It took until yesterday to realize I have yet to see a drug commercial of any kind anywhere in Laos, even on TV. There are lots of spots for airlines and high tech companies, but nothing for upset stomach, inability to sleep or the dreaded ED. Come to think of it, there are far fewer commercials in Laos than in the US, and most of them last a minute. Ah, those were the days!
Tidbits:
Po's secretary and her sister are home from the hospital. Po is better as well. The secretary's mother is still in hospital and Po's wife is to have liver surgery on the twenty-first out of country, so please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Seventy percent of Lao roads are unpaved. That's part of why traveling on them is so interesting.
Linen update: Today's sheets are burnt red and yellow with white runners with burnt red pinstripes on them and a plumeria (dok champa) pattern on the rest. The blue coverlet is tastefully covered in white daisies.

I want someone to change my linens for me! They sound so exotic.
ReplyDeleteNo big pharma, huh. What a nice thing. I think some shows are 15 to 20 minutes of commercials per hour. Disgusting. Good thing I don't watch much TV. Are the shows all in Lao? Must be. What an education.
My sheets are the same as they were in August, but now clean. So glad Po's secretary is out and about... she must prepare for SEA...
