The blog that i was supposed to start 6 months ago to document how to get ready to move abroad. And the blog i was supposed to start in the month before we left. And the blog that i was supposed to start on arriving.
Those milestones all came and went but here we are now, 4 weeks after arriving in Vientiane writing my very first post.
What to say? So much really. But not all of it can be documented here on day one. So i will start by saying that Vientiane has been good to us so far. We are happy. I'll share with you what our "senses" are experiencing…
Sight:
Tuk tuk drivers sitting on corners waiting for a customer, Sparrows in cages for buddhist offerings, Street sellers selling mango with chilli dip, Monks
Smell:
A little bit of rubbish, a little bit of exhaust, a little bit of BBQ chicken on the roadside stalls
Hear:
Chanting monks, construction and banging steel, yelping dogs, scooters, laos music
Taste:
Laab, sticky rice, beer lao, croissants, and baguettes
Touch:
Dusty feet on the uneven footpath, craving the feel of the fan or aircon to cool us down, Bea's sweaty forehead or neck as we carry her down the street
Outside our new apartment
Bea loving her new "couch"
Fruit shakes, sunnies and a vegemite sandwich!
Temple hopping
