Bun Tai Bulletin 39: The wrong duck…

Dear All,
In a couple of days I’ll have been in Laos full-time for 2 years. It hasn’t been easy but I’m happy now, I’ve made it this far. Actually I haven’t been happy for most of my time in Laos, but in the last couple of months things have changed. I no longer feel defeated […]
