What Makes Sticky Rice Sticky? And Other Thoughts.

It's something we've wondered for a while, and never had an answer to. "What makes sticky rice sticky?" Usually greeting with an odd smile but no definative answer. We've talked to other travelers, who too have never had the answer to this mystical question.

Well we now know. When we went to the Buddha Park, and had the impromptune English class, we were given The Knowledge Of The Sticky Rice. It's like knowing the answer to Life The Universe And Everything... What makes it sticky?.. Cooking it for longer! That's it. Over cook it, stick it in one of the little basket things it comes served in, you have yourself sticky rice. Oh well at least we know now.

Another thing, that is funny to us but probably no-one else. We have done a full tour of the Nazim chain of restaurants in Laos. Well if 3 makes a chain. Luang Prabang, Vientiane and now here tonight in Vang Vieng we completed our Top Trumps of Indian Restaruants here in good old Laos.

You can tell we have not done much today, by the fact that we've had time to think about this stuff. If you think this is bad, wait until I get on one about my idea for a chain of bar/restaurants called SAME SAME... But I'll leave that one for another time.
