I’m back in Luang Prabang after a three-year absence. As you
can see, it’s not that bad. It sure was bad in those days and it’s taken me
this long to even think about coming back. I heard that the crook that took off
with close to a thousand dollars worth of my books scammed other people too.
Misery likes company. I’m not going to think much about other books unaccounted
for. In the big picture, if I can still do something good for Lao education,
I’ll swallow those losses. I’m employed now. I like the job and it’s my first
salary in ten years. Honest.
