| Luang Prabang, Laos |
| The three of us flew into Luang Prabang, Laos and immediately we realized that we didn't have enough money for all our visas and they didn't accept credit card and there was no atm. Fortunately Adam befriended a fellow member of the tribe, from Israel no less, who loaned him the cash. Of course, Adam did have to earn that money, if you know what I mean. Luang Prabang is awesome. Laotian people are so laid back, and after being bum-rushed in Cambodia and Vietnam, it was nice dealing with some people who weren't so 'in your face'. One image that resonates in my mind is walking through their night market. Over a hundred people, yet there was silence. No one trying to force-feed you anything. Everyone speaking in whispers. Lovely. |
| Adam quickly picked up a girl from down under. |
| I love the water, especially when it's falling. |
| Girl from a local village. She showed us around her place. Quaint, to say the least. |
| Songkron is a Buddhist holiday that involves throwing water at anything that moves. Lasts 4-5 days, and it's a hella good party. |
| While Adam went off with his bird, Chris and I went on an awesome trek about 3 hours north of Luang Prabang. Well off the beaten path. The trek was 3 days long and we stayed in villages both nights. We biked, we kayaked, we hiked. It was amazing seeing the way people up there live and to see the beautiful scenery. This trek was the highlight of the whole trip for me. |
