I feel like like my spinal cord is gone! Thanks to 26 or so hours of flight, I can now feel muscles that I didn't know existed! The heat here is also making me understand the uselessness of makeup!!!
The flight from Montreal to London with Air Canada was crowded but I was lucky enough to have a nice young guy as a neighbor. He would have been an amazing person to talk to since I later learned that he was travelling the world but we were both too busy trying to sleep to have any sort of conversation.
Waiting in Heathrow was long and boring. The airport is extremely fancy and expensive so shopping was not a good option. The only interesting thing I found was to sit beside a "football" team and listenend to them talking with their very POSH accent! I adore this accent it is so sexy!
Thai Airlines treated me very well. The plane was extremely empty! So empty that we all had three seats each and I could sleep most of the time. This was very fortunate because had the plane been full, this 12h flight would have killed me. The food was good though so I am excited to discover this new foooooood!
Finally, I found all my friends for this trip in Bangkok and we hung out and drank cheap Thai beer in the airport pub. It was quite relaxing and the 1hour flight to Vientiane did not seem so bad.
VIENTIANE (or Viangchang) is HOT and SWEATY! Hot hot hot hot hot! I was expecting it but it still hit me hard! I will soon talk about the city and post pictures but for now, we are staying in what is probably the finest hotel here and I am particularly grateful for the great showers and confortable beds. Tonight will be sooooo good.
