Sounds nice. cool
Is this where you've re-settled (from Taiwan) to?
Taike, Where exactly is Vientiane?


Vientiane's the capital of Laos, Scott. It's situated along the Mekong River. In fact, Thailand is at the other side. Breathtaking sunsets every night!

I'm in Ban Sivilay (Sivilay Village) which is a short drive from Vientiane City. Nothing beats living in a village.

Since weather reports have become part of this thread, I'll mention that we've just had 36 hours of non-stop snowfall (yes, about two feet, chas), the temperature has hovered around the -15C mark, and now we're in for a ten day cold snap. Highs around -25C, lows around -34C. Oh, and there'll be some windchill added to that. Just in case anyone asks, no I don't know what I'm doing here.

Dave,

I think you've lost it--LOVE SNOW? Well, for me it's palm trees, snow-white sand, turquoise waters, and 75-degrees f. Almost forgot. There's usually a side benefit of younger ladies wearing itsy-witsy teeny-weeny yellow polka-dot bikinis. After seeing your latest photo, though, you probably forgot about those things. wink

And yes, Chas, I figured it out right away. smile

Cheers,

Gary cool

We even have snow in Louisiana today. Grandson got to throw a few snowballs. It may be his last chance for years!

Glad to hear that Gary, after all, it WAS pretty deep........two feet deep, in fact smile smile. BTW, I'm with you on the palm trees and all, never should have left Hawaii (or Florida). Being closer to the grandkids is definitely not worth it, the little buggers.

Since this has turned into weather reporting, we're now in the middle of snow and freezing rain. All schools and the like are closed tomorrow. I'll be spending the day drowning my sorrows over the Eagle's loss today. Oh well, I still have my adopted team, the Atlanta Falcons, to root for.

I had that snow and freezing cold for over 50 years and that's enough for me.

It's currently 77 degrees in sunny Tampa today; we should be getting rain this afternoon. I like these conditions so much better.

Al,

with luck I'll be sailing to your neighborhood during the winter of 2012. We're expecting about 6 inches of snow tonight and lots more Saturday. 77 and sunny sounds a whole lot better to this old man.
