6:30 Downtown Luang Prabang

Every young man becomes a Monk for a short or long time in Laos. They depend on the locals and visitors like us for their food. This is a local in a line of seated givers providing aid this morning as they do every morning. It sounds a little like national service. David Cameron are you listening. Although the climate here is a little warmer than the UK .... this time of year. Mrs UE is sitting on the bed sheet you can just see to the left. She was there!
