Antsy Antsy Ants'hillvania...

This morning I woke up to find thousands of ants crawling all over this pair of shoes. (This picture was taken after beating both of them against the wall.) I looked inside and realized that they thought this was their new home.

Refreshed

Yesterday we took a drive about 45 minutes outside of Vientiane to celebrate Hong's brother's brother-in-law's house-opening ceremony. It was so good to get away from the dust and pollution of the city into the freshness of the partially-jungled parts of Laos.

Sumo loves bananas.

Enlightened

I watchd an episode of Enlightened last night. Not my favorite show, but I couldn't help but be excited that Jurassic Park Lady plays a character named Amy. 

"Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth."

My Quest for Internet / This Country in a Nutshell

This is my house.

After living here for over a year, there is a chance that I will perhaps be getting internet!

And in this country, that's as good as you can hope for.

The internet guy might have come to my house already yesterday, and may come again today or tomorrow.

Hong tried to explain who this guy is over skype.

Two Videos

Both of these videos were taken during my time in Malaysia.

This first video is part of a traditional Malaysian scarf dance (during the show blogged about here.)

The second video is of the orangutans. I could have watched these guys for hours! It was so fun to see them without bars or glass in the way.

Puppy Love

GAH!

I missed this puppy while I was gone!

Kuhcing! Sunset and Goodbye

When we were finally able to go to the beach, the sun had started setting. It was so beautiful.

 Goodbye, Kuching! It's been fun.
