Word on the street on internet in Laos

Word on the street was that internet was not so great in Laos....

Well....

Yes, the word on the street is correct. Skype does not really connect that well, and the internet comes and goes as it pleases with google wanting really badly to load itself for an hour. Sometimes its going, mostly it feels like its not. There are internet Cafes here, and we like them alot (usually, but not always they work).

In brief, this means, that updates might be slow coming. BUT they will come! ...promise! This whole blogging thing is somewhat therapeutic for me.

ps... a quick picture to brighten your day: This is the bike I bought in the first couple days of arriving here. Yes, it really does say "Uranns Pegasus" ... BUT, it could be worse; my teammate Russell's bike says "TURBO Fairy"
