Towards lunch time I head to the embassy and realize how small the world is, especially Vientiane. I meet a couple of German cyclotourists again. I had met them a number of times on the road between Luang Prabang and here. I say goodbye to them for the last time as they are ''escaping'' to Thailand. They have had unpleasant experiences in Laos and did not fully appreciate this, in my opinion, beautiful country.
Li avevo incontrati svariate volte in strada nella tratta da Luang Prabang a qui. Scambio gli ultimi saluti con loro che scappano in Thailandia. Hanno avute spiacevoli esperienze il Laos e non apprezzano a pieno questa, a mio avviso, bellissima Nazione. Poco dopo incontro Claudio anch' egli venuto per ritirare il suo passaporto.
