Abbrivated thoughts due to slow internet

In Laos:
The kittens and grasshoppers are the same size- think 1 handful.
12 hours on a bus with 30 Vietnamese people puking is not as fun as it sounds.
The countryside is SO beautiful, and the people are so friendly.
I managed to rip my tennis shoe in half.
I managed to duct tape said shoe back into serviceable condition, regardless of the fashion statement "I am too poor to afford shoes in a 3rd world country".
Lao children are so cute, I want them to come in pocket size and take one home.
We discovered my ass would be black and blue if it were not completely black after my fall down some stairs in Hanoi.
The Plain of Jars is pretty cool, but after 3 different plains, I am done looking at ancient stone jars.
I ate dinner with King Kong, AKA Crazy Kong, the coolest person I have ever met who owns a hotel.
The internet is slow, the showers are cold, and I need to do laundry.
