UPDATE: I’m back in North America and off to Liberia soon… ! More details to follow…
I am spending a year volunteering as a library and information science “expert” at the National University of Laos, in Vientiane. My internship was graciously coordinated by the wonderful and amazing Dr. Gorman, in affiliation with the IFLA-ALP (International Federation of Library Association’s Action for development through Libraries Programme).
Originally from Chicago, by way of France, Benin, and Montreal, I arrived here in June, 2008, and will be here until May, 2009 (or so…).

Greetings. I randomly found your blog while searching places to go get my haircut when I’m back in Laos this March (it was my first time going back there this Nov).
But pretty cool blog. I hope you are enjoying your time there. I sure had a blast and really enjoy reading your blogs. It brings me back to Laos and cant wait to have some Beer Lao and Johnny Walker again!!
