Nice and I bet your cousin is a mechanical engineer or a Jack-of-all trades. If I own that motorbike, I would put a cooler on the side trailer, filled the cooler with ice and a gallon of goat milk and ride shirtless and wearing cowboy hat through Vientiane. Grin

Would I be in prison for having no shirt on?

He is very good at fixing motorbikes and cars.

You won't go to prison, but what you're doing may be deemed inappropriate and disrespectful to Lao culture and you could be stopped by police and be given a fine.

It's funny how white tourists like to act like they're in a movie or something and walk around shirtless with those baggy hippy pants when they go to Asian countries. The locals just point and laugh at them. Anyone else seen this?

Another thing is white tourists riding bikes from one end of Laos to another.

In Cambodia, most older dudes walk around shirtless if they're just in the vicinity of their neighborhood. It's pretty funny though to see shirtless white dudes ordering food in restaurants or walking into their guesthouse.

I don't have a problem with bicyclists. I think it's pretty cool what they're doing. They're usually in good shape and have a goal and get to spend their time taking in the scenery and exercising. Most bicyclists just go to different countries and bike around.
