Crossing border to Laos & 4000 islands | Singapore to Germany motorcycle trip | Laos
Our time in Cambodia came to an end and we headed to Laos. A country filled with amazingly kind people and delicious bread (thanks to the French).
We were crossing the border on May 1st, which is an International Labour Day in a lot of ex-Soviet countries as well as communist countries. So we expected the border control to be a bit grumpy because they had to work on a day off and guess what they were.
Exiting Cambodia was easy and entering Laos was equally as easy! Fill in the docs, get a visa if you didnt before, pay a bit here and a bit there and Welcome to Laos!
We decided to spend the first couple of days on the island of Don Det. The question was how can we get our bike there? Well tiny, shabby boat to the rescue! We managed fine and stayed in Don Det bungalows for about 5 days before heading off to Pakse. Whilst in Don Det you can visit several waterfalls and an old French bridge, also there is a small train-museum thingy on the way to the waterfalls where no one stops but you should :) get a bit of history of the place, it actually is very interesting.
We adopted a charity Save the Children and want to raise USD 10,000 on our motorcycle ride from Singapore to Germany. Your help and support is what suffering kids around the globe need! You can donate at
Enjoy and stay safe guys!

In this episode, Rod first crosses the border into Pakse, Laos near the Thailand town of Ubon Ratchathani. Exploring the multicultural influences (French, Chinese and more) of the area, we learn that Pakse refers to the mouth of the river.
Discover how two fellow Aussies (Tim and Meredith Shaw) are traversing the nation. Hint: According to Meredith, it is better than Jenny Craig.
The Lao-Nippon bridge is quite impressive, as you will see, opened as recently in the year 2000 and a gift from the Japanese. A glimpse at a former private residence, now a hotel, which boasts 1,000 windows is demonstrative of the luxuries of previous regimes.
Xuanmai Guest House, Rod's home away from, a brand new and on the edge of town, is quite charming, with its own pond, and a lot of bamboo!
See for yourself, on Rod McNeil.TV!
FROM TOURISM LAOS:
Located : on a curve of the Mekong River
Total area : 3,920 square kilometers
Population : 610,000
09 Districts : Chanthabouly, Sikhottabong, Xaysettha, Sisattanak, Naxaithong, Xaythany, Hadxaifong, Sangthong and Park Ngum
Capital : Vientiane.
According to myth, the city of Vientiane was created by the Naga Souvannanak. Vientiane was an ancient city whose territories covered both banks of the Mekong River. The first name of Vientiane was Ban Nong Khanthae Phiseuanam village, which later became Vientiane town under the leadership of the first Governor, Bourichan or Phraya Chanthabouly Pasitthisak, between 430-120 B.C.
In 1357 King Fa Ngoum held a grandiose celebration for the great victory of the unification of all Lao territories enhancing his prestige and power over the nobility throughout the Lane Xang Kingdom and the neighboring kingdoms. It was organized in the Pak Pasak area in present day Vientiane.
In 1560, King Saysettha moved from Luang Prabang to declare Vientiane as the capital city of the Lane Xang kingdom, naming it Nakorn Chanthabouly Sitta tanakhanahood Outtama Rajathany
During the reign of King Souliyavongsa Thamikarat in the 17th century, Vientiane grew to become one of the most developed civilizations. The city was the center of administration for politics, socio-economics and culture. The kings were brave, clever and kind and people were happy. The palaces were very beautiful, looking like golden houses standing along the bank of the Mekong River.
However, Vientiane was burnt down by Siames troops in 1828, and divided into two cities. The city on the right side of the Mekong River became part of Siam and the city on the left side remained part of Laos. At present, Vientiane is a smaller city, only half of its former size.
In the years of 2009 and 2010; two great historical events take place in Vientiane. In 2009 we hosted the 25th annual SEA Games and in 2010 we held a celebration of the 450th anniversary of the foundation of Vientiane as the Capital (1560-2010). To prepared for the above auspicious events Vientiane people have continued developing the city to be peaceful, clean, green, charming, light and civilized.

Lao Oral History Archive Trailer (Full Version)
This project, the first of its kind, will document the untold stories of Lao refugees in the US through audio and video media and create an on-line archive of interviews, videos, and historical documents. Currently, there are almost no existing oral history projects and little academic research that focus on the ethnic Lao refugees in the US. By creating a Lao Oral History archive, CLS aims to raise awareness within the Lao-American community and the greater population of the history, culture, and contemporary realities of Lao refugees in the US as well as the Central Intelligence Agencys (CIA) Secret War in Laos in the 1960s and 70s. This project will disseminate the voices of underrepresented population, whose stories of immigration reflect unique moments in both Lao and American history, thereby building bridges between the past and present and between disparate cultures.
The project began in 2009. For more information, please contact the Center for Lao Studies.

Blackfish (2013) | Documentary
The story of Tilikum, a captive killer whale that has taken the lives of several people, underscores problems within the sea-park industry, man's relationship to nature, and how little has been learned about these highly intelligent mammals.
The documentary concerns the captivity of Tilikum, an orca involved in the deaths of three people, and the consequences of keeping orcas in captivity. The coverage of Tilikum includes his capture in 1983 off the coast of Iceland and his purported harassment by fellow captive orcas at Sealand of the Pacific. Cowperthwaite argues these incidents contributed to the orca's aggression.
The film includes a testimonial from Lori Marino, director of science with the Nonhuman Rights Project. Cowperthwaite also focuses on SeaWorld's claims that lifespans of orcas in captivity are comparable to those in the wild, typically 30 years for males and 50 years for females, a claim the film argues is false.[8] Other people interviewed include former SeaWorld trainers, such as John Hargrove, who describe their experiences with Tilikum and other captive whales.
The documentary reports that the whales have experienced extreme stress when their offspring were captured in the wild or when separated after breeding at water parks. The film features footage of attacks on trainers by Tilikum and other captive whales as well as interviews with witnesses.

My escape from North Korea | Hyeonseo Lee
As a child growing up in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee thought her country was the best on the planet. It wasn't until the famine of the 90s that she began to wonder. She escaped the country at 14, to begin a life in hiding, as a refugee in China. Hers is a harrowing, personal tale of survival and hope -- and a powerful reminder of those who face constant danger, even when the border is far behind.
