AIRPORT TAX IN LAOS

Damn Laos has tons of airport tax, usually u pay for it with your ticket, but here in Laos you pay it when you get your boarding pass, damn $10 each time you enter or leave. Then also a $30 visa. Dang, adds up yo just to fly in and out.

THE 'TUDE

Yes, the attitude, even though in Laos most of the people are wonderful and nice, of course some are bit crazy and yeah some bitchy, thats anywhere u go. Went to the bakery the other day, and ordered my food, she didnt utter any words as if she was mute. I asked that in english, then in Lao i asked her to take it to go. She still didnt say anything, but took my order about 5-7 minutes early and kindly threw it into the bag, and gave me a nasty look. What a bitch!!! I know some of these people probably hate serving the nasty foreigners who will in one sitting spend up to half a persons monthly salary on some cookies and cake and coffee. So i understand that, but still, damn nasty girl, go home and take some people skills. You dont see me going around japan and bitching at everyone everyday. It was like the girl was from mainland china or something, the next thing would be that she would go out no the streets and huck a big lugee ... Geezzzz

IN BANGKOK!

Just got in from the plane from Vientiane, Laos. Now i am in the crazy backpacker area in Bangkok. Damn, its pretty sketchy, alot of hookers, alot of foreigners, where is the real Thailand? It looks like some ghetto Thai town in america , arghh ... take me back to Laos where its sooooo chill! think the pizza and foreign food was calling as me and Susanne stopped in for some pizza and pasta, of course the bill ran up to around $20!! double or even triple or bling bling compared to our meals in Laos, maybe thats the last of pizza for now .. back to cheap food .. and damn , the hotel is now not as cheap as our $12 guesthouse in Laos , dang $40 , at least its pretty cool looking hotel.... peace, new years is one day away!

ARE YOU FROM JAPAN?

Are you Japanese? That is what everyone asks of me and Susanne too. Everyone thinks we are Japanese and from Japan. Not a single, china, vietnam, korea, or anywhere else. I think its been like 20 out of 20 people asking that. Or even the more popular "konnichiwa". Even when meeting other japanese, they too would think hey are you guys japanese? Anyways, guess its the way we dress and the hair, or something like that, but i dont think our dress style is so much japanese, the stuff i wear is the stuff i would wear back home in Seattle. Mmmmm ... anyways its interesting and funny to see how people judge you by the way you look , he he he ... its all good, quite funny ..

TODAY IN LUANG PRABANG

Not much going on today except for eating, a little shopping, and a little walking around, then a little massage. First of all if the so-so steak from last night wasnt bad enough, wasted another stomach opportunity by eating a crappy ass sausage sandwich. I was hoping for something like a nice vietnamese kinda sandwich like from the Ave. But nah, got fuckin 3 hot dogs in a toasted bun. Hot damn, if i wanted that i would have eaten at Costco. Fuck. Damn, so i ordered it and had to eat it, i would rather have had some nice stir fry or some sticky rice with something else. Anyways, but so walked around a bit more, and stopped by and met a nice shop owner by the name of Noi. She explained how and where the different fabrics came from and what to look for, some were from different regions, north, south, depending on color and style, then even some of the cheap ones were from factories in Vietnam, very nice lady so bought a couple nice purses from her. Her name was Noi, same as about 10% of the lao names , ha ha ha ... if you have laotian friends you gotta know at least one or two noi's.
Later hunger of dinner was calling, so i was tired of trying these crappy ass tourist places, getting tricked for some nasty food, hell ya i am willing to pay more for some good food. That $3 breakfast did no justice. So we came along this restaurant that looked a little bling, but Susanne noticed that there were some Lao people there which is always a good thing. Sat down, Susanne still with the stomach bug ordered some pork noodle soup which was $2 but damn it was good as hell, just like how grandpa used to make it. I was looking at the set menu, but i was hungry and wanted to make my own set menu. So was craving sticky rice, garlic pork, lao sausage, and morning glory (chinese veggies). Hot damn, that was good, puts japanese food to shame, or maybe because i havent eaten this stuff for so long. Oh yum, it was like how me and ark used to go to the laos store to buy food to grub on or when we hit up all those thai restaurants around town, damn it was good. Definetly worth the extra bucks. I aint gonna be cheap, because hell its already cheap. Back home that would have been a $40 or $50 meal, but here, a nice $11.50. Sounded good, and damn i am comin back!
Lastly we finished the night with a nice lao style massage for a whopping $3 for 60 minutes. A bit more pricey, but the place was pretty nice and the ladies there were nice. When we got in i was translating some stuff to Susanne so i guessed they kinda knew that i understood Lao, even though i didnt say much to them. Funny how u can spy on in on people. So they were fighting over who could take us upstairs, then eventually the nice cute girl did. Kinda fun to talk to some locals in my crappy laotian, they sure got a kick out of it , they were very nice, their names were Duweh and shoot i forgot ... but anyways the girls nickname is chubby, and her friend was joking how heavy she was when she was twisting my poor back and legs like a pretzel. They were also amazed that i knew laotian, they and like everyone else thought me and susanne were japanese, not sure why, the other lady said the way we dressed and our hair, no ever says chinese or anything else but japanese. So these girls asked what i was, so i explained that my father is from here and that i am lao, viet, and chinese. And they are like wow! Then they always throw in that if i am French because i speak english, but i say nah , i just live in america. Funny to listen to what they talk about too, so the girls were talking and one asked what language she wanted to study, the other replied, japanese, maybe english, cute japanese boys i can talk to, then her friend asked how about french? Then she said, nah i dont like french ... funny ... anyways the girls were sweet and had a nice massage to end a nice day.

OFF TO LUANG PRABANG

Today bid goodbye to Vientiane and my uncle Oud and his nice family. Hopped on the infamous Lao Air. Checked that the weather was good to make it in one piece. The plane took off and got there in one piece, even made a nice little pit stop at an old communist airfield, nice to have the plane going on gravel. Picked up some passengers and even a really ill child, poor kid was in bad shape and looked like he was being transported from the village to a bigger city. Met up with the two lovely ladies we met the day before, Jen and Sandy, cool people from Canada.

Luang Prabang, damn its cool here, people are nice, streets are clean, its not so crazy, food is cheap, weather is nice. Its just really laid back and really cool. Kinda got in and tried to sort out some travel since we were trying to book a flight to Chiang Mai, but guess what its booked through the 9th of Jan. So fuck that , we not gonna stay that long. Might have to take the ghetto bus back to Vientiane and hop on our safety plane back to Bangkok. Lucky i got a round trip award ticket. Anyways back to LP. ... well shit i tired and really didnt do too much today, so will update more later on ... anyways ... merry xmas to u all!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone! Another year, another country, last year i was in Singapore for xmas, that was quite interesting. Today i am in Laos, Luang Prabang. Very quiet and tame, but very cool here! Alright everyone enjoy your turkey and presents, miss ya all.

EATING SPICY FOOD

Well since we were in Laos, had to get the Laotian food of course. So took Susanne to get some REAL Lao food. Ordered the ever favorite papaya salad, grilled chicken, laap muu (pork), and sticky rice and some noodles. Felt like i was ordering at the restaurant back home, at Vientiane, yum, couldnt wait to eat some Lao food, especially the sticky rice. Checked with Susanne if she wanted the shit spicy. I was trying to convince her for the not spicy at all. But what she wanted we ordered. First came out the noodles, yum, awesome! Then everything else came out. Susanne tried the laap and then the papaya salad. Hot damn, that was the end of that. Too hot for the chinese blood. Usually i dont eat hot food, but i can, usually at home that is , i dont like to eat and sweat at the restaurant, but damn i wasnt about to order food and let it go to waste, that would look really weak and shameful, so i did my best to eat it up and sweat it out like i was in a suana. Damn, hot food! At the end, it was a nice mission accomplished, managed to kill most of the food. So yes i did back up my word of eating my food, yup. But in another case, i think the food won the war over Susanne .... poor thang probably wont look at lao food again ... he he he

CURRENTLY IN THE MOTHERLAND

Yup, finally in Laos!! Where my parents grew up, kinda strange, but then at the same time kinda cool. Got to the airport and saw them making a new runway, by hand that is! Then went to pick up my Laos Visa, but forgot my passport photos. But no worry, just went into some sketchy backroom, paid the lady 1 dollar usa and got my passport photocopied, which amazingly enough was good enough. Photocopy is just as good as the picture. So paid the $30 usa and got into the country. Was supposed to meet up with uncle Oud, which of course i never met before, so i wore my green adidas hat to signal, hey its me!!! Kinda sketchy as i never met him before, and i dont speak much lao, but it worked, met up with the right guy! Took me to the old dentist shop where my grandpa used to work. Pretty cool and nostalgic, met his wife and cute and chubby daughter, very nice people, alot of fun ... will report more later on .... ah yeah and its a bit hot, but not really (Ace) Japan is waaaay hotter in the summer .. heck its winter here and people are bundled up in jackets, hats, and i even saw a guy wear a scarf, and yeah i think it was around 77 degrees or so ... interesting ... well heck even i am wearing pants .. anyways its a bit different cuz when i left osaka, it was snowing cats and dogs. Aight will report more later with day two adventures ...

SOCCER GAME

My kids did a super job, they made it to the championship round to be crowned best junior high soccer team in hyogo ken (state). Coach Kusaka is really cool, so headed out early to support the kids. It was nice and cold as when i got to himeji it was snowing. The game had a nice snow shower, but they fought on. It was the country kids, my kids versus the city boys of Kobe. It was back and forth for a long time, we had super offense kids, but they had nice mid fielders, so the ball was going crazy in the middle. It was close til the end, it was 1-1 until a miscue in the box had my kids down 2-1 in the final minute. Then another utter collapse in the last seconds to finish 3-1. It was a loss, but the coach wasnt screaming or yelling like many other japanese coaches, but he was cool and calm and just chatted with the team. So it was really cool to see that. In the end the kids were a bit down, but nothing like some tangerines and bananas to make em happy again. Better luck in the spring kids! がんばて!

XMAS TUNES

Great to listen to the ole Christmas tunes to get in the mood , gotta download em myself, dont quite got Kiss FM here .... jingle bells, santa baby, white christmas, winter wonderland, rockin around the christmas tree, and of course the japanese favorite of "last christmas" by Wham.

HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS

This year is my last year working at the local Kamae community center. So they asked me to be Santa Claus, of course being nice i said "yes". Not sure if yes was a good answer, but guess i did it for the kids. Anyways the whole experience gave me once a more greater appreciation of the mall santa's back home. Holy shit dont do that job ever. Anyways got suited up, of course i wasnt fat enough so they tied a blanket around the tummy, put on the beard which was itchy as hell and sometimes i sucked in the fake hair, nasty. Then boots and other shit was ok. The jazz band was playing Xmas tunes, they are pretty cool and i liked em, then also this year they got this cool ass mime guy that studied back in France. I thought at first how lame, a mime, but i was wrong, he was pretty damn cool. Doing some cool ass stuff, i even wouldnt mind seeing a actual performance it be cool. I couldnt see the whole mime show because i had to go to the back and suit up. All the teachers wanted to have an english speaking santa this year, and of course who else speaks english, me. Then they were trying to be all secret, like the kids couldnt guess it was me. But of course that didnt work because when i stepped into the room all the kids were yelling my name, obviously i didnt fool anyone. Anyways moved on through the sea of kids, some got out of the way, then the others were bitches trying to get under my santa suit and tug at my stomach, aka blanket. Hot damn those little punks as they were slowly deflating me. Luckily made it to the front in one piece but a little battered. They gave me some sort of lines, but it was pretty sketchy and often times i always forget shit when i am talking. So i met this super nice lady who is also the dance teacher to help me out, Ms. Manami who also used to be an english teacher, super awesome timing. So we made questions together, she was the interviewer and i was the person getting interviewed, this way i wouldnt forget my lines! Worked like a champ, santa likes to eat cookies, milk, and sushi .... kaiten sushi that is! ... Well at the end handed out cookies and candies to all the little punks. 15 minutes of Santa fame, itchy, kids pulling, but it was worth it. It was a fun time and yeah i can say i was santa for a day ...

FREAK SNOW STORM

Yeah its getting that cold, damn it was sunny then it started snowing! I always wanted to take a picture of snow and the sun, but damn always at school. It looks cool when it snows then there is the sun in the back. Aight time to put on 3 layers.

INTERESTING BLOG ...

GREASY ASS CHICKEN

It wasnt quite Popeye's, but hey KFC will do. Hot damn dont think i have had fried chicken in japan for forever. It was the brother inside of me and mike that was calling, and how did KFC deliver with some nice juicy, over greasy chicken that any fried chicken lover would be proud of. But damn of course you cant get everything cuz nope no mash potatoes and gravy here, damn, then the double damn when the cole slaw tasted more like mayonaise slaw ... ewww .. it wasnt quite the same. But overall glancing at how greased up my fingers were, it was a good meal. komapi to the KFC!

Then the bonus was that me and mike scored some pizza on the way back using our ghetto japanese, damn Chicago pizza rocks the house. It sure was a tasty american diet filled nite, yum. Nice and greasy, i mean healthy, lucky got soccer tomorrow to burn this shit off.

SAMUI !!!!

Samui means cold in japanese, and oh yeah today was fucking cold! Cold ass winds .. guess winter is finally here , but then again snowboard season is here too , yipee!!!

UPDATES ARE COMING

Been busy, or lazy, well heck one of the two, updates coming soon, as soon as i sort out these pics from culture festival at school, my trip to the fuk, eec visit, and the past electraglide concert.

GOING TO THE TOILET

Just wanted to talk about toilets, everyone gotta use em, just that everywhere you go everyone uses em differently. First of all, nothing against my fellow chinese people, but damn aim your shit into the toilet. Of all the countries, the biggest puddles of piss i find are in chinese countries or stores. Go figure, anyways.

Then of course living in japan i have had plenty to observe. You can run into any kind of toilet, a hole in ground, a squatter, or even a fine ass toilet that has a seat warmer, cleans your ass, plays music to cover your noises, and even has a sensor to flush or even lift up the toilet seat if your a man, how cool! Back in elem school i thought how about a heated toilet seat? Cuz my ass was always cold. But of course my teacher shot that down, but hell, if you ever tried a heated toilet seat you wouldnt go back. Guess thats why my friend elaine came all the way from cali to pick up her very own fine ass toilet seat.

One of my first unique experiences of a japanese restroom was that hell there was a cleaning chick in there, watching me pee! Mmmm ... back home the cleaning chick puts a sign on the door, but nope not here they just roll in. I think i saw a cleaning man just roll into the ladies room too. So if it wasnt bad enough having cleaning ladies roll in i was at elem school the other day and you guessed it the little 2nd grade girls were being peeping toms. Giggling while their english teacher was kindly depositing his fluids. Funny girls. Well if i thought that was wierd, i was in the bathroom today washing my hands, and talking with my teacher while he was taking a piss, and the 5th grade boys kindly came in and just started dancing around him while he went. I dunno, but that was a little invasion of privacy, but my teacher didnt mind and it seemed like nothing out of the ordinary. Dunno, but back home kids dont really want to see their teachers taking a piss, or i wasnt that one.

Lastly its always great to see the salary man, the japanese business men hop into the bathroom, they are always in a rush and are always carrying a bunch of shit like newspaper, briefcase, bags, beer, cell phone, etc. But yeah with their hands full they can somehow whip it out while holding everything and even at the same time be talking on the phone! One of the most incredible feats, i would have surely misfired and peed on my pants juggling all that shit ... anyways thats todays toilet blog ... time for some sleep! おやすみなさい!

MUST CHECK SCHEDULE

First of all i must take note of my elementary school schdeule. Couple of weeks ago they swapped the days between two of my schools. I wrote it down, but of course i lost that piece of paper. I thought that those dates would be coming up later in the month or even next month, so i just decided to go to the school on the regular schedule. Before i left i called my teacher to double check, but he didnt answer, so off i went on the mama cherry to tatsuno elem.

When i got there, oh boy were they shocked! So immediately in my mind i was like "fuck" today is the day of the schedule changed. They were like we changed the schedule. Um ... yes thats right ... nice to meet you all, goodbye! Well had them call up my other school to tell em ya i was coming. My teachers thought it was funny as they were telling me that i didnt have to go to the gym today, because i would do all my training on my bicycle today. So off i went, lucky the schools arent too far, just about a 15 minute ride, lucky today was a nice sunny day! Took my time, enjoyed the ride, no stress, felt a bit funny, but when i rolled into the other school it was all good.

YEAH I AM LAZY ...

Got home today and finally bought the vaccum cleaner bag replacement, of course only after 2 years!!! Shit, was the bag full, but hot damn, the vaccum works like a champ now!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Well a day or two early, but heck we are a day ahead over here. Anyways a great Thanksgiving dinner, i think its been two years or so since i have had turkey! Oh my gosh, but damn it always tastes good. It twas a rare dinner, full course with the works, corn, bread, stuffing, potato, pumpkin, gravy, salad, cake, ice cream, turkey, and tons more, and even tacos too! Great price, only about 30 bucks, heck i would have even paid more. They dont really got turkey here in japan so it was kind of the chef to make such a special meal for everyone, it was her first time and it tasted great. It was a yummy dinner, got stuffed, burp! Hope everyone has a good turkey day back home.

oishii so!

a meal fit for a king, or just a bunch of hungry foreigners and japanese

dont worry, its going to taste good

NEW XBOX 360

Another new Xbox, another new ebay battle, think i seen it going for around $1000 for the thing, wow!

ON A VERY SAD SAD NOTE

I have read the news a many a times and have heard about suicides where people just jump into oncoming trains. I have always been afraid of getting to close to the tracks, as heck you could slip or fall in, or a speedy one can actually make a gust of wind to pull u in. But guess the other day reality struck a little too close.

We were waiting for the train on the platform just like any ordinary day. Train coming on the opposite track, heading at a high speed, looks like an express that is going to cruise through, honking its horn to signal people. Everyone backs off on the opposite platform. But there is a lone figure at the end, away from the crowd. Then i see that figure, a black jacket just slowly collapse into the tracks. The train i know is coming, i see the figure and know its too late, i turn my head to escape reality for that second. I wish it were all a dream, but i know its too real. I tell my friends not to look and usher them into a corner, away from the pain. There is no sound, but i know its over. Looking to my right i know the expressions on all the people's faces that its not all right. Gaping mouths, mouths covered by hands, eyes wide open. But there is no yelling or screaming, or loud commotion as in america. This is japan, shock is a bit different, not that its bad, just different, its their own way. I see the people, its as if its a silent movie. A whisper here and there comes out, i hear a lady saying its ok, but i know its not ok. I tell myself and my friends not to look as i know it would be painful. But i look anyway, i am curious, its my nature. First i glance at the point where i last saw the person, expecting something more, i was only left with the sight of bright pink, purple bag, smack in the middle of the tracks. Thinking where else to look, i quickly glanced down the track. Maybe a couple hundred yards down. There were JR workers jumping into the tracks, as they jumped, my eyes jumped on them and followed their path towards the victim. It was a shadowy figure laying there on the tracks. Still as a stone, but i knew it didnt belong there. Just past that point a couple more yards down the train was parked, just past the body. JR workers hurried like police or paramedics but i knew they could do nothing, and also knew nothing. As if they had done it before, they swopped down with giant green bags, to cover or carry away things i dont know, nor really did care. It was over and thats all i remember, the memory still fresh and may never go away. But it made me think about my friends in the past who passed away. And how life is strange but it goes on. Makes you appreciate life a bit more, how delicate it is, how time is precious, how family and friends is precious. As time ticks, or how the sand dwindles, you must learn to appreciate your short time on this earth. Later on we made it to the temple, i made a short prayer for that person. Hoping that they went to a better place. A place where they can be at peace, maybe where my friends are at. peace ...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Alright didnt really go out or do anything special for halloween, but i will share with you my halloween that i had with my kids, i guess thats my own halloween party. Ah, and hot damn, do kids love costumes here? of course!!! its like a boxing match at times, especially with the little ones .. anyways, tried to get the creative juices goin this year and here is what came out ... 1-2 grade kids were doing numbers, but heck why not smack some numbers in costumes! kids were all over that then followed things up with some halloween fruit basket game, call your card (witch) and ya gotta run and change seats ... 3-4 grade kids, they were learning days and numbers, but hey thats boring, so why not have a costume race, i say "ghost" and the kids are off in pairs, first they gotta put on a costume, pick up a big hammer, then whack the card that has the ghost picture, first one to get the correct one wins! ... then there was the 5-6 grade kids, they have been doing directions in the previous lessons, so heck why not put it to good use. Got em into groups, two unlucky students got eye masks put on them, then secretly i picked out some random costumes that they couldnt see ... ha ha .. the whole class was laughing and rolling ... even i had to pause sometimes .. ha ha .. then they were thrown into the obstacle course to reach the infamous Doreamon toy, guided by their classmates using the instructions of turn left, turn right, go straight, stop, etc it was quite fun ... of course some instructors were better than others, the bruises on the knees can be proof of that ... alot of crashing and burning and lots of fun !!! i just love it when crazy things work! it was a one of my favorite halloweens and i wasnt even trick or treating ... enjoy the pics
