Iso Mane Tamer And Hair Loss

The first of 4000

"4000 Islands", it should be, in the broad Mekong in the border area with Cambodia. Include as about every shrub that looks at low water during the dry season the water? No matter - even if it should be only 1000 real islands, the scenery in the far south of Laos impressive and beautiful. In parts, slow, fast, and then tearing tumbling over steep cliffs, the huge water masses move south. In parts, the Rusty brown color, like the red soil, then green as the leaves of palm trees and trees that line the river.

Sauber will be the Mekong, the locals say, and even the guide recommends a refreshing bath:



We now have the first of three planned Islands ( to see anyone leave well enough 100 years not out) reached. Don Khong is the largest of all, maybe 6 miles. We rent two scooters and go around them. To the south is already set in the new rice fields in the north is all still yellow of the blades on the harvested fields.

The small rice seedlings are stuck painfully into the water
all must help young and old
Thousands are set by hand
be knocked Bundles of the rice grains
The stalks are to roof coverings woven
school children run by the harvested fields

are everywhere on the island's magnificent monastery - and temples. Of the little more monks can be seen, occasionally we encounter one.


If you go to a teacher is interested in this course, for the schools in the country. A little more about it there to see it in the next report.

Juli Ashton And Tiffany Granath Night Calls

the ferry to the historic temple

announced today a few impressions from the ferry across the Mekong, through to 2000 year old temple - or what's left of it.
Over a nearly white beach (on the Mekong bank, always remember!) TukTuk our bus drove to the ferry place. To observe the event properly, I jumped off in time. Safety first ... .
later
This way on board, 'an hour away ...
Offered noodle soup was spicy but good!
propelled seller of hand-woven spoons
emergency food ...
A fairly young Helmsman note the inscription of the steering wheel
The seven-headed serpent
The historic temple was more of a disappointment. However, this applies fully to all historical sites, if you're already been in Cambodia's Ankor Wat. The decorated Buddha was the sights.

This Buddha is slowly overgrown by tree roots:

Flu For 3 Weeks New Symptom Throat Lump

transport, bus station and more in

Dear fellow travelers, today I want to show you some pictures of the traffic and transport in Laos. Let's start with a bus station. This is run in Pakse and the "buses" from here to south. There is another, which serves the northern directions.
The main square is completely unpaved, the wind is blowing red dust clouds through grisly cross. The Lao people do not seem to bother-perhaps it is now unusual for them calm? For us, we look for wind and sun shade, from where we can observe the action.


goes on it yet or something?
Of course, always!
The waiting time is used effectively: pedicure ...
... or manicure.

always this annoying photographer!
A little better than this car ...
was TukTuk ... our bus for "4000 islands" in the border area with Cambodia after all. However, our trip was already after 200 Meters apparently ended, the driver got out, phoned and was gone for 35 minutes. Not without first cashed our fare. All 12 occupants were at a loss until at some point stopped and started another TukTuk a pretty young Laotian us. Well, at least a welcome sight, the driver was suddenly back, and our 2.5 hour drive (driving distance 45 km) could finally begin. Daily objective was Champasak, a place with a 2000 year old temple ruins on the other side of the Mekong. How about on the "ferry" across and then looked like the temple ruins, learn their morning.

one I have: tire recycling in Laos. are from old truck tires Garbage containers manufactured. You see them everywhere, not only on our bus station. That seems a profitable business to be.


And one more thing fits so nicely on the topic: While waiting on the Laotian all the time I had this shop for scooter tires and oil bottles in sight.
