Taken on a trip to the land of Laos, everything was warm, calm, and exotic. The island of Don Det felt like a respite from all the stresses and burdens of the mechanistic, industrial realities of Western society. No paved roads, no cars, no police. Also no doctor, as one of our group discovered. He ended up with kidney stones and had to be taken to hospital in Pakse! But Don Det was basic, beautiful, and was the scene of pure, radiant sunsets almost too dazzling for us to handle. There was not time on this island.
