Si vous pouvez ne pas passer par la
même route que nous, faites-le. Car il y a un certain nombre de
choses peu plaisantes. Premièrement, après avoir traversé le bout
de Mekong en bateau, nous avons été induit, ou presque, à donner
de l'argent à la personne qui accompagnait le trajet. Il s'agit d'un
trajet uniquement pour touristes. Ce n'est apparemment pas une route
et une douane que les locaux utilisent beaucoup.

Lost in translation
Mirjam (pointing at a picture of a beefsteak with fries and salad): I would like this please.
Waitress: ok
Waitress starts walking away.
Marcel: Please, can I also order something? (not in these words, much simpler).
Waitress comes back and looks at the item pointed out by Marcel.
Waitress nods and walks away.
So then we wonder what we will finally get.

Results:
- Two plates with a battered and fried fish, chips and salad. Close, but not really.
- One plate with the Lao beef salad. At least she got this right.
It was good, funny and quite expensive for Laotian rates.
