    Two Australians are in the hospital. Nobody’s talking about the two Danish girls who died, or how the UK foreign office is involved in helping their citizens in the area as well.

    This may be bigger, and targeted, than it may seem initially. Because all of the 4 poisoned persons I’ve heard about, were drinking at the same hostel as a bunch of other kids, who didn’t get poisoned.

      From the linked article:

      It is understood at least two Danish women in their 20s have died, and at least 10 have fallen ill after drinking the tainted alcohol.

      A statement from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can confirm that two Danish citizens have passed away in Laos. For reasons of confidentiality in personal matters the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no further comments.”

      ‘Nobody’ says anything about anything if you don’t bother to read anything they have to say.

      The Australian press is talking about the Australians. I’m sure the Dutch press is talking about the Dutch, and so on.
