Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos (so far)

SE Asia is so amazing!
Every town (or city or village) in every country that we have visited has been so unique and so beautiful. I think I expected things to be more similar from one place to the next but that is not the case.
The people are different, they look different and definitely act different! They do have friendliness and smiling in common and respect for all people around them!
The cars are different, the tuk tuks are different, roads are different! In Cambodia you drive on the right (supposedly, I don't know if anyone follows that haha), in Thailand you drive on the left, and now we are in Laos and it's back to the right.
The prices are different, Cambodia is cheap(er), Thailand is relatively cheap, and Laos is by far the cheapest we have seen so far!
Speaking of prices...the money is different, U.S dollars to Cambodian Riel to Thai Baht to Laos Kip haha. All over the board, getting better at figuring all of them out though! :)...so that we never get ripped off!
The faces are different!...Thai are pretty and have the almond eyes of Chinese but not as defined. Cambodians are dark and beautiful, big eyes and big lips! Laos are lighter complected(like Chinese) than Cambodians but also have the big eyes and big lips :) sooooooooooo pretty! Its so fun to see how unique each person in each culture can be!
It's pretty green everywhere, even though we are nearing the end of the dry season. I don't know how it stays this green without rain! Laos is SOOO beautiful, it's pretty much all jungle so far. It's actually nice traveling by bus (super cheap is a plus), even though it takes quite awhile you get to see the countryside while you travel. It's amazing the people and places that you pass.
The people you see along the road usually have a little wooden shack (always on stilts, I learned that it is not only to keep you up out of the rain but also to keep out all the wandering pigs, dogs, and chickens). The little shacks are about the size of one of the rooms at our houses, they seem to be just one 'big' open room for everything. There are always animals and kids wandering around outside.
Hopefully we will get to go trekking at some point so we can see how these villagers live and what their daily lives are like! That would be an unforgettable experience.
Ok, more about the people here soon. Sorry if this is boring :) Can't wait to start working with people and learning from them.
Much love...
