...well we check into our guest house in Vientiane and head out to explore the city...we are about 5 feet out from our guest house when i hear an oz bloke invite us for a drink of whiskey...well always one to share some canadian cheer i thought might as well have a quick whiskey...Derick lives in between Laos and Australia...spends most of his time drinking in a small bar which happens to be attached to our GH...his friend Decland is from Ireland...although he has been living in Cambodia for the last 16 years...he lives in Penan Pen with his wife and 10yr kid. Turns out the Decland works in security...well sort of...well...he works with the Cambodian government...a sort of soldier for hire you could say...ya.......
As one could imagine the stories that were being told around that table were of the highest quality bullshit on planet earth. I learned quite a bit about the camaroosh...different corrupt gov'ts etc...not too mention that Derick had his bag full of stories although not as interesting as Decland's...Dereck has a few wives and kids between OZ and Laos...sort of lost count and really he has been drinking since 10am...i could barely understand a word he was saying.
Part of me was a bit skeptic of some of the these stories that Dec...we are on nicknames status now...was telling me...then somehow we started talking about tattoos...off comes my shirt to reveal my new tattoo across my back...ya sorry mum didn't show that one to you yet...and of course dec and josh do the same...
well as josh and the other few people were checking out his tattoos i noticed something that look like...well...not that i have experience in this sort of thing...however it looked a bit like a bullet hole...so i ask...is that a bullet hole...well yes it seems as though i was correct in my assumption...as there was not just one bullet hole but 5-6 more in his back...ya no shit...this guy was the real shit...special forces...black ops...need to know basis kind of scary 007 james bond shit...oh did i mention that we were all drinking opium tea?
well we didn't get very far that afternoon...spent the most of it shooting the shit with Dec and Dereck. Josh and I did get a chance to go for a walk around the city...we climbed a Wat in the middle of the city and banged on the huge drum...it was very cool...a silly dog chased us off...
that night we went to dinner with Dec...indian food...the opium was hitting us all pretty hard and josh ended up heading back to the hotel to have a cold shower and toss...Deck and i followed PDQ...i was the only one who didn't toss...
Being that Josh and Deck tummy's were a bit sore we though that smoking some reefer would settle the tummy down a bit...so Deck's wife came over with some reefer...She's quite a beautiful woman...tall...she's an artist as well which is very kwel...we went up to our room to smoke listen to music and look at pictures...i was showing them the burningman photos from my IPOD.
feeling much better...still very stoned...and chatting about the world...it was a very bizarre and fun filled evening. Dec and Dereck gave us a ton of great info about laos and cambodia...turns out that there's a lot of fun to be had in these two countries...just as long as everyone plays along with the rules then no one get hurt...and really the rules are not terribly hard to follow.
so that's the first night of our laos adventure...
can it get crazier...tune in next time...same bat channel same bat time...
peace
