Down the Mekong
After three days running around north Thailand filming for the documentary (extended entry on that forthcoming) and then taking a two day slow boat trip down the Mekong (photos forthcoming as well), I'm ready to kind of park it in one place for a while. Fortunately, I'm in a great place to spend some relatively extended time: Luang Prabang, Laos. It feels very French-colonial, as someone said, "Like you're in an Agatha Christie mystery."
I did get some pretty bad food poisoning one of the boat ride nights, fortunately it didn't hit till we were docked and I was in a guesthouse; I'm feeling much better today. However, after staring at a ceiling fan for hours and taking a boat down the Mekong, I really want to re-watch Apocalypse Now.
