Ok Pan Saa and dragon boats

 

Fifty shades of birthday

I turned 50 in Vientiane. Most of my friends and family have seen these photos but that won't stop me posting them here anyway...

 

Keeping yourself nice

Staying pretty and smelling sweet in a hot and dusty Asian town can be difficult.

 

It's not just the lines of grime circling my neck or the sticky-rice goo stuck under my nails. The heat induces unsightly sweat marks and a red face and a strong sense of "who gives a sh*t what I look like?". (Or maybe that's just me?)

My brother's visit

A few photos from Brian's visit to Laos and our travels around Vientiane and Vang Vieng

(pretty much the same as the ones on Facebook)
