While I was in Laos, I inadvertently made a lot of little kids cry. I didn’t try to pick them up or anything but one look at my blue eyes and they started climbing on their moms…
See, that’s why we are empowering locals: insiders are much more effective than outsiders at winning trust and spreading information.

Oh my gosh, Kristyn, this is so hilarious. I can’t imagine if I hadn’t grown up in America and seen ‘kone falang.’ I like your statement about those insiders earn trust the best, which is very true.

Thanks Theek! I feel bad for those babies and really try to lay low but they always spot me:)
