No problem, Russ. I respect people's privacy. Can't say they always respect mine, though. There've been plenty of times that I got treated like public property. It's an Asian thing, especially in these parts. Strangely enough I never encountered this in Laos. All the more reason to make it my home.

Darn! They cancelled the afternoon flight. No idea why. Probably not enough passengers. Now I have to leave early morning and still arrive at the same time. The afternoon flight -including stop over in Hanoi- would've taken like 4 to 5 hours. The morning flight will take me 11 hours with a 6-hour stop over in Hanoi!!! There used to be a direct flight by EVA Air but that one lasted only a couple of months. Would've taken a mere 3.5 hours.

I have to leave for the airport at 4AM (Taiwan Time) and will arrive in Laos at 6PM (Lao Time). Taiwan is ahead by one hour. Might as well not bother going to bed. Ha!
