Blegz and Kristin are coming our way

Our friends Mark ("Blegz") and Kristin are coming to Laos! YAY!

Mark is a perfesser or some such other fancy-book learnin' type, and he's been invited to speak at a conference about bones, muscles and the 4 food groups (or something, I don't know) in Taiwan. Too bad Eva Air cancelled their route; they'll have to fly through Bangkok or Vietnam.

But, Kristin studied in Thailand during college, so maybe she'll want to take a trip down memory lane (or at least a trip between the international and domestic terminals at the Bangkok airport), as they fly up to Udorn.

Anyway, because they are currently scheduled as our next visitors, they will likely get to share in our overpriced helicopter ride. Who cares if our money goes to help the disadvantaged kids of Laos, I still feel totally ripped off, and will only go on the helicopter ride in protest.
