Tiger Tiger ....not elephant man!
Hi Tiger, Been following your exploits and they look amazing - sorry for not posting sooner. I see you seem to be enjoying yourself....any thoughts on a full time placement :) When you're in Laos take a picture of the Imperial Tobacco factory...I nearly ended up working there. Keep those pictures coming, Steve

Nice helmet
Nice red helmet Holy Tiger.

booze
That banana liquier must have done you some good Shaun - your hair started sprouting at an amazing rate!

It looks incredible
It looks like everyday is an adventure, although you are busy I am sure you must feel so peaceful at the same time! It must be such a humbling experience, I am really happy to see you are enjoying yourself! Oh and as for Jake, he is working like a trooper at the minute on his work, he really is doing so well! Im really proud of him. And incase he forgot to mention it, he misses you! Have so much fun, be careful, and see you soon. Love Tracy xxx

Laos
Shaun Glad to read that you're enjoying your placement. Not sure how big Ben Hatkhai is but couldn't locate it in my atlas. Bet Tony's got a map of it though!! I take it that you were swimming in the River Mekong? Hope that you matched the rendition of Kookaburra with some good British rounds!! Note you're going off radar for a while so take care of yourself and break radio silence as soon as you are able. Blighty is just about the same as when you left, short of the balmiest February on record and the odd earthquake, but don't worry I managed to sleep through it. Best wishes Simon & Dorota

open mind & Nongkai
Goodluck in Laos! I will be doing the same thing shortly. I've always wanted to volunteer for kids. It's good to know the experience in Nongkai went well. Take care.

Back home!
Hi Shaun, I was hoping to come to Vientiane and maybe catch up with you and Ida before I left NongKhai but it all got too rushed with school sports carnivals and the like! I'm back home in Aus now, and still a little dazed with the travel, but have to say that the school experience in Ho Kham village was amazing and I loved it. I saw Sven's photos of the weekend he and Tim spent with you guys in Ban Na and you seemed to be having a great time. Hope the teaching is going well. Is it as you expected? For me, it was both more than I expected and less. The Temple School novices were English language experts in comparison with what I found in the village, and 2 weeks wasn't near enough to touch the tip of the iceberg, but it comforts me to know that there is now a school of 120 village children in Thailand who canall now draw and spell "kangaroo" and were well on the way to learing all the words to "Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree" when I left! A pocket of Australia! Be in touch later.
