Claire spends a relaxing week cruising around Vientiane on a sweet red scooter and playing nurse to me while I got my wisdom teeth out.
Noy and I go to Bangkok. First time for me and Noy (one of the women who works at Saoban) to visit Bangkok. It was also Noy's first time in a plane and the furthest she's been from Laos. It was a lot of fun, and completely exhausting, to explore the city together. I managed to fit in three harp concerts (including Catrin Finch!), tango, shopping and two movies. About Bangkok Noy said "it is SO fast... I love it!". For me, I'd happily never see a shopping mall again.
Success! The Happy Laos film fundraising campaign comes to an end. We collected more than our target $4000. Thanks to everyone who contributed, it was a great feeling to have so many people support me and the project.
Kickboxing, as I've just discovered, is the perfect therapeutic companion to yoga and meditation. I'm very happy to have found a gem of a teacher living in Vientiane and to discover the joy of being punched in the head.
Mum & Dad go local (loco!). If you are not on facebook then you won't have seen highlights from mum and dad's visit in June/July. They loved the cooking class and the food (is anyone surprised?)...
More photos from their visit here.
That's all for now. I'm so far behind on this blog that it is tempting to give up. The frequency and quality of the baby updates from the cousins puts me to shame. So above are some headlines from the past couple of months in an attempt to get back up to date and continue sharing my news from Laos.
