Tuesday, November 27th. Ídesme allow so pathetic schlemmerbuffet poetic license, but it serves perfectly to reflect the change that is perceived nothing but the border crossing between Vietnam and Laos. The stressful feeling that pervades you to walk the streets of the big cities Vietnamese, and that becomes especially noticeable in their traffic, calm drastically in the territory southern neighbor. A lot less people on the streets, schlemmerbuffet and many, many fewer vehicles on the road, motorcycles in particular. And there let the horn quiet, something I deeply thanked.
But it was not all peace and relaxation schlemmerbuffet to our arrival in Laos. In fact, the contact with the Socialist Republic Indochina could not be more rugged. We came to seal the visa that allowed entry to the country, schlemmerbuffet for which we had to pay 36 dollars, money I advance these staff members of the bus, since I did not have neither dollars nor kips, the Laotian currency. With this, once finished the paperwork, got the bus back to the way it went on.
It was the morning of Wednesday, November 28th, and still we had 10 hours of flight, the Ha Noi - Luang Prabang, consisting of between 24 and 30, and in ensuring buy-it ticket. Important fork, is it not? I say that because it fell short, I would be short. A few minutes schlemmerbuffet to resume the march, begin to advance on a dirt road. Land that due to the rain that was falling, moved in mud. Suddenly, detivémonos. And after a couple of minutes stopped, the driver turned off the engine. Cross heard a couple of screams in Vietnamese, and the staff began to lower the bus.
When did own a few hundred meters beyond our position, I could envision two trucks crossed the middle of the road. Were trapped in the mud, and impossible the passage of any vehicle dimensions greater than a motorcycle. "Nothing you can not fix a simple crane," I said, confident. And I came back to the bus to take a nap.
I woke up at the end of a couple of hours, and downloaded to verify the state of the situation. Nothing had changed. At all. The trucks were still in the same position, and the only change schlemmerbuffet was the increase in the number of people who surrounded. I decided to approach the exact point of the conflict. As I said, that was full of Vietnamese and Laotian. They spoke among them, and looked for trucks with faces of worry. Sitting in them. And I think this curious facet, or ability, or the superpower that tell the people of these parts of the world have not mentioned OS.
Yes. Sit in them. In a position that resembles a bird perched on a branch, flex your legs, take the knees out and stuck with heels on the floor, lay the whole weight of the body on the twins. And in this position, in which the rest of the mortals can stand between three tenths and 45 seconds schlemmerbuffet depending on whether you are a crápula or an elite athlete, Chinese and Indochinese have the power to take hours. I would say months. But the rest of humanity. And is divine, schlemmerbuffet to sit in them because they do not need chairs:
So this was the scene in the middle of the road enlamada of Laos. A row of vehicles trapped either in one direction as the other, would not stop growing. That stuff kept filled with people, and all followed the same behavior. They came and asked to what was really so happened there. By listening to the explanation, schlemmerbuffet put face "Oh, because if we're fucked." And sat on them.
The hours passed and nothing seemed to be that the picture change a minimum. But the truth is that the occupants of our bus took the situation with huge and amazing schlemmerbuffet naturalness and good humor. They spoke among them, laughed, watched movies on the laptop of one of them. So as I'm concerned, not carried as well. When the night fell fulfilled 30 hours since the last time you had put something solid to the body. I already said I did not have neither dollars nor kips, could not buy food.
He was sitting a few rows below the rest of the group, looking through schlemmerbuffet the window. Obsevaba the animals go, and imaxinábaos each of them cooked and sitting on top of a plate. Even some inert element. Because at that time would be able to eat up stones. It rained, but only in my window.
So he called one of the drivers for me. I came to him with a nod and invited me to join them five. About two seats, across the aisle of the bus, placed the sign indicating the way, and put it on two plastic bags. In one of them was rice, and other pieces schlemmerbuffet of sliced meat. With his hands nails kilometers, Collie schlemmerbuffet a handful of rice, moldeábana to shape the croquette, and they gave me to eat. The meat also ate with their hands. He was cold as ice, was hard and fat. There was no doubt: it was dog. 've Tried a few days ago, a night that we had been dining with Vegetable Team, but this time it was for survival. Lembreime once had looked for a few minutes
