A recipe for Coconut Sticky Rice
Beautifully written, and painfully sad. We found the people of Laos warm and welcoming. But I wonder how the Chinese will parse the competing demands of their dams on the Mekong and the high-speed train they’re planning to bisect the whole peninsula.

"Laos owed China at least $250 million last year for the railway alone." Being in hock to China isn't a great position to be in...
Perhaps the potential for that stage of the railway to provide access and profit to China may protect that part of the world from any thought of withholding water. On past events, it's not entirely promising.
I was drawn in so quickly by this beautiful writing, Julia. Gorgeous and consequential.
My fave way to eat sticky rice, the salt goes a looong way. Should I be surprised China looms over in a damming way?
