    Hello Todd, Neenee and Mina, great to have you on the road again, even if it is only a reccy mission. Thanks for sharing. You are right when you say that the rainy season is the best to travel in, because everything is so green and fresh looking, and the scenery stunningly beautiful. I love how the clouds cling to the mountains making them look mysteriously inviting. That market with the civet and an animal that I have yet to identify was amazing. As you rightly say, you can't get your meat fresher than that pig which will soon be pork joints etc. Incidentally, a new species was discovered in a Laotian village market not that long ago, where it was being sold for food. The Laotian Rock Rat. Hope that you manage to find the young person that so desperately needs help. Be careful on those roads. Praying for you all that God will protect you. God bless you and keep you safe.😀❤🙏

    Paul might be able to travel there himself one day, but it'd be hard. It looked like the pool Neenee went to recently at COSI Vientiane Nam Phu is up a whole flight of stairs. If a brand new hotel doesn't have wheelchair access to its facilities, it probably won't be replaced with something properly designed within Paul's lifetime.

      I've explained this before Bill, I make videos first and foremost for myself to watch back in years to come, with music or tunes I grew up with. It just so happened I was lucky enough to find an audience who enjoys watching our life and travels also. Making video FOR myself and with music I'M interested in has been the key to being able to do it so long.. going on 8 years now.
      I never grew up with Lao music, it doesn't instill any old memories, and it's very hard to match their music to a certain type of mood or feel the video may require.. especially if I don't know what they're singing about. It could be a popular wedding song being used for a funeral, which I nearly made the mistake of doing once.
      I'll stick to what I know and enjoy..
      Again. Thanks 👍
