Last Asian news (at least for now)

Back in Bangkok after another Laos trip.

The group I had this time was really great, even better than last time. Everything went smooth and I am starting to know Laos better now. I even know a little bit more Lao know, especially ways for saying 'cheers' etc.

When we arrived in Bangkok we stayed at a very fancy place with beautifull rooms, hot showers WITH pressure and a swimming pool. Ironical though that after traveling for almost 3 months and mostly staying at very simple places, I got attacked by bed bugs in the most fancy and expensive place. Result is that now I am covered with red bumps that itch TERRYBLY!!!!

Maybe tonight or otherwise tomorrow I'll be flying home. Depends if I can still change my ticket, I'll know in a few hours. This is the 4th time Bangkok in 2 months and I've seen enough of it. If I'd be traveling on it would be great to stay here another day but going home that's a difference.

Arriving in Bangkok airport (from the North of Thailand) was very strange. In the arrival terminal there were dozens of embassies that had put up tables for people to register since there are still many people missing. Also on Khao San Road there are over a hundred photo's of missing tourists. Just think about how many local people are still missing and probably death.

So, my trip has been good again, met a lot of great people and went to very nice places. As soon as I have the time when I'm home I'll try to put my pictures on a website.

I'll probably write again from my next trip, whenever that may be.

CU soon!
