My first week in Vientiane was wet and pretty much uneventful: went to work, did some laundry and had some simple dinner. Lunch is served at the office so I am pretty much in the office from 8 to 6.
I am hoping I get to hit some tennis balls today if it stays dry. I hit once this past week against a youngster who just won an Open tournament. Let's just say that there is a new sheriff in town!
The best thing is that I am in touch with Yumi by phone and email all the time. The kids sound like they are having a blast because now Yumi can totally focus on them instead of me and them. Not sure how big the phone bill will be, but it was all worth it!

My laundromat. It costs me about USD7 for a week of laundry!
My fine dining restaurant is the best noodle soup in town. Yumi ate here as well!
Pho has most of the basic food groups and then some: vegie, meat, carbs, salt and fat! All this for USD2.
A great by-product of this former French colony is that there are a lot of great coffee and bakery places. This was my dessert back in my room.
