I paid for it out in the wilderness, I guess. Took a 2 day slow boat down the Mekong. Gorgeous.
Yeah, NOW. Mekong river/delta didn't used to be so groovy. Cooper says "hey" from the box. Mr. Jemmie P.S. Are the folks seeing this?
