Yesterday we all hired a tuk tuk and went to the killing fields. I really expected it to be a lot... more? I thought it would be a much bigger area I guess. They have a monument built with all the skulls of the victims they have unearthed, but they've ... Read more >

The bus ride from Luang Prabang was winding and twisty throught the mountains, and took about 7 hours. We'd all try to sleep and then go careening around a corner and all of us go sliding out of our seats or smack our heads against the windows. Besides ... Read more >
