Thanks Mark. Yeah, the phone thing threw me a little too. But believe  
me, your stereotype is not off base--one of them asked me, "How do you  
buy something?" And they freaked out when I showed them how my iphone  
worked. It's really something spending time with these guys. They are  
so hungry to learn about the outside world. I was in Luang Prabang  
Laoas 3 years ago and more than a couple had never heard of Los  
Angeles, California, the United States, and, what really blew my mind,  
"Hollywood!"
