Funny Photo - Action Asia 2010 Marathon

This picture is hilarious.  It was snapped by a photographer during the Action Asia marathon that took place in Laos back in 2010.  Picture shows one of the runners passing by a local.  The local is a little lady carrying a back full of a wood and if you look close enough she's also carrying a child on her back.  Correction:  It's two local ladies carrying lots of wood on their back.  From that particular angle it looked like she was carrying a child too but it's actually just another local following her.

In any case, I wonder who has more endurance? :-p

Story to Share: Filipino History in Laos

Something that all Lao people should be made aware of is the Filipino contribution to Laos.  This is something I just learned recently myself.  And I thought it was definitely worth sharing.  I admit a bit of ignorance on this.  Until recently I didn't know the extent of Filipino contribution in Laos now or previously with many having done a great deal of humanitarian work.
