The "bird flu" has been ruffling some feathers around here for
the last year or so and tourists have been staying away in
flocks. One newspaper ran a story with this quote from a local
farmer talking about his brood of hens:
"They bled from the nose and the backs of their heads turned
purple and then black, and then they died."
Sure makes me want to move there.
Other highly desirable reasons for passing on the opportunity to
retire in Laos include some car and bus bombings, armed gangs of
thugs preying on both locals and tourists and a steadily
escalating crime rate with stolen foreign passports on top
of the list of most desirable booty.
