Idän sitruuna

Finally, after six days of being ill and travelling through Laos I found a pretty nice small village I’m going to settle down for a while. On the way here I met a guy who is also going to do some rock climbing and tubing – and because all the guest houses except one bungalow-style place – seemed to be full – we are now sharing one shitty room together for ~1,5 euros a night. It’s not that bad but on the other hand we have all the luxuriaites including a raw of rat holes.

Now I’d really like to get some pics from my camera to upload here. It’s just sooo beautiful everywhere here and I got few funny shots I want to share, too. (:

Here’s some pics. I paired up with a Canadian guy who was in Vang Vien to do some rock climbing. Later on, we shared a cozy and well-kept bungalow like this:

yes, it is a rat hole on the left side and on right there’s the way we protected our snacks from super-hungry rodents.

Piece by piece our bungalow was shattering into pieces. The last straw was the lock which conked out just when we were tried to open the door! That’s how we remowed the whole thing.

Luckily, a better place was just around a corner – as you can see!

Jep. Shit happens sometimes, and this time my trip to Myanmar ended almost before it begun. For some reason we picked up a wrong bus with Chris, and unfortunately our choice was going totally wrong direction. I was actually just trying to cop some z’s on my seat when Chris woke me up and told that we must get off in the middle of nowhere. So there we were, about 40 km from Pai and no idea how to get to Chiang Mai (which was our destination for the morning).

After a while we tried to hitch hike back and some village tribe women, who were going to Pai to sell some handicrafts, gave us a ride. It wasn’t that bad as it sounds. The scenery on the way was pretty nice and the sun was rising and warming us. The village people couldn’t speak any English but they were smiling at us all the time (and finally they tried to sell some handbags when we were back in Pai :)

It was already 10 AM and I really wasn’t in a mood for spending another few hours in a hot and humid bus to Chiang Mai. Therefore I decided that It’s better to head to Laos instead of Myanmar and marched to Aya service that sells ready-made trips to Thailand-Laos border. I booked my ticked for this evening, so I’ll be in Laos tomorrow morning…

Olinpas juuri kuuppaamassa rankan tyopaivan jalkeen rantakuppilassa ja kuuntelemassa ikivihreita suomihitteja. Niin siis hymyhuulia ja tallaista. Huvittavaa sinansa, mutta amerikkalais-saksalaisiranilais-sveitsilainen porukkamme koetti vaittaa kiven kovaan, etta olavi linna laulaa ranskaksi.

Mutta nevermind, mun Pai-TJ on muuten nelja paivaa nyt, silla mun viisumi eraantyy ensi tiistaina ja tama on ehdoton deadline olla jo muualla ellen halua lusia muutamaa hetkea paikallisessa rangaistuslaitoksessa. Alkuperaiset suunnitelmat kuudesta viiosta saan nakojaan unohtaa ihan taysin, sen verran tiukkaa mun psyykeelle taalla pyoriminen tekee. Lisaksi mun tyoajat menevat ihan eri rytmissa muiden dormiksessa elavien tyyppejen kanssa, joten kaytannossa ma en saa oisin nukutta ollenkaan, kun jengi tulee kotiin pikkutunneilla ja pitaa ihan hirvittavaa mekkalaa (tai keksii jotakin muuta ihan himputin arsyttavaa mokaamista). Mun pinna taman kaiken lapitunkevan kylmyyden kanssa on myos finito, ja niinpa jo ajatuskin siita, etta maisemat vaihtuvat taas hetikohta, tekee ihan huisin hyvaa.

Ainut probleemi on siina, etta mulla ei ole minkaanlaista hajua siita, minne maailma mut seuraavaksi lykkaa – taalla on niin monta hienoa paikkaa kaytavana ja nahtavana ja niin monia hienoja ihmisia, joihin haluan tutustua (ja niin monta hienoa rantaraflaa, jotka soittavat suomihitteja) etten oikein tieda miten pain olla. Joka tapauksessa seuraavaksi tama urhea sankari lahettaa taas jattipaketin talvivaatteita kotopuoleen ja suuntaa joko Burmaan tai Laosiin – Madventuresin malliin – tsekkaamaan mestoja.

Alustava vaihtoehto Ö on palata saman tien takaisin Thaikkuihin ja napata samalla uusi kuukausi armonaikaa nauttia nateista keleista. Paljon mehevammalta tosin kuulostaa suunnitelma palloilla hetki rajalla ja katsoa missa maassa tullivirkailijat hymyilevat leveimmin – ja menna sitten sinnepain. Niin, miksi tehda elamasta liian vaikeaa, kun voi vaan palloilla vahan sinne ja tanne, ja antaa seks^H^H^H^H maailman vieda ja taksin tuoda? :)
