The last couple of days have been spent on the 4000 islands- a collection of far less than 4000 Islands on the Mekong river. Electricity was from 6-10, there was no internet, we went on treks (i.e walks, but quite hot), traveled in boats and ate fresh Laos farm produce. It was all very healthy and idyllic.
I'm now in Pakse which is a dusty town in the heart of coffee growing territory. We traveled here in some very dubious vehicles- first a rickety canoe with a tacked on motor, then a very cramped bus with a lizard, some chickens and two piglets in a big brown bag.
It was great fun! Wish you were here. All of you.

Here's the anthropological study I was telling your about:
Coming of Age in Second Life
I spent this afternoon in an Oxford lecture theatre - more like a nuclear fall-out bunker that hadn't been cleaned since the end of the Cold War - talking to a bunch of dons in sports coats, socks and sandals, who had spent the last 20 years deliberating on whether to put the word compulsory in front of Project, but didn't want to rush the decision because that wasn't the "Oxford way".
