No worries, mate. For those of us who’ve been following you, we all adore Mina and we’ll be sad to see her go back to her grandmother. She is everything you described and more. She has that charisma and charm that’s hard to explain, but she gets you in the heart. I’m just worrying that she may not want to go back. She knows she’s getting a lot of love from the both of you, the viewers and supporters. We’ll see what happens. Great videos, as always. Cheers and take care.

Hang on ol mate you do not need to apologize and no one can judge you and your lovely wife mate. Whatever you two decide is your business and just watching these last episodes and having the lovely Mina there has been a bloody blessing. My wife and I take our hats off to you and Nee Nee and the job you have done. So it is your business and young Mina has been so lucky to have you two in her life. Don,t listen to the do gooders you just do what you have to ol mate. We are there on the 29th september to 29th october. Really looking forward to experiencing the Lao life.

Hey Todd, To apologize about the rain as you have shows that you care and want tourists to have a positive experience. I guess all of us who have been following you guys for a very long time are wondering what will become of Mina. We all have an emotional stake in her as you do. There are no easy solutions. Ultimately ,you will make the right decision. You guys are too good. Sending much love and affection from a Hot and very Steamy Richmond, Va. 🙏🙏 Jim and Harriet

No apologies necessary about coming. Thai girlfriend and I had a blast crossing over into Vientiane at the beginning of August. Went straight up to Vang Vien for 4 days, saw all the lagoons, hiked, dune buggy’d, and explored all over. Was everything you said it would be. As for Mina, you opened Pandora’s box brother. Sending her back now would be devastating for her. You guys need to adopt! She’s lucky to have you both!

Mina is definitely the star of the show now. Full of vibrance, life and curiosity. What a blessing to have in your life, and for you and Neenee to be in hers. I'm with you Todd - that new market area behind the walls are terrible. Vientiane definitely needs to look at the footage you shared of the Savannakhet foreshore, and do something similar.

Todd, Neenee and Mina, great vlog as always. I am always amazed by how quickly a river can rise even without outflow from dams. However, I think in this case you are probably right that the Chinese dams have been opened. Wow, Mina's English is doing so well, with "Look Papa, it's a market", bless her. Yes Todd, you are right there are many Big C Department stores here in Thailand, selling everything from food , including French Cheeses, to Fridges, lychees to luggage. Thanks for sharing God bless you all 😀❤🙏

I lived in Vientiane, Laos before the dams. In the dry season, you can almost walk across to Thailand. During monsoon season, the banks usually overflows. With crazy rains this year, you should be glad there is flood control. A lot for folks in Vientiane are extremely lucky it isn't the past, otherwise you will have a repeat of dramatic flood scenes as seen in other parts of the world.

It's quite common in Laos for families in the provinces, to send their children to their families and relatives in the city so their kids can get a better education. An ex workmate (a Brit) who's married to a Lao, informally 'adopted' his wife's niece from provincial Vientiane, so the girl can get a better education. She was only around 10 when she arrived in Vientiane and is now about to start university. My friend and his wife are childless. I was talking to his wife before we left Laos. She told me, she has two children, her niece and her husband!

Hi Todd,,,thank you very very much,,and Neenee too,,for doing that with my niece! It definitely touched my heart and made me tear up a bit. Such an unbelievably sweet,,girl. It never ceases to amaze me how she can mimic English. I noticed when she gets a new word she says it over and over. I think shes on to something there. They claim if you repeat something 5 times or more,,its in your mind. Shes doing great. Wish I was there to help her learn too. Its always amazing what water can do,,I'd say you're correct in your assessment of the evil empire,,and the water release. I'd say they are dumping shittons into the rivers,,no warning of course,,since they dont give a half a shit about human life. Hopefully,the rains will calm down. Did you hear about the fire in Hawaii,,on Maui. Biggest loss of life ever,,from a wildfire in U.S. history. Near 100 dead and well over a hundred more missing. Glad I'm not there. My ❤ to you and Neenee and more ❤❤❤❤❤🍪🍪🍪🍪🥭🥥🍑 to Mina. Ttyl,,,Marlon

To be honest Hans I'm not sure what you want to know. Your only 2 previous comments talk about getting married to your Lao girlfriend and how to settle down here. The other having to be married to a Lao person to own land here.. So what exactly is your question? If it is "how to settle down here.." it sounds like you're already on your way to doing that by getting married, and that solves your problem of buying land. Yes.. it will be in her name.
