You first hear the percussions and gongs from the street corner, and when you get there, past the little crowd, you can see them : the New Year dragons, dancing on a doorstep to bring wealth to the home. During the Lunar New Year week, dragon dancers troupes are paid by chinese families to come […]
For the last month, I travelled almost exclusively with some friends : a frenchman from Normandy who played Brassens on Thai beaches, the sweetest japanese-argentinian girl ever who likes to go to museums and discuss philosophy, a student from Toulouse who likes parapente (my thesaurus says it’s also an english word), and his two friends […]
When I came to Thailand, I knew about two things : it’s way more touristic than any other country I’ve visited in this trip, and I might see a lot of portraits of the King of Thailand. I discovered a third thing : I was right. You see a lot of portraits of the King. […]
Today, I don’t feel like translating the whole post. If you can read french it would be better for you to read this post in french. 80% of Lao people live in villages. Some of these villages, in the North, are only accessable after walking for six hours in the mountain and the jungle… villages […]
Yeah, I don’t even have a good title for this post. And few pictures I like. I was in Luang Prabang for two or three days, without knowing what I was doing there and where I would go after. So I made some postcards in the meantime and took Lao coffees and read with my […]

A few days ago, january 3rd, was the end of my fourth month of traveling, and so it ended the first third of my trip. So I guess I just have eight more months to discover the rest of the world! Gotta be fast now! What did I do in 4 month? If I look […]
I arrived in Lao by the South, from the North of Cambodia. In the North of Cambodia, nothing interesting happened, because I only stayed one day. In Lao, I went directly to Si Phan Done, the place they call the 4000 Islands… And the name is well chosen : it’s a place on the Mekong […]
I forgot to wish you a happy new year in yesterday’s post… As I’m writing this post (I’m on december the 30th), I just finished writing the previous one on Angkor Wat, and I didn’t really think of the date. So yeah, have a happy new year filled with new horizons and love and peace […]
