I wanted to wake up early because I wanted to try one of two Vientiane’s most famous bakeries, both of which were situated near the fountain. There was the Scandinavian Bakery, which failed to appeal to me at all. Maybe it’s because of the sheer size of the pastries! For someone who is watching their […]

Why is it that if you sleep with her easily, she’s a slut. If she doesn’t give it up too easily, she’s a tease. We women just can’t win, can we? 🙁 On the flipside, I now know why last year, the guys I’ve dated had asked me out, had a great time at dinner […]
