Yeah, it’s been a long time between posts. Sorry about that. I’ve been thinking about shutting the blog down after doing it for over 22 years, but I’ll keep on posting and trying to do it more regularly. So here goes.
It’s that time of the year in Laos and, I suppose, most of Southeast Asia–hot, hot, hot! The forecast is for highs of 40C or more for the next week, at least. That’s about 104F. We’re not into the monsoon season yet, so it’ll probably remain hot for quite awhile. I’m certainly not looking forward to it, but what’ll you do except crank up the air conditioner. Luckily, my workplace, Vientiane College, has building-wide air conditioning and I’ve got a small a.c. in my house which keeps us cool. Still, it’s not a pleasant time of year
Laos New Year (Pi Mai Lao) is in a couple of weeks, and one of its features is water play, where folks get out and toss water around at others or fire off super-powered squirt guns. It’s all in fun and the cool water feels nice, but it still doesn’t relieve the heat. Oh, well, gotta put up with it.
OK, a short post, but at least it’s a start. More later.
