    Re: Masks

    sunglasses are of little help...best thing is if everyone was forced to wear face masks, would stop them from expelling the virus...

    Yes, they can. Obviously not if you're just wandering around the streets, because then you're just being an idiot. However, if you're on a long-haul flight in an airplane for example, they're useful there as you can get infected through the eyes.

    As for masks, I bought myself one of these bad boys, haha.

    Doctor's advice. Obviously I don't wear it around town, but will be sporting it when I finally hop on a plane back to Asia. Now just have to wait for the Laos borders to open up again...

    Don’t hold your breath while you’re waiting. Not much if at all before 2022 is my tip.

    Yeah, I know. Even if Laos does open up before then which is quite doubtful, I'm sure they'll require vaccination certificate, and from how things look in Canada I'll be lucky to get a jab anytime this year.

    One thought I've had is hitting up NGOs and offering up my services to build up their technical infrastructure in exchange for giving me the essential worker label, but probably a pipe dream.

    I know, I already purchased one (see link) but Jai refuses to go to dinner with me when I'm wearing it.

    I propose making the burqa mandatory for all those whose birth gender is female as well as those who identify as female. There’s half the population covered already.

    Dear Laos NGO dude.
    I'm a blind Canadian who was recently deported from Thailand. Would that be the sort of chap you'd be looking for to build up your technical infrastructure?

    Form an orderly queue gentlemen.

    See, now you put me into a predicament. If I went off explaining why I don't believe it would be difficult to land a gig with an NGO you'd scoff at me with, "yeah right Matt, dream on buddy... I'm sure that's true", so what can a guy do?

    Doubt I would have any issue landing a gig with an NGO, and they'd be happy to have me. Now landing one with reputable NGO who has operations in Laos, both a need for and willingness to have me in Laos, the whillingness to request the Laos government request they permit me entry, and be reputable enough that the Laos government would actually listen.... well, that's a bit of a tall order.

    Oh I dont know as I beleive after receiving such bad press in the media of late about such stories that most NGO's are now HYPER sensitive to their their staff in the Countries they're sent to fucking the locals !

    And even more so perhaps to their staff setting up house and inviting either one or several twinks to "live in" with said staff member - I think the mere hint of some Gary Glitter style expose´ in national papers back at home would be enough to have then running a mile from such "kind offers of assistance" from kind hearted charitable gays like ourselves - and certainly ones who lets face it only want to work for them as it might suit their own (sexual?) needs in the first place anyway - just a thought..

    An excellent point well made. Officially the Lao government discourages sexual cohabitation outside heterosexual marriage and no NGO is going to condone ignoring such a prohibition. Private individuals can generally ignore it with some impunity, individuals associated with Western organisations are unlikely to be given such latitude.
