Am writing from a rather pleasant hotel room in Laos. Received a phone call on wednesday informing me that I had 24 hours to leave Vietnam and get a new visa. Had a rather stressful afternoon, then a 22 hour bus ride.
Laos is wonderful. The scenery in the countryside is awesome, misty mountains and jungle. The city is sedate, and the people are very friendly and polite. Would strongly recommend Laos to any one who intends to visit Asia.
