The trip to Laos was unexpected. Mishelle was supposed to go there without me. Simply submit her papers in the morning and get her non-b visa in the afternoon. Ill just wait at Mukdahan, port going to Laos. Later at lunch she phoned me, asking me to come to Laos because she needed to stay over night as the consul didn't accept her papers and was told to come back in the morning.

So I came to Laos to accompany her. We found a guest house, at about 200B airconditioned room. It wasnt bad at all. It has got two beds and a bathroom. We then realized the situation that we dont have anything with us. No dress, no toothbrush, toothpaste, undies (nasty.. :P) just ourselves! So we went out and find shops and buy some necessary things needed. We bought the panties for about 7000 Kip (laos money). Wow! We were rich! 30B lang. hehehe.. And imagine us, wearing the same clothes for two days and a night. Twas a fun trip.. We saw things we never saw before. naks. They made tubo(sugar cane) juice. They had an extractor for the juice and you can buy it for 5B, and the one i liked was the taho juice. It was taho alright, but it was ice-cold. We rented a motorcycle for 200B 7 hours. So we were able to drive through town. We had our meals at the same restaurant. No 7-11 there. We stopped at a church to thank Him we were still safe. There was nothing much to see. Savannakhet Laos is a rural area.

Would I wanna go back there again? Yes, for shopping at duty free. Drinks, cigars and perfumes were cheap there. Plus my co-teacher said they have beautiful falls.
