lost its soul

whenever i go to a developing country, i like to get drunk, half-naked, and start kicking it crazy-style, all while i ponder the economic inequality in the world and my place within it all. i see it as a political statement really.

here are a couple youtube clips from vangvieng, Laos, of people doing just that:



well, at least these whities are contributing to the Lao economy right?
the link to the article i ripped them from:

yeah, Laos is definitely needs to put "what happens in Laos, stays in Laos" on their new tourism promotional posters.
