The other side always caught more than we did.

Yep, just a stick, can be wooden or bamboo like the one I have below:








Very basic but still gets the job done and when we first arrived to the States, we were poor so we used soda cans like the example below:

You've thought wrong.

Our village was too far away from any grenade or bomb. We had no access to them. We were still scratching dry, old bamboo pieces to spark fire. Couldn't have lit a dynamite soon enough to drop onto any fish. Plus, we wanted clean, organic fish from the world's most calm and clear streams around. We got that by just fishing with lines and hooks that someone somehow managed to get to our most remote village.

Nope. We weren't poor. We were like the ancient people who were full of natural riches untouched by any modern illness. It's great to have experienced another lifestyle than what we have in  St. Paul.

Next is going to be a new and different lifestyle for me, too. That's my new aspiration. Different from the past or what I'm still used to right now.

I don't miss Laos.

Nor do I envy any of those toj siab chicks. They don't beat my current hottie.

Aww the younger days. The best memories are back at home. I’m glad I have a chance to be born and raised in Laos.

Well said, people who have never been through it could not appreciate nor comprehend our past.

At the end of the day, we both go home equally happy. And we tell each other how great the trip was.
