Daily Life, Laos

Half Cultured

May 25, 2011 Sharon 2 Comments

My friend Candice submitted this short film to the Vientianale International Film Festival. It’s a pretty darn perfect comparison of Lao and American culture.
Check it out! Then visit her blog for more details. (She’s my blogmeister guru.)

The Guide Hog

The title of this blog refers to my tendency to “hog” the tour guide in my quest to learn everything about every place we go. No guide is safe – the park ranger in Borneo’s rain forest, the divemaster in Thailand’s Similan Islands, the rice farmer in Southern China, the hostel owner in central Turkey, the Buddhist monk at a Lao temple; the camel driver in Rajasthan, and the list goes on. But now it’s MY turn to be the guide, and YOU can be the “guide hog” while I share our experiences as international teachers and travelers.
