In Laos

Last Sunday I took off for three weeks in Laos, two of work and one of pure vacation with my family who will join next Sunday. This first week I have spent way out in the countryside in the montaneous northern province of Phongsaly, and next week I will be in the just as remote northwestern province of Bokeo. A lot of hiking to small villages, fresh air and interesting food. When I'm back in Hanoi again early December I will post some more photos. The place is completely amazing.
