Merry Christmas from Vientiane!

Merry Christmas from Vientiane where December 25th, as in many countries in this part of the world, is just another day. Nevertheless, there are a few Christmas decorations to be spotted around town and many clothing businesses sell seasonal attire in the form of Santa outfits.
Christmas Day actually marks three months since my departure from Canada and time is really flying by. One English course has come to an end, I’m starting to feel quite at home here and then I learned the other day that all Cuso International volunteer contracts in Laos will end on March 15th because Cuso is pulling out of South East Asia. Nevertheless, I will give the best of my abilities to my teaching placement over the next three months and be grateful that I had this incredible opportunity that has taken me down the international volunteering path. Who knows where it will lead next?
