Well lions don't like water, a scarecrow would get waterlogged and a tin man would just sink so perhaps swimming across The Mekong River isn't such a good idea.
No, it isn't but he's not going to swim across with his entourage, is he? Like Dorothy, he's going to be caught up in a tornado, together with his pick-up, two dogs and boyfriend and they are going to end up intact in Vientiane where they'll follow the Yellow Noodle Road for an all-new fantasy-adventure. A new location is fertile ground for new story arcs: banal generalisations on the Laotian way of life (versus Thai), possible amnesia, the appearance of a long-lost twin, new loves, new jealousies, etc, etc. The announcement of his move alone has revived interest in his tales. He's lasted eight years on this board with 3000+ posts - obviously somebody somewhere is following the soap opera.
