………..So I was hanging out with Bee, Caroline and Tim (times 2) for the next couple of days in Tadlo, enjoying their company and also enjoying being the Tims guide in exploring the falls…..and it turned out they had an affinity with taking liberties too!!!!……and even though they were a bit dubious about following me in some of the places at first, we all went onto push back further the frontiers of Tadlo Falls exploration!!!! :-)……….but drew the line at conquering the ledge where the German almost became brown bread!!!! ๐
I’d told them of my plans to go to the Plain of Jars, and they were interested, but decided it was too far out the way……….
* It was on the north eastern side of Laos, where you would only normally go only if you were in transit to Vietnam………but the Americans know it well……..they were very generous in donating copius amounts of land mines to the area, so that the evil monsters in Vietnam couldnt get out and destroy the free world………and since those evil monsters turned out to be hard nuts……. well …. they decided to bomb it too…… would’ve been rude not to, especially as that meant there was less chance of Americans getting hurt ……. and to further reduce the risks of Americans getting hurt……. why not train the Laos people to do the bombing for you…….. now theres an idea………. maybe twist their arm a bit too……….. and with all the health care and education problems which existed in America………. what better way to spend the peoples taxes…….. then by spending $2 million a day, everyday, for over decade……. dropping bombs on Laos……… well you cant drop them all on Vietnam can you….. they’re hard bastards over there…….they’ll beat you up!!!! ๐ Well at least the free worlds safe…….ย WHEREVER IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *
…………but in order to get there I had to go via Vientienne (the Laos capital) where they were heading too, so it was cool to travel together. I wanted to go to the Plain of Jars because it felt like a bit of a spiritual place to me, although there wasnt much information about it. So I looked in Bee/Tims lonely planet and it said thatโฆ
โThe plain of jars might be a bit of a spiritual place!โ ๐
Well, not in those exact words, but words to that effect…… apparently no one knew what it really was…….. so I was heading to the Plain of Jars….. which might be a bit of a spiritual place!!! ๐
So we left Tadlo, it seemed a shame to say goodbye to the place, but it was time to move on……. and as for that Laos woman…….. well, it was a shame……. but I guess some things go unfulfilled. ;-(
Love and Light,
