Day 99: Friday 12th of February 2016


Day 99
Friday 12th of February 2016

Started today by heading out to Champasak to collect the pan traps set yesterday, which was completed without incident.

After lunch I taught another English class, after which I headed to my own Lao classes, this is getting confusing. I was running late so I jumped a tuk-tuk and stated my price, this I found works better than asking. While at class I said someone was a television (tu la sap), I had meant to say businessman (nak tu la git).

For dinner I tried a japanese place I had forgotten about, got a bento box which was Melbourne quality. Restaurant was probably built for the japanese engineers working on the now completed bridge.

Headed home for a quiet evening while slowly becoming aware of the traffic becoming louder and louder. It was the 3rd fire truck that tipped me off and after heading for a walk through the abnormally busy streets. Turns out the local market was being gutted by fire. So I walked into the Pakse hotel (pretending to be a guest there) and rubber neck.

After the fire died down, and talking to someone I know, I headed home.

There goes my closest supermarket.

bye supermarket.
either lots of looting or stallholders salvaging.

A few people came to watch.
