That Time Of The Season Again and I am reminded of it in Laos. Story Within.
Hello all!!
As some of you have already had some comments answered, you would have guessed that I am back in Thailand.
I arrived at my hotel in Udon Thani yesterday afternoon.
Hope to rid myself of this flu for once and for all, the infection is now in my eyes as well.
This photo will give you some idea, where Christmas has spread to in the new world.
I took this shot of the young Laotian Boy in his father’s little shop in Vientiane.
The shops and hotels in Laos are decorated with Poinsettia in full bloom for the season’s celebrations...
I did notice that this plant is also used at Christmas time in Germany.
The spirit is not as strong in Thailand though.
Now back to answering another 179 comments from you kind folks.
Will upload a Christmas card soon...
Cheerio for now my friends.
Walkabout John.

Nice little Santa :-)Maybe the lack of spirit depends on the weather - I heard from a friend from Australia that they have 28° degree today ....;-)
Enjoy the celebrations and get healthy soon
best wishes Christel
