What do you drink when it’s a billion degrees???

By Mardi Michels on August 25, 2009 in drink, Laos, travel

It. was. so. hot. in. Laos. And I am from Australia… You know it was that kind of weather when you wonder why you bothered having a shower and putting on clean clothes. When your ankles sweat. So it was definitely thirsty work…

My favourite drinks in foreign countries are the soft drinks: And my personal favourite on this trip (aesthetically, not taste-wise) was this: Green Mirinda (our travel companion Sue’s favourite!) Some of us (Neil…) were just content to drink the ever present Beer Lao (the “international beer of Laos”) since you might as well have been drinking water, it was that weak… Or you know, perhaps you would prefer a coffee-based beverage: If these don’t float your boat, how about some “energy drinks”?? (yes, that does say “Devotion. Courage. Sacrifice.” Uh huh.) (yes that one does say “Good Sweat Get”) And yes, that one was as gross as it looked.

Or how about a “grass jelly drink”?? (ummm… what’s “grass jelly”??) Or this drink with 70% “coconut meat” (yes, yes, I know what they mean but still… eeeew): Or how about just drinking multiple fruit shakes a day???

Actually, most days, I was content to just drink this: But if you’re Neil, you of course have to try the local firewater in the form of a mojito: How was that, then Neil???
