    I loved the lady and little girl on the classic motorcycle, if that doesn't warm ones heart there's something wrong...thank you both for sharing real experiences with us and hopefully travel and cost, will get back to normal so I can explore as well, thanks again absolute great content

    • @NowinLao
      @NowinLao  Před 3 lety

      Great point there Ron... Cost! Travel will no doubt get back to normal eventually, but I'm afraid because there will be a demand for travel, the airlines are going to get everything they can out of us to make up for their losses. I think it will be a long time before we ever see air travel prices like they were pre-covid 😏
      Yeah, beautiful real people no matter where you are in Laos. Cheers mate 🍻

    Leyland brothers adventure! Mate, that's dating you. Just found you and Neenee's channel and I'm enjoying your travels. I'll deep dive into past ones too but it is a great way to learn about our Asian neighbours (I'm an Aussie too). Hopefully, when the world starts moving again, I can get over there and travel the Ho Chi Mihn trail too.

    Sound is great. Feels like we’re there with you and NeeNee as the trucks and cars whooshed by. I can smell the hot coal under the pot and beerlao. Watching your vids help a bit to alleviate my homesickness; eagerly anticipating the opportunity to go back. As someone commented in part 1 of the Ho Chi Minh trail epic road trip, you might want to add a tag line that says “aka Wow in Lao”. 🤣 Your humor is too subtle for NeeNee. I will definitely take my extended family to visit NeeNee’s restaurant. My brothers had already been there and they loved it.

    • @NowinLao
      @NowinLao  Před 3 lety

      Yeah, it was mainly the music in the background that made it hard. If I had let the video and conversation playout, I would've been stung with a copyright infringement. Lol later on in the video when I'm talking about the trip. from about the 13:05 mark, you can hear where I overlaid another song on top of the background music, because on my first upload I did get an infringement. Stuff that! Lol So yeah, I guess it was more annoying to me because of how much more work it made of a simple video. Thanks Peter for coming along and commenting on every video 💪

Where you're at might be loud with trucks now, but in 1972, just to the east in Tchepone (Xepon, Sepon), the explosions from operation Lam Son 219, must have been deafening, brain-shaking, bone-rattling.

    Your English is getting better than Todd's Lao hahaha. nice dung hole in the john to squat over, reminds me of spiffy biffs on job sites where you nail a toilet seat together as to not sit on the shit, nasty ass things they were when I lived in Las Vegas. It was nice to see you made it out alive and your truck beat to hell. Time for some shocks, drive line and u-joints, new gear oil in front and rear gear casing, and new transmission oil and seals checked. new oil, filter, and air filters. That truck really is a good truck, it is a Nissan right? well the wife Lanette loved the journey and so did I. take care till we see you fixing the truck mate.

The western toilet is dirty, who wants to sit in someone else's what have you, it's disgusting unless you own the seat. Gimme a squat pot any day, yer a lucky man, let er' rip Mate.
