Utopia!


I guess everybody dream about a visit to Utopia or even better, they would like that the world is like that so they could live there.
But why is this so that the word or the thought of Utopia has this effect on people, what is Utopia exactly?If you ask me, I’ll just say out of my free interpretation and subconscious farmer knowledge or belief, that it is a beautiful place somewhere in the nature, and somewhere where everything is in harmony, where pleasure has conquered hardship and struggle. It a place where you can lay around on soft cushions to enjoy the view out on the riverbanks by a lazy river submersed by sunshine. Utopia is a location where people of different nationalities will mix up without any racial loathing. It is where someone will bring you one nice cocktail after another, and should you feel a bit of hunger, food would be delivered with the next cocktail.
People there feel alive and in no hurry to get anywhere or rushing to get anything done, they will have no immediate obligations, only relaxation and pleasure.
Say’s my naive peasant wisdom, just so, out of the blue.
“Utopist” is what the socio intellectuals would say to that and continue by adding, that there is no such place, and that just the thought of it is; -yes, “utopia”.
To that I can say: “I have been there” and it was just a little month ago or so, this Christmas (that just was), and Utopia exists and that it is in Laos, in Luang Prabang and if you no one will believe what I’m telling, I can provide some photographic evidence here.
