Welcome

Welcome to my blog! Or in other words, welcome to random ramblings, musings and reports from my life.

I try to post here at least once a month, so do keep checking back or get email notification when I've posted (click 'Follow my blog' further down the right hand menu).

Muong Ngoi Neua

A place with no vehicles other than boats.
A place with one dust road with absolute ends to it.
A place with no telephone or internet.
A place with electricity, but only 6-9pm.
A place where you fall asleep at 9pm by candlelight in a hammock overlooking the river and stunning, jagged jungle mountains.
A place where you sleep in bamboo huts and eat water buffalo.
A place where you can see all the stars.
A place where all the roosters in the worls wake you up at 5am.
A place where, having been woken up by the crowing cockerels, you doze to the sound of the school's beckoning-drums.
A place where the haze doesn't lift until 11am, and the clouds stay below the peaks until at least 12noon.
A beautiful, wonderful place.
