They have a baby monkey in a cage in Phoudindaeng village. Three times the question has been asked: Why do you have a baby monkey in a cage? These are the replyes:

                    1. Because we shot it's mother.

                    2. Because when we had it on a leash it kept biting people.

                    3. Because it tastes better when it's bigger.

Bad answers. Different custums. Interesting.

I am back at the farm now, after my little Thai adventure and the days are flying by. I spend most of my time with Houa, Yeng, Hai and Ohm; my h'mong friends and we have a really good time. Also Andrew has droped by on a visit and I think he will stay for a while. It's nice with a familiar face.

I really love it at the farm. It is so nice and peacefull and time just flyes by; which is one of the reasons I have decided I will leave. I am not done with travelling yet and there are quite a few places I want to see before I go home. I will stay at the farm until the 28th of April; which makes it two months of English teaching. And then I will head north, seeing some more of Laos and then head into the north of Thailand. I will have five weeks of travelling and I have some places in mind. I have talked to everybody at the farm and they think it's okay; so I guess it is all set. Three more weeks at the farm first though; and that is nothing I regrett!
