The silent game: a new challenge

I’ve seduced many a younger brother before, most often those of my friends. I have also seduced my own younger brother’s friends and, on occasion, their younger brothers too. So I guess you could say that I’m a sort of expert at the younger brother thing.

However, seducing Lana’s younger brother Phet is somewhat of a novelty. Firstly, our connection is as little more tortuous, since he is my school friend Lloyd’s Lao wife Lana’s younger brother. Secondly, at 21, he’s the youngest young brother I’ve ever targeted. And thirdly – and here is the real crunch – we cannot communicate through language.

He knows about ten words in English, and I even less in Lao. We’re down to body language and eye contact. I’m looking forward to the challenge.

Thankfully, six of us are heading for party town Vang Vieng for the weekend. Vang Vieng is Laos’s equivalent to Ibiza, outdoor parties, dancing through the night and all… I’m hoping that this alcohol-fuelled setting will help.
