| The true story |
| 11.23.04 (3:08 am) [edit] |
Spent 10 hours in the plane, Pinelopi slept for 9.5 hours. I didn't, somebody had to be able to fly the damn thing in case the pilot died.
Arrived in Bangkok and spent the night watching the very interesting Thai TV. These people have a knack for midgets, in every show there are a couple of dwarfs doing funny (I presume) stuff. And deformed people in general: I was watching something with a girl who set off to meet a boyfriend and on the way she met a guy who basically was only a torso and an arm (really, no special effects). He helped her find the boyfriend and when he begged for her love (or money, I'm not sure about the details) she knocked him over, the torso-guy took a few rolls on the ground and then he stood on his undeveloped legs (basically toes coming out of his torso) and wept. Weird stuff!
My dear friends and seasoned travellers told me to try the food from the vendors. Bought two of something which I thought it was chicken and tasted something between liver and fish. Plus I think I saw salmonela jump up and say "Hallo". Lovely!
15 hours on a bus to Chiang Kong watching Thai TV again, stand-up comedy, a couple of midgets there as well. Have to admit the roads are impecable and the drivers take turns, one sleeping in the back, the other driving. In 15 hours in Ireland you barely reach Cork.
Countless hours on boat to Pakbeng.
Arrived to the worst shithole on earth, this place is unreal. From all the ugly and disgusting "guesthouses" we chose the one that are no words to describe. The room was already occupied by a spider around half a kilo. Pinelopi slept for 8 straight hours. It was too hot for me. And then I was freezing. I used the duvet that was so heavy that I woke up in the middle of the night with my big toe completely numb. I freaked out cause I seriously thought that something had bitten off my toe and ran away with it. Anyway, not tooooo bad.
Luang Prabang is OK. Only the lovely guesthouse is miles from anything and full of black mosquitos. The food is very good though, although after two days we discovered that we were paying triple the price we could have.
2 months and 25 days to go.

Hello hello, your blog entry made my day - apart from the fact that it is Friday afternoon and sunny outside:-) True, I forgot to mention that our lovely hotel was full of mosquitos but the others were too and yet not as nice. Welcome to Asia! Also in that hotel we were woken up by drumming monks at 4 in the morning - did I mention that:-)?It is a long way to Phonsavan with milions of bends and evil rebels in the surrounding mountains - can't wait for Vassilis' entry! Take care and enjoy!
