So I'm in laos now. I took a two day slow boat to Luang Prabang. The boat was suppost to hold 80 passangers, but they put 150. some people were worried and started to make a fuss to the captain to try and get two boats. The arguement was easly settled by the captain as he says, "Ok, two boat." he then untied the boat and we were off . . . . . . . on one boat still. After about an hour into it everyone was put to ease because the boat seemed to handle it and 80% of the boat brought whiskey bottles. i was one of the masses and soon the other 20% realized how boring an 7 hour boat ride is and joined the festivities. I met a lot of really cool people on that boat and have been have a lot of fun in Laos with all of them. the one down side of the boat was that the Burmese have been throwing the bodies of their dead into the river, so there are a couple of floaters.
Yesterday, about six of us went to a waterfall about an hour outside of town with 10 people. it was really fun and they had some natural swimming pools with a rope swing and a cliff jump were we spent most of the day relaxing. I did have to make a rescue on some dutch girl who swallowed some water under the water fall. i was a hero for the day and got bought a couple beers for my good deed.
Tomorrow I'm off to Vang Vieng for some tubing and fun.
Hope everyone's doing well.

Vang Vien is "verry nice" be careful on the river tubing, it is really easy to get drunk when you dont even have to get out of your tube to get a beer.
Dont forget to do a stat for your rescue, remember: Time, Date, Location, Type of Rescue (Pier, Rip, Side Current, Etc.), and Name, Age, Gender, City.
