Vientiane

Whoa, so much has happened! If nobody objects, I'll fast forward a bit.

After Tana Toraja I headed to Pantai Bira, stayed four days in an amazing and socially fascinating and complex guesthouse called Sunshine (100 000 IDR, on top of a hill with nice breeze&view), continued to Makassar, Kuala Lumpur and then finally landed in Laos.

I wasn't supposed to come here - my next destination was supposed to be Hanoi Vietnam. However I received a hint about a job opportunity in Vientiane, and thus headed here. I met the requirements of the position offered and found the possibility of working here so intriguing that I had no chance than to cancel my future expeditions and stay put for awhile.

I'm to work with a team involved in development cooperation of Laos. I'm the computer guy, IT-support and -instructor. The contract is for one to two years, after wich I'm possibly ready for more adventures.

This blog has been my diary for the past two months, and might as well continue to be one as communication opportunities from here to home are existent but scarce.

That's it. I'll write down more when I'm actually ready to understand that I'm here and not moving anywhere.

Best wishes!
