2007 Spring Festival in Laos-Cambodia (2)

2007.2.14, 4 beautiful island of Saint Valentine's Day

We're going to be four thousand beautiful island, the smallest of the island, is also used by thousands of countless yimei praised this place is about the most beautiful beauty Island-Rhode Island-East (Don Det).

Sat small vessel sailed past the Mekong as wide as the sea, the first to greet our East Rhode Island soft sand and a dog (chickens and ducks and I've seen are not the same, but the dog is most soil of China dog), the dog saw we took our middle stuff in our island, the dog has been in the evening with stuff, stuff's one-legged down to sleep, eat well in our feet, but we left the island in the morning, the dogs did not occur. .....

In total we arrived on the island of beauty, we appreciate the beauty of the island sunset metres, it is also good, but do not know because in exasperated we live the GDR most expensive sunset room – 10 $, I always feel that there is no sunset we later live 3 $ sole feet floor to see nice--typical miser.

Like East Rhode Island is not need reasons, here was hailed as the most beautiful island paradise of 4 the most original and most serene place.

Here, modern civilization: the electricity, not yet fully entered. Most of the GH also using candles, even though the island's best GH, only seven to nine in the evening with generator powered. short term (Most of the places to eat, you can also generate electricity in these local charge)

Lao Lao is like a reason to East Germany.

East Rhode Island best known as the old whiskey Lao Lao. In low-altitude under the gg's provisioning (a bottle LaoLao, 2 ice bucket, 2 cans of Cola, 2 cans of old-fashioned sports drinks) glow with magic, even not drink stuff from the wine loving.

A bottle of LaoLao, stuff has fallen asleep at the table, we have a quite drunk, but once again I drink more of Vietnam.

Sober I watch without the slightest light calm, watching the Moon disappears behind a black lacquer Ma black world. (Moon mm also to date to? today but how Valentine's day)

This is why no longer drink bar, the more the more sober, drink or flesh drunk, but woke up.

The book is all about four thousand United States Islands: it flows from North to South, Laos Mekong flows into the southern part of Laos, near the Cambodian border, runs away, are large and small alluvial diffluence, far removed from the island wide basin.

The rainy season comes, the widest place 14 km away, is the Mekong in Laos in the widest section of "waist". Dry river ebb, "wide waist" appears in hundreds of small islands. If you are the sandbanks, quantity over a thousand, the local people extravagant beauty of the "thousand" island.

Today's Raiders:

6 am arrived at the bus (bus from Vientiane last night), take to the Champasak tuk-tuk arrive by ferry (15 per person fare, 000kp), sat 1, 000kp River Ferry, find a tuk-tuk, 8 dollars for a car to the Champasak (package sent back to the Terminal)

8: 30 arrive at Champasak, tickets 30, 000kp.

Tickets are expensive, people think that if you want to go to Angkor, Champasak can not go to another does not go to the Champasak because, from the Champasak to four thousand beautiful island traffic is not very convenient, we finally took great price ($ 4 one package to the beauty of the thousand islands ferry) arrive.

11: 00 left the Park, reaching Champasak of ferry, the ferry people to our 5,000 (clip! just 1, 000kp) willing to our past.

Across the River, and finally found a tuk, a car 2 $ sent to 13, the highway junction (from color to 4 beautiful island car will go through the road). To begin, from color came during the car, the car passing by going 4 beautiful island, but this local bus has been crowded with people, even with all shook up, although the owners of did nothing but advised us to get in, that can be packed, but finally everybody or abandoned.

10 minutes after the arrival of East Rhode Island, as we in occupies Palestine held up a color in the morning, arrived at East Rhode Island after it is difficult to find a House (in fact, is a not-this is when I wandered the East Rhode Island concluded), apart from the whole East Rhode Island the most expensive one, a Chinese GH, the House on the island are generally about 3 $/day, their house offer 12 $, cut into 10 $, last only for a night to get moving

2007.2.15 day

The island's most expensive House, today is in any case no longer, find room of the sober I yesterday.

This also intends to look at the Sunrise I, on the role of laolao, or rely on a bed, and so I'm out of time, the Sun has appeared on the horizon, but twilight reflect the island is just the dyed blonde.

I just walked out of, or found yourself up or too early, the path of a visitor, not carrying a large bag of islands of tourists also means that there is no empty room.

But since it is impossible to go back to sleep in the back, so take this opportunity to foot measurement of this island.

Tourists still asleep, but the island's inhabitants have wake up fishing trip had been on the roadside stalls, began selling fresh fish.

Fresh fish let me buy one back the urge to make soup will go out to buy it! (way back, a lot of visitors, but missing the stalls selling fish----sorry!) to get up early for children with a variety of containers to the River with water, he saw me this should not occur at this time, all around me, help me catch upA follow me away long before called long dog, hold my fool digital photograph for the children, take all playback to see the kids looked at the camera's own and partners, gesticulates. Walk around, wearing the white uniform for larger children are twos and riding a bicycle ride across from me, Riverside a girl dressed in tube dress down the River to... ... Along the way, stop teasing out the side of the child, a walk to the River to see the Sun has just come out of the River.

When I walked to the end of the small island, found 3 $ day Sunrise room, back when veiled with golden rays of the island no classes, no selling fish stalls, and my kicks kids gone and even then only after my name is kept the dogs.

Is it all but just a dream?

However, the dream is that called the Paradise Island of 4000-us?

The dream and reality are not clear, should be the last night the bottle laolao role?

Back to guest houses, the House... ...

In the afternoon I and 3 gg decided to go kayaking.

This fun kayaking I 2 impressed:

The first is that, after a long period of South-East of the Sun, my face became yellow face great (here please put yellow face great as an adjective), and the Sun became black carbon, most poor is my back, forget sunscreen lotion, even the son of Indian swimsuit are drying out (write these time Indian Child, 55555, don't know when will disappear, poor taro, already from the store to buy a large number of mask, whole body enjoying in. .....

）

The second impression is that the three added up to more than 100-year-old gg jue bums in an unknown Island find "gold mine" of the scene, but unfortunately there were no cameras.

Well, we draw a kayaking to bypass some small island and decided that there was no one in a small island on the beach, enjoy our lunch. On the island of low-level gg said, let me very depressing words: "Unfortunately, such a beautiful little island, our three big men actually is and a small taro mm on the island, but conversely, I and 3 mm on the island. "The hell of me! my on the island but they much pleasure!

Eat a simple lunch, everyone in the shallow water began to run, or you don't know who was the first to discover that three average age greater than 35, add up to more than 100 of gg, suddenly found in the sand Golden glittering "gold", and the beach of the sand was (I still do not believe that it is gold, but few believe it gg).

So three gg jue this ass exploration on the beach. A gg called: "come over here, over here a lot!" and two other gg pidianpidian 's. Only left unmoved by I continue to lay there in the Sun. I haven't slept, but heard not far away from several of the gg start nonsense, began to talk about here on the feasibility of mining and investment income. My God! "is not a woman, love is the gold? but why in the face of the" gold ", I was unmoved, and several of the gg is so persistent?

In my sleep for a while after he woke up, several gg seems to have reached an agreement on investment, but we still wonder why in the Lao People's has not found the GoldMine, few determines further exploration of several gg island.

In watched several island, discover the sand are the amount with the "golden" is very high, gg were finally calmed down a little.

I don't know why they are eventually abandoned mining gold.

Perhaps because the investment agreement cannot be reached or investment and income? or they have been without my knowledge, secretly dives back four thousand beautiful island expand "investment"?
