My first visitor to Vientiane just happens to be my ex-boss. Tod came to Vientiane to attend the ASEAN Director General Meeting (that's a good one, Tod). Although Tod is a big city, American expat, he is gamed for everything. We went to a local restaurant and had some genuine Lao dishes, including fried frog skins, beef tongues and what Tod thought was a big jerky!
We also went around town to look at the landmarks in Vientiane. That took us all of 10 minutes!
I had great experience working with Tod the past 18 months. He is the type of boss who gives you a lot of autonomy and who makes sure that his people are treated fairly while also having fun. I was also able to develop some of the leadership skills that I lack, especially the art of office politics. Tod is the MASTER of that!
Tod promised to come visit Vientiane again with his beautiful wife, Sophia. We'll be ready for you!
Tod learning how to eat local style: with his hands!
Fried frog skins and Beer Lao are always a good starter!
Tod and other participants unwinding after a hard day at work in Vientiane...if you can believe that!
