		<description><![CDATA[If there is one lesson that living in Laos can teach you it has to be “be grateful for what you have” as demonstrated by the local people. Here even if people are sick or really poor or have had something bad happen to them they will never fail to offer you a smile and words of kindness even if]]></description>

She thought about it for a day, and then came back to us:  Yes, she wanted to]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every time we leave Laos we seem to step instantaneously into the hustle and bustle of a shiny, more developed country that has things like supermarkets, trendy clothes, movie theatres and fast food chains. At first these things are exciting and new (again) but then the novelty wears off after a while and you are just in a concrete jungle]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we come from a country where pretty much everything is on time, you phone your boss to apologise and explain if you are running 10 minutes late for work, and appointment times mean you turn up on time or miss out, it can be a little mind-bending at first to understand how time works in Luang Namtha. Now we]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post has been inspired over the past few days when all of these conversations actually took place.  They are so different from anything we would say or hear in our daily lives living in a western country, that we thought it might be good to share them!

		<description><![CDATA[The pace of life here in the sleepy small town Luang Namtha, Laos couldn&#8217;t really be more different than the pace of our former lives in the &#8216;big city&#8217; of Sydney, Australia. This was demonstrated to us yet again in the past few weeks as we have been trying to rent a property.  So we thought we&#8217;d put together a]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So we’ve been a bit remiss lately with writing blog posts for this site. Life in Laos just makes you that way. You have intentions to do something, but if it doesn’t happen today, or tomorrow, or next week, it’s no big deal. A wake up call for us as to how “Lao” we’ve become has been the realisation that]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week we have had several comments from travellers in Luang Namtha encouraging us to write about the very different things that we are sometimes doing in a day.  It is so vastly dissimilar to our former western-society lives and yet these days we are pretty used to it so take whatever today&#8217;s mission is, as it comes.
