There's been heaps of practicing in the last couple of weeks for the fiercely competitive boat racing festival. Villages from the surrounding area take part, the women prepare meals at the village hall or temple to fuel the 50 men in the boats. Crowds gather each day on the river banks to watch the training and discuss possible champions.
There was talk of forming an expat boat with us in dressing-up in drag (can't imagine who suggested that), maybe next year!
Day 1 of the festival was on the Meekong, Wendy's house is by the finish line, handy! she invited her friends and colleagues for a party - we shared home cooked food and beerlao
Do it and turn it into a fundraiser, go viral and you have another ice bucket challenge ;)
