After a while, the things that made me a great footballer hampered my life progress and I came to resent every one of them and, in turn, it led me down a very darkpath.
Even as these dark memories linger, though, Laos is poised to follow a path traveled by its neighbors Vietnam and Cambodia, both now hot spots of a different sort: on the tourism map.
After dark has its attractions as well: buskers stake out small spots of the pedestrian path to serenade the crowd with old-fashioned favourites and new-fangled hits.
At the end of the day collision-related texting is no more comic than a drunk behind the wheel on a dark road late at night, when someone you love is about to cross his path.
