this morning i left kratie, and then my plans changed all of a sudden after receiving news from home.
so i went straight from the lao border to pakse, without stopping at 4,000 islands or champasak, and tomorrow i'll be crossing over to thailand and getting an overnight bus to bangkok. it might be a record for the least amount of time spent by a tourist in laos... argh. anyway, friday night i will be flying over continents, and saturday morning i shall be in charles de gaulle airport, paris.
i'm happier this way anyway; i am starting to be very homesick and to be honest i just want some old europe in front of me. and all of the nice things paris has - like my clothes, dvs, computer, shops, cinemas, etc.
i am incredibly tired (i got up at 6 this morning and got here around 7 with a lot of standing around and waiting) so i don't think i have the energy to say anything more than this...
