You may be bigger than me, but I'm the one with SECURITY on my t-shirt |
I suspect just about everybody in the crowd at the Elephant of the Year Procession knew instantly that Henry and I were not, by profession, security guards. Our T-shirts may have declared it, but I'm quite sure our body language did not. It's not easy to tell Lao people, in a language that is not theirs, at a Festival that is, not to reach out to touch their national icon.
But we muddled through. The elephants (for the most part) ignored the spectators who came just that bit too close. The crowds (for the most part) shuffled back a bit when Henry or I mumbled "back, back, back!" And I (for the most part) wondered whether next time I come up against a security guard in a black t-shirt and absurd hat, he'll be more nervous than me.
