JAB RTW

Hello. Observant readers will have noticed that there wasn't a May
issue so we intend to have two June issues this month to make up
for it. We've been back in the UK a couple of days, recovering from
the shock of receiving nearly two months email in one shot, and
are trying to find a home and get back to reality.

Immediately after we sent the April issue to you, we headed to
Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand before travelling down the
Mekong to Luang Prabang in Laos. A traveller's revolt over an
insurance scam and two floating dead bodies added (subtracted?)
to the river and bankside scenery.

The next four days were spent getting wet as Laos celebrated its
new year with buckets of water and water guns - neither the police
or the monks were spared a soaking. The western contingent
armed themselves to combat each other, the locals - both kids and
adult - and the drive-by water shootings.

The highlight took place on a sandbar in the Mekong: an orgy of
water, flour, dye, alcohol, bamboo fireworks, sandcastles and
throwing the local children in the river.

Laos and the Laos people must be amongst the best in the world
but we had to say goodbye to them and all our boat friends and
travel north to China. China without a guidebook and any Chinese
is a rewarding challenge. Our reason for heading there, the old city
of Li Jiang, was, though undeniably beautiful, a bit too chocolate
box and characterless so we spent most of our time in the walled
city of Dali.

The Chinese in Yunnan are pleasant and will bend over backwards
to be helpful but they can't get their heads around the fact that you
cannot speak or read their very difficult language. A simple task
like buying a bag of crisps is both amusing and frustrating as
someone trying to help points to the Chinese writing as if to say,
"Look it says there what flavour they are."

Vietnam came next. Both beautiful and stressful the country leaves
mixed feelings to most that travel there. Sapa has both gorgeous
mountain and jungle scenery and hill tribe women following you
around trying to peddle drugs and bangles. Hanoi is vibrant and
stylish but you'll want to smack at least one or two postcard sellers
in the mouth as "no" repeated a dozen times won't cut it. If you
don't spend every last dong in this so called communist country on
a hawker's goods you risk offence. The south is better though.

The Mekong once again carried us towards a lovely country, this
time to Cambodia. Phnom Penh is a city of contrasts - expensive
houses and sheep grazing in ruined buildings live side by side and
elephants stroll around downtown. Mighty fine happy pizza too. We
saved the best of our trip to last: Angkor. One word: fantastic.

Now we are back there is a lot of catching up to do, both with email
and to get the site back up to scratch. Shame we can't go around
the world again.

Bye,
Shane & Deirdre.
