Feb. 14, 2006 - From your South East Asia homieee!!

Waddup Peeeps!

If there are lots of spelling mistakes in this baby its not because im intoxicated but because this keyboard is a little stiff- could be jizz. I am at an internet cafe in Vang Vieng, Laos. Its a really small town set alongside a river. Tomorrow we're going to catch a tuk-tuk up the river, hire some giant rubber tubes/wheels, then float our way back to town, stopping at the numerous bars along the way to get all sorts of messed up YEEEEHAAAWWW.

When we were at Sydney airport in the immigration line, there was a small, older lady nearby. Suddenly she coughed and it sounded partly like a rat-dog coughing and some biting into a really crunchy apple. It is quite possibly one of the strangest and funniest sounds I have ever heard. As a result, Amy and I have been impersonating this noise coupled with a rat face whenever we're in the mood for giggling (always).

For the past 12months or so, Amy and I have also been preoccupied with impersonating gurners. Its really one of our favourite things to do. We do it so well that we look absolutely fucking vile and so never really show other people. During exams last semester we tried to study together but it only resulted in us impersonating a gurner having an orgasm and other derivations.

Travelling up Vietnam has resulted in many lengthy bus rides. We have a susceptability to cabin fever which only makes matters worse.

[Cabin fever:  When one becomes hyperactive and stupid as a result of being in a confined space.]

My brand new camera also has a video function. So we have taken to making videos of our gurns. Like this wasn't ugly enough, we then decided to throw the rat-dog-apple-crunch cough into it. When we watch it, we are in absolute hysterics.

Yesterday we made friends with some good-natured poms in Ventiane (the capital of Laos). We ended up going site seeing together. We visted several temples and made friends with some Buddhist novice munks. They were so lovely. We had a photo together and swapped email addresses! It was so fascinating talking to them about their in the monastery and their religion.

When we approached on of the temples, there were about one hundred munks inside praying so we sort of stood outside not wanting to intrude. There was a nice family sitting at the back who motioned for us to come in and sit with them on the floor (with your feet always pointed away from Buddha!) After sitting with them they offered us bottles of soft drink and explained that it was a holiday in Laotian Buddhism. We realised that up alongside each and every munk was a bottle of pepsi with a straw poking out. The people of Laos are some of the best I've ever met.

After our site-seeing with the Brits, we were all getting along so well that we decided to go for some drinks at 330pm. 6 jugs (between 3 girls and 2 guys) later and we were all feeling very familiar. Amy and I thought we would test the friendship by showing them the gurner video. We pressed play and stood back to observe their reactions. Instead of laughing they just sort of looked at the video with expressions of disgust and fascination. When it ended one of them called Paul looked up and said "Looking at your faces now and looking at them on that aahh video....its really quite astounding".

Despite the fact that they continued drinking with us until well into the night, I have a sneaking suspicion they all went and had a little vom after seeing the video.
