Below is my account during my early happy years in Savannakhet, Thakek and Thadeua Vientiane.
Though I didn't have any idea to keep a journal at that time, every event occurring during those times from 1960 to 1971 is still fresh in my mind. What's more the event of 1981, the year I left Muang Lao for good, was still deep imprinted in my psyches... the small boat, the receding shore of the Mekong River, the trembling of my heart and the sobbing of my soul... And lastly, the event of 1998, the year I went back to Muang Lao, to get a good glimpse of this majestic river and relearn what it is like to be along the shores of the Mekong River one more time...
