We are in Laos and it is very exciting. The mountains are beautiful, green and lush. The town is very different from the other towns we have visited. It is smaller. I like it a lot better than Hong Kong and Thailand because everyone seems friendly and inviting. The buildings are very french with balconies made of wood and there are lots of cafes and everyone speaks French. There are really neat tuk tuks here. They are like a tuk tuk (motocycle taxi) except they are higher off the ground and more like a truck with bigger space in the back. They look a bit like Papa's old truck with three wheels and the canopy cut off. The river runs right through town. We bought a parasol last night at the night market. This night market was very different from the one in Chaing Mai. It was quieter and lots of crafts.
Photos won't load - will try later. m

ReplyDeleteI thought you'd start loving your trip once you got into the smaller towns and out of the hot cities.
Great writing by the way.
