Above the blogger Marine Richard, a French woman who travels through Laos alone. The name of her blog la-haut translates into Yonder when I enter it into Google translater, who knows if this is correct. I'd urge you to go to either language and take a look, read for a while. Better to just go and read for yourself than to read what I think of it.
I found this blog by happenstance as I do many things on the net, I followed an incoming hit to my blog to see where it came from. I scrolled through the blog looking for a link, on the way I saw many intriguing photos. Intriguing in that they showed a keen eye for what is Lao, especially rural upland northern Lao. The blog was also in french. I have my eye out now for blogs in French showing very off the track type things.
