Back in the exciting 60's in Laos, most of the foreigners working there wore a lot of 24 carat gold jewelry. The more flamboyant ones preferred the Chinese four seasons bracelet which seemed a bit odd to me for a country that only had three seasons - hot, less hot and wet hot. The concept was, if one's aircraft went down in bad territory, you could buy your way down the mountains with a bit of gold. I never quite understood that concept either as, if the bad guys saw you had some gold, why not just take it all...
