Another wee story, I was renting a place in Vientiane and the landlord was showing a beast from the states, the next door unit, he asked me if I could tell her what the neighbourhood etc. was like. So I did, but her most important question was, who was and where, did I get my cleaner and cook from... When I told her that I did my own cleaning and cooking and washing etc, she was aghast and said this: "But the whole point of coming here, is to have people to do this, why would you do it yourself?" She didn't take the place. Boy I'm glad I didn't have to live next door to that.

Nope - when I was first in Laos I was considering doing something with one or other of the "charities", but the more I saw the less I liked the idea. MLG and family are certainly better for my involvement but that's not a motive, I was suggesting that Farangs can do more good by not entertaining the charity businesses. Yep, I had dinner once next to a table of aid workers, the overheard conversation, curled my toes.
