I have taken a lot longer in posting my last entry because to reflect on the whole trip seems to me impossible. I can say that I have learned about Lao PDR, met great people and improved my language ability during the trip, but it doesn’t feel as if that does this experience justice. All I will say is that this has been life changing for me.

I can take a moment to elaborate on the best point of this trip. I have never met so many wonderful people in such a short period in my life! Its like speed-dating for the heart. My fellow SAILers have made a lasting bond. My program leader and teachers, especially Aachaan Bounmy, feel like family members. And my friends are too good to believe.

I really can’t describe very well why this is all so great, but I love this place and always want to know whats around the next corner.
