Reason why I feel enjoying my life more than before

I love my life here

Recently, I feel my life here in Laos is more exciting and more enjoyable than before.

Is it because I could get to speak Laos well and I can communicate with local people, can ask any question if I want to know something and can say what I want to tell them?? And I'm now proud of my Lao language skill ??

Or, is it because I almost spend a year here, and getting used to the life here?? I have a lot of friends to go out for beer everyday without hesitating. And I stared free English class and most of all students enjoy every time, which also makes me enjoy teaching??

Or, is it because I worked here for social projects for villagers and knew a lot of things that I wanted to but I had never known before such as living life of villagers, the way to support them, how they react on our support?? and I find that I can't stop keeping learning to develop myself because I'm not as useful person as I expected??

Or is it because I have responsible for PR of ODOP project and have much ownership to make a new thing, try and error?? And PR (especially Communication) was not my field before and it's something I escaped before, but once I try to make efforts, I realize it can be my field, I can enjoy working it because need to learn technical skill that I can utilize in my future??

Or is it because we may have ODOP 2 with larger scale (covering five province in south) from April 2011? And we have now a lot of things to prepare for the projects, and networking with many organization and people and agency, which makes me very very busy in a good way??

it's because all of the reasons happens to me now,

all of the reason makes my life here much more enjoyable and exciting.
I'm feeling that everything happening to me happens for my life =)

Anyway I love the life here.

The way to enjoy Life here in Laos 1

The way to enjoy Life in Laos part 1

A few days ago, I visited to a project site of Wild Honey and Hoi Hom (Snail) in Savaranh Province. And one the way back from Saravanh to Savannakhet, this is shopping time for us !!!

(you can see how they sell product from this picture.)
From Saravanh to Pakse (around 120Km), we found a lot of Corns in this time.It's extremely cheaper price, because they can sell products directory. Normally the price of products we can see in local market, is with transportation cost, intermediary (coz mostly producers can't sell in local market by themselves due to lack of transportation cost and no car to take).

Each season, each time has different agriculture products we can find. And every time our Lao staff and driver teach me the knowledge of them. Because I myself don't cook at all unluckily, I don't buy much, but every time I also buy some of them for my host family to cook !!! In this time, I bought 15 corns at 7000KIP (less than 1USD / about 70Yen).

The products we found in this time.
I love to see characteristic products in local Laos.
And it will be hint of Product Development (ODOP).
