Aren't airplanes supposed to look reliable instead of this cheesy? That outlook makes you feel secure as heck. Right?

I know this pic won’t impress you much, however, when the alternative view is the interior of a Soviet made and designed aircraft you are in, trust me, this view is like BLISS!!!

On my way to the Pak Ou caves, some kids having a ball in the Mekong River. I wonder what’s the deal with all that mud on their faces. They may not have a whole lot but they sure look much happier than most kids I know in this part of the world who JUST have a lot of stuff

The caves themselves were not that great, however, the two hour boat ride along the Mekong River made the trip really worthwhile

I tried to take a picture of the slow boat driver as he was holding a 640ml. bottle of BeerLao with one hand and the steering wheel with the other. He didn't let me, instead he insisted on taking mine, not even half as amusing
